Une Autre Vie

This piece was written for Hannah Baker (see dedication to Dream Tunnel) and is in the style of a Chopin Nocturne although the parallel is not always clear. I was inspired to write the piece by seeing Hannah again after many years and hearing that she still plays the piano. The piece is around Grade IV level, mainly owing to the key. As with most of my more 'simple-sounding' music, the piece is littered with secret codes and messages. The piece has now been complied with a group of small/simple pieces under the title Romantic Miniature for Piano being the last piece in the set. The set ends as it began, 13 years later with a dedication to Hannah.

The piece was composed on the 7th June 2003 although many of the ideas for the piece had existed in my manuscript books for quite a while (one - which became bb.67-68 - is dated 11/11/02). The recording on this page was taken from the premiere with my playing the piece at St. Mary's Slough.
