Not too folksy
Following ‘Take Two’ for two guitars, premiered last year, is this new trio ‘Fauxsong’ for guitar, violin and ‘cello. It will have its first performance in March 2020. A rather melancholy melody gets the treatment.
Contra
Just written ‘Contra’: six minutes of powerful contrasts for piano quintet!
