These extended and quite complex pieces were composed during the second half of 1986, and the first performance was given by the composer on 21 November 1987. The first piece is darkly intense, No.2 is a playful and rather sardonic Scherzo with two distinct ideas, and is followed without a break by No.3, an extended slow piece. No.4 is a headlong toccata with a contrasting lyrical second theme and the jazz element here is quite strong.
