ductile failure is a piece for piano written specifically for Mike Winter's concert of one note pieces. In it the player plays one key over and over while tightening the string as if tuning it. The performer continues to tighten it until the string breaks under tension.

Special thanks to Alan Eder and August Friscia for making the piece possible.
