Youth - ten pieces for piano. Klavier. Partitur.

These are the first pieces I have composed for solo piano. Many of the sounds, patterns and ideas within them have been in my mind and under my hands for a long time. The brief pieces variously include performance directions like 'intimate', 'spacious', 'with childlike simplicity', 'as if improvising'. Each one seems to me now like a specific memory of an image, a sensation of place, a significant encounter, or a moment of vivid perception. I wanted above all to convey each musical image as clearly and directly as possible, and to write for the piano in a focused, uncluttered, personal way.Youth is dedicated to my nieces and nephews.© Edmund FinnisInstrumentation:piano
