Larghetto

Larghetto was written when I was 14 (1994) as part of a piano sonata for GCSE coursework. The sonata has since been scrapped but its second movement (Larghetto) was grouped into the set of pieces called 'Romantic Miniatures for Piano.' The piece was written just as I was staring piano lessons and is roughly Grade 3/4 in standard. The harmony is simple, based around the mixolydian mode with a slow middle section adding contrast to the piece.

The piece has now been complied with a group of small pieces under the title Romantic Miniatures for Piano. The set of pieces consists of my more interesting early compositions and any romantic miniatures that I have written up to the present day. I am often called to write such pieces so the set is liable to grow in the future.
