Oh, the thrills and spills of taking a new car for a spin! Watch out for the seemingly harmless middle section, which is probably the trickiest part due to all the ties - you need to be really sure which notes to hold and which to change. Safe driving!

Oh dear. Mozart was, by all accounts, quite a character. But I still can't imagine him being very impressed with this piece. The left hand uses an Alberti bass, beloved of classical composers.

I was sent a video of Lawrence playing Tip-Tap Toes, and was struck by how quickly his fingers moved over the keys. This piece is for him - but he won't mind if other people play it too!

I wrote today's piece after a very chilly dog walk. I should really wear gloves, but I do find it hard to pick up Harvey's little 'gifts' wearing gloves.

The Ice Queen in Narnia was too nasty to dance. I have in mind a much friendlier, graceful Ice Queen, who is perhaps just a little bit nasty at times, brought on by living in the extreme cold all year round, which perhaps we could forgive her for.

A chilled-out piece for a lazy morning, when the sun is streaming in through the windows and you've got a fresh coffee by your side. Bliss!

I wrote this late at night on a very warm evening. Think double bass, snare drum played with brushes, smoke-filled jazz club (yuk!) and you get the idea I'm aiming for!

It's raining today here in Sussex, as it was when I wrote this piece. The right hand remains in the middle of the texture, while the left hand arcs across the top alternating from low to high.

This atmospheric piece is unusual in that the player must keep the sustain pedal depressed throughout. The right hand must remain soft, which is a good challenge.
