SHORT SCORE

Short Score was requested by and written for Mark Simpson. The piece is in four short movements, which reflect the traditional layout of a sonata. The first is characterised by clarinet arabesques, which once or twice stray into the piano; the second is a brief scherzo, which begins and ends in with the lowest note of the instrument; the third, a somewhat restless slow movement; and the final movement, marked with abandon, brings things to a brisk conclusion, hinting at moments from the three previous movements along the way.
The first performance of the piece was given by Mark Simpson and John Wilson in 2006 festival, and it received a second performance by Mark with Ian Buckle during the week of events celebrating the re-opening of the historic concert room in St. George’s Hall in Liverpool in April 2007.
