Beschreibung:
Commissioned by, and dedicated to 'The Glens', Sonatina is in three movements and was written over the course of a few days in December, here on the island of Mallorca where I live. Trying to start a piece is always the most difficult thing and sometimes I have to search for inspiration - on this occasion a beautiful walk on our local beach with my partner and our three small dogs, started me off with the first movement, 'Running with Dogs'; not that I do a lot of running these days, but you get the drift! In the summer months the beach is crowded, but during winter it is deserted save for a few locals, also with dogs. It is a heavenly spot, and in the fading golden sun of a December day, even more so. The slow movement, 'Poetic, somewhat sad', has a rather nostalgic feel to it. Written in the form of a simple song, its gentle lyricism lends it an air of days gone by, a quiet lamenting song of memories and of thoughtfulness. To end with 'Short impromptu dance' is just that!
