The Milky Way (2’ 16”) This little piece was inspired by a beautiful photograph of the Milky Way cut out from a newspaper. I tried to create the vast feeling of space, as you stand and gaze up at the sky; a sense of timelessness, yet also the glittering of the thousands of night-time stars in the velvet night.…

The Seasons This piece was inspired by the words written at the top of the score. These were written by one of my pupils as part of a musical project we were all doing together; each of us wrote something literary about a favourite season, then each of us selected someone else’s words to give inspiration for a piano…
The Snowy Gate (1’) This tiny miniature was originally an improvisation to one of my photographs (a gate in deep, deep snow which I had taken locally.) The improvisation was for a friend, to send as a Christmas greeting, along with the photo, as he “liked five bar gates.” I liked the improvisation, with its depiction of cold and…

Waltz A short, light, pretty waltz, only one minute in length. This particular waltz had no particular inspiration, save that of the enjoyment of playing the piano! It has an almost balletic quality. It could be useful as an encore piece. It is also available in my collection of Five Waltzes. The sound file here is…

Waltz ‘Inspiration' (3’) This waltz was written in July 2018. It was sitting on my piano, half completed, when a pupil, who had lost her spark for enjoying playing was looking for something new.

Waltz Melancholie (2’ 15”) This was composed in one sitting, at about midnight. I was enjoying improvising. It was written down from the remembered improvisation. It has a somewhat melancholy feeling at the opening – it's in C minor. Part way through, it glows with warmth as it moves suddenly to A flat major. (Here, there needs to be…
