I am also fond of lonely islands



I wrote this piece in December, 2021 after reading Tove Jansson's The Summer Book.

Paul Cortese, who has made his career in Spain, studied with my father in the 1970s. What a treat it is to be able to share this recording with my father now!

The playing and sharing of this piece is a reminder to me that from each of our remote islands in time and in space we can still make meaningful musical relationships with one another, as well as with the mysteries and possibilities of the musical phrase.

You can find the music on this page of the IMSLP, and listen by way of YouTube if you want:
