Programme note

The Impromptus are simple pieces designed as breaks from larger compositional projects for the piano. They are an ongoing set, working with simple melodic ideas in different guises. Additionally, all three pieces explore in a rudimentary fashion the relationship between differnt pitches - in Three Sad Dances it is G and G# in Three Wistful Tunes it is C and F.
