Monologue
(1960) for solo piano
Duration 5'

Premier:  12 December 1960, London
Margaret Kitchin, piano

Publisher:  Chester Music Ltd

Composer's Note:

This short work (duration 5 minutes) was written in 1960 for Margaret Kitchen.
Although the music is rhapsodic in character, it is nevertheless composed over a structural background of variation form. The textures build up gradually though the impetus is momentarily checked when a fugal passage makes its appearance and then quickly leads to the culminating point of the work, a big declamatory climax.
