Howard Skempton
PLAIN SAILING
for piano duet
Oxford Contemporary Repertoire Series

Beautifully crafted, this short work for 4 hands conjures up precisely the imagery the title suggests. Calm, lilting, melodic, but requiring technical skill, it would be a welcome addition to the piano duet repertoire. Despite its apparent tonality, the harmony offers the odd pleasant surprise as one would expect of Skempton's imitable style.
