These three
solo harpsichord pieces
are a collection of
recent compositions, each
with an individual theme
and idea. The first, The
convertibility of Lute
Strings, was first
performed at the Purcell
Room, London in 1992. The
second, Tango for Tim was
written in memory of a
friend and composer Tim
Souster, which was
composed and first
performed in 1994. The
third piece, Elisabeth
Gets Her Way, is an
extended version of the
cadenza which Elisabeth
Chojnacka persuaded
Michael Nyman to add to
his Harpsichord Concerto,
which includes material
from the first two pieces
in this album.
