Musical composition

In setting out the following commentaries, I have tried to focus on the details in each composition which I feel illustrate most clearly my approach to compositional technique. I have also tried to indicate how I perceive the development of that technique from work to work. In terms of general technique, one of my main concerns is to communicate as simply and clearly as possible - though admittedly, sometimes even the simplest reduction of an idea still remains fairly complex in terms of notation. ( I shall say more about notation in the pieces later, in a general conclusion.)
