Farewell to Stromness
Head on over to "On An Overgrown Path" to check out Pliable's recent post on Peter Mawell Davies. I share Pliable's guilty delight in Davies "Farewll to Stromness". It's perhaps the most unassuming, elegant, and moving short pieces of piano music ever penned. There is a link to an audio excerpt on Pliable's site if you'd like a listen. Better, I recommend my favorite recording of it (and other gems): Christopher Riley's CD "At the Break".

Beautifully put Bart, I wish I could have come up with those words myself.
Thanks for your insights, and have a great Christmas
Pliable
