Liebesträume

'Libesträume' was written in March 1998 whilst I was taking my A-levels. The title (Love's dream) is evoked by the romantic harmony although the false relation in both the melody and harmony suggests that all is not straightforward. The piece was influenced by the preludes of Chopin which I was playing at the time but does not have the same thematic development that is seen in Chopin's works. The structure is a simple ternary and the piece is ideal for improving right-hand chordal work.

In 2006 the piece was orchestrated for The Furze Platt Senior School Orchestra.

The piece has now been compiled 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.
