12 Snippets, a series of small sonatas that is all of 2 " minutes in total
length, was premiered in Spring of 2000 by the Associacion Decadence at the
2000 for 2000 Festival in Southern France.  The Washington Post wrote of
this work, "(Mr.) Small's 12 Snippets (each 10 seconds long) revealed how
much wit one can pack within very circumscribed borders."

Haskell Small's compositions have been commissioned and performed by the
National Chamber Orchestra, the Washington Performing Arts Society, the
Three Rivers Piano Competition, the Paul Hill Chorale, the Washington
Ballet and the Amadeus Orchestra.  He is the winner of the 1999 Marin

with the Mount Vernon Orchestra Association of Virginia.

As a pianist, Mr. Small has performed at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully
Hall, Columbia University's Miller Theater, the Kennedy Center, the
National Gallery, Wolf Trap Farm, and the Spoleto Festival.  The recently
