These 'Two Diversions' for piano deal with a growing contrast between simultaneous musical ideas. The first 'Diversion' presents a line of paired notes, musical intervals, that maintain a single speed throughout, while the other very changeable material uses many different speeds and characters. The second 'Diversion' contrasts two musical lines one of which, on the whole, grows slower and slower while the other grows faster and faster. With these musical ideas about diverging materials, I hope I have written diverting music.

Gradations is music of variety of change of progression of growing up even. Mozart’s first keyboard minuets are here as is a pair of Marcello sonatas. A sonatina by Clementi sits alongside 'Kaleidoscope' by Benjamin Lees. Bartók and Bach knew all about children’s keyboard development and are each represented by absolute gems. César Franck’s Doll’s Lament and Kabalevsky’s My stubborn little brother represent more negative childhood emotions but in the main this is music of happiness and fun.

The pieces chosen draw on Boosey &Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.

35 pieces on the quirky side-Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. Lœillet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers such as Mozart’s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod’s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky’s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann Schubert Rameau Jiŕovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them although they are technically straightforward anda joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey & Hawkes.

Dear March, come in!
Dirge in Woods
Going to Heaven!
Heart, we will forget him
I felt a funeral in my brain
I\'ve heard an organ talk sometimes
Laurie\'s Song from The Tender Land
Martin\'s Song from The Tender Land
My Heart Is in the East
Nature, the gentlest mother
Night
Old Poem
Pastorale
Poet\'s Song
Queenie\'s Song from The Second Hurricane
Sleep is supposed to be
The Chariot
The sun is coming up from The Tender Land
The world feels dusty
There came a wind like a bugle
Vocalise
When they come back
Why do they shut me out of Heaven?
