MUSIC FOR A WHILE Op. 39; A Collection of Piano Pieces - Neville Bower.
"When Ian Lake took these pieces on tour with him some years back, he asked for separate titles for each piece and I provided the following: 1. Musing 2. Parade 3. Chorale I 4. Daydream 5. Spree (full free sample, click on jacket image to view/listen/print) 6. Lament 7. Chorale II. The music came to me first (as did Debussy's 'Preludes') and the titles were suggested by the music rather than the other way round." Reviewed in Piano Journal, Spring 2003; click here to view.

ESCAPEMENTS Op. 13; Solo Piano - Neville Bower.
Four pieces. First performance at Waltham Forest Music Library by Robert Ferguson in 1968. Second performance (again by Ferguson at Ealing (Ealonian Hall) on 3rd July 1968. At this time, I was incorporating my new scales, Indian ragas and what I called 'DIATONIC POINTILLISM' in my music. In 'Escapements' No.3 uses this latter mechanism whilst No.4 is a variation of the Indian 'Raga Multani'. The influence of the Sitar and Ravi Shankar are very much in evidence here.

Saliva Variations - Henry Hardy These variations, on a theme from a Greek tomb dating from the first century AD, were written in the summer of 1966, when the composer was seventeen, and first performed at a symposium held by Phrontisterion, the classical society of Lancing College, Sussex. The epitaph reads: 'As long as you live, shine bright; grieve over nothing at all; life is short, time asks an end in return.' Of the seven original variations, four were reused, with one new one, on 21 June 1975 at a concert in Wolfson College, Oxford: it is these five that appear here. In 1966 the variations were entitled with the initials of members of Phrontisterion, in 1975 with those of members of Wolfson. Click on the link to the left to view, listen and print.

FREE! Tolstoy's Waltz - Leo Tolstoy, ed. John Hardy Rediscovered (in manuscript facsimile) by Henry Hardy, after hearing it mentioned by Isaiah Berlin, while being interviewed for Humphrey Carpenter's history of the Third Programme/Radio 3, The Envy of the World. This is Tolstoy's only known musical composition. It appears in a Russian book by N. Gusev and A. Gol'denveizer, Leo Tolstoy and Music (Moscow, 1953), where it is attributed to Tolstoy's youth. In his contribution to the book, A. Gol'denveizer writes (p. 31): In his youth Lev Nikolaevich composed a waltz for the piano. When, in 1906, I was at Yasnaya Polyana with Taneev, Lev Nikolaevich played it to us, and we noted it down. This was the only time that we heard Lev Nikolaevich play. The waltz (in the key of F major) is printed as an appendix to the book. It was recorded for the National Sound Archive by Imogen Cooper on 17 October 1997 (click here to hear the recording), and has been played once on Radio 3 by Brian Kay. It lasts less than a minute, and has great charm. The above note compiled from information provided by Henry Hardy Click on the link to the left to view, listen and print.
