The first two of these three pieces were composed in the 1980s to honour the first and second birthdays of Julie, the daughter of the composer’s friend David Ruddock, the concert pianist. The Seaside Donkey was a birthday celebration piece composed earlier for the composer’s own daughter, and was added to compete the Birthday Suite.

Piano Piece 1 is constructed using the “12 note fixed-register” technique. The notes are grouped relatively closely around the centre of the keyboard to create 3 different transpositions of the melodic motif which creates a modulating effect. Piano Piece 2 is constructed using rhythmic groupings of 6 or 12 notes with some cross-rhythmic elements. Piano Piece 3 is written around the idea of harmonic resonance. Piano Piece 4 makes use of modes of limited transposition, in this case the recurring tone/semitone/tone/semitone etc pattern derived from the last chord of Piano Piece 1.

‘Four Short Pieces’ were commissioned for Allen’s Australian Bicentennial Anthology of piano music, published in 1988 and now long out of print. The details of the first performance are unknown; the first performance I heard was by Anna Klymashivka in Sydney in 1996. The pieces perhaps suggest nature images, but the only one that was a reaction to something specific is the last, which was suggested by watching and hearing a beck in spate (or flooded stream) on the west coast of Scotland

Interlude for Piano is written in a pointillistic melodic style first used in the previous work for piano, Diffractions for Piano & Chamber Orchestra. Interludes is a brief, freely evolving abstract piece with a somewhat improvisational feel to it, and is concerned with splashes of harmonic colour across the keyboard in the context of sinuous angular melodic fragments, hence the suggestion of the pointillistic aspect to the work.

It was written for the IRMT conference in Nelson in January 1988 and the piece was given its first performance by Mark Secker at the Nelson School of Music.
