ElegyIntrospective, suited to being sandwiched between faster works. Trickier than it sounds, with multiple lines to realise. 2 min 52 -- RW1 |
|
Elton JoelWith apologies to the two masters—I saw them perform together in Sydney, and wondered...what if they were to collaborate on a piano solo... 2 min 04 -- RW4 |
|
Grumpy TrollsAn intermediate contest piece with bite—storms and stamps all over the piano before the jump-up-and-bow finish. Now part of the Trinity Guildhall Grade 7 Exam syllabus. 1 min 24 -- RW7 |
|
CelebrationAn ebullient concert opener for intermediate to advanced pianists. Shifts up a gear—or two—at the 35 second mark after a pastoral start 2 min 21 -- RW2 |
|
Cryptic PreludeA song without words, but true to its name, the mood is very hard to pin down. 1 min 52 -- RW9 |
|
ProcessionalA much darker piece than the opening few measures suggest. 2 min 50 -- RW5 |
International Competition Level |
|
|
OvertureCascading concert showpiece, works either as a concert opener or (despite the title) encore work. This piece was recorded for Warner Music in 1995. 5 min 12 -- RW2 |
|
Sonata - 1st MovementFirst of three movements, although each movement can be programmed as standalone recital items. 5 min 07 -- RW14 |
|
Sonata - 2nd MovementAgain, can be programmed as a standalone Arietta. 3 min 23 -- RW14 |
Late Beginner - Intermediate |
|
|
SnowflakesDeceptively simple, with alternating hands creating the illusion of motion. 0 min 59 -- RW1 |
|
MicroWaltzGentle waltz that's over and done with in under a minute. 0 min 52 -- RW1 |
In development (score in production) |
|
|
EtudeDouble thirds anyone? An encore piece that demands plenty of the performer, despite only being 60 seconds long. |
|
LullabyComposed for my kids, from a dad who can play, but can't sing. More a bedtime story than a lullaby. |
|
Sonata - 3rd MovementIt's mostly worked out, I'm just having trouble actually playing the thing to generate a workable recording. (What idiot put so many notes in this piece?) |
