These twenty easy piano pieces were written to accompany a television programme which celebrated 150 years of photography. The volume contains eight Preludes, two Songs, a set of Variations, eight
Interludes, and a Postlude.
- 'Skempton's harmony is nothing if not explicit, and precise, and he wrings maximum effect from a pared minimum of matter. This music is Irreduciblist. The pieces contain nothing they do not
need, and nothing could be subtracted without loss. There's no rhetoric, no bravura display, no smokescreen of Postmodern irony, no false naivety. Skempton composes essences, and they go straight to
the heart.' Tempo
The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
