Book Synopsis

for piano, violin, viola, and celloThe Piano Quartet No.1 was written in 1992 and is in one movement. The composer writes: While writing it I was reminded of painting where blocks of colour meet or where objects intersect, of the mysteriousness of those moments. The painter Robert Ryman said that whatever is made should delight and have a rightness about it. That was my aim.

Trade Review

The work has a definite personality and intent . . . There's much to enjoy here. If you've the patience and go for the brittleness of the texture, this quartet could be a valuable addition to the small but rich repertoire for this combination. * Piano, Sept 97 *
There is a layer of ironic detachment, but it is overwhelmed by a manic intensity of expression, often in gleeful dance rhythms driven by some raging demon. * Robert Maycock, The Independent *
