Abstract

"Six Miniatures for Violin and Pianowas composed in 1977 and premiered during the 1978 Adelaide Festival of Arts. In 1984 it was selected by the Australian Music Centre for an exhibition of work by Australian composers at the Asia and Pacific Festival and Composers' Conference in Wellington, New Zealand. The work has been widely performed, and has been broadcast by the ABC. In 1987 it was choreographed by Julia Blaikie for the Dance Network of South Australia. The work is in a free atonal style, and based on three pitch 'cells'. All the material in the composition is derived from these cells, and this gives the work internal unity. Externally, the six pieces are contrasted. No.4 features a short cadenza for piano, and No.5 a short cadenza for violin." -- Malcolm Fox
