Description

This Reverie was written over quite a lengthy period and was regularly refined into its present and final form. The aim of the piece is to create a mostly restful mood but with short, lively outbursts, as if one’s dreaming has been interrupted by a sudden thought.

There are two main legato melodies, each of which is subject to some development, while the livelier sections feature much more explosive phrases and also offer clear dynamic contrast. It would also practical as either a GCSE or GCE submission as well as a Concert item.
