Enigma Part One
Enigma Part One was written when I was in Year 8 at Churcmead Secondary School. In a music lesson we had been set the task of learning a piece in pairs. I composed this short piece during the lesson as a duet for myself and Stuart Purcell (to whom the piece is dedicated). The piece is very basic musically being based on a repeated chord sequence and melody. Technically it would be ideal for about Gr1-2 soloist. Stuart was not a keyboard player but managed to tackle the main tune with ease.
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.
