Infos

This is a collection of 36 piano pieces dating from 1995 to 2002. At times enigmatic, at others direct, the writing captures and reflects a myriad of moods, revealing Skempton's highly original voice. Although most of the pieces were composed for seasoned performers, they are suitable for any pianist seeking worthwhile and imaginative contemporary repertoire.
