Simply Driven: 5 Virtuoso Pieces (Schott) was published in 2020, and consists of five advanced original compositions for solo piano. Four of the pieces were written for friends and colleagues of the composer, of whom all are pianists and each one has recorded their respective work.
The level of compositions move between Grade 8 and Licentiate Diploma of the British music examination syllabus standards.
There’s a wide selection of styles within this collection including two studies, two ballade-style works, and a theme and set of variations. Simply Driven provides excellent repertoire for a diploma programme.
‘Taken as a whole, this is a marvellous set of pieces as enjoyable to play as they are dazzling to listen to. These five pieces are genuinely satisfying on every level!’
