Programme Note

Note:
In an extensive — and at times humourous and eloquent — foreword, the composer tells the story of his journey from humble piano lessons to masterpieces and an unfathomable influence. A selection of facsimiles of Riley's handwritten scores is included.

The pianist Sarah Cahill provides introductory performance notes for each piece.
