From the Publisher

Written over a one month period in 2022, each ‘vignette’ for piano lasts about a minute. I set myself the challenge of writing, if I could, a short piece each day. A few of the works were whimsical and written just for fun, others were ‘studies’ written to challenge myself at the piano. The pieces have all been written following a similar style. Each day I finished a work and via the wonders of modern technology, I also sent them to my Mum to try! I have included ten of the pieces in this collection. RN

1 – 7:52. I started writing this piece at 7:52 on the 15th February 2022

2 – Étude. I wanted te challenge of playing a piece with constantly shifting time signatures.

3 – Reflections. This one took two days…I wrote it on the 1st and reflected on it on the 2nd.

4 – Ditty. This is just something a bit daft.

5 – Gently Odd. It was the 17th, but a gentle day.

6 – Étude #2. This piece challenges the performer to play the piano with one hand (it says the ‘right hand’ but you could try either.

7 – Friday. It felt like a Friday and it was Friday…

8 – Trailway. This location is a wonderful place where I walk (and think ) a great deal.

9 – Sunday Thoughts on Monday. This was me not wanting to start the week.

10 – молитва – molytva (prayer). Having worked (remotely) to help support an annual children’s composing competition in Ukraine for the last three years, the news of the invasion left me without words.

Difficulty guide: 4-6
Difficulty level, roughly compared to ABRSM exam grades. 0 is total beginner, 9 is advanced (beyond grade 8).
