1. The Original Improvisation 2. The Transcribed Version 3. The “Non-Tremolo” Version There are three versions of this, so I will try to explain my thinking. This set of compositions was a bit of an experiment. I wanted to play around with the effect that can be created by layering lines played in tremolo on…

This one has a few rhythmic issues and slowly turns into a bit of a nightmarish musical box, but there you go… As before, the title is just a weather-stamp – it was pouring down outside, again!

More seaside inspiration, but it got a bit more complicated this time. (As a result I couldn’t play it very well, but hopefully it gets the impression across!)

Sophie asked for some Mozart, so here goes… (please forgive the intonation – I don’t quite have the precision to do Mozart justice!)

This didn’t start life as a mazurka when I picked out the initial theme on the piano: I’m not really sure how it ended up as one! But I wanted to experiment with the whole tone scale, again inspired by music I had been playing (this time orchestral).
