Work introduction
This piece was influenced by the hot arid desert landscape of the American west. It was directly inspired by an episode of the TV series 'The Virginian'. It was first performed by a student for their MMus degree recital at Bath Spa University (UK) in 2021. It is a piece popular with my own students at advanced level.
The work is performed by concert pianist Nicola Meecham on a Steinway D in the Youtube video below.
