Programme Note

This work is quite playable but spectacular and virtuoso in effect. The second movement (Toccata) is available on the Canterbury Composers CD. It has also been performed and broadcast by the NZ String Quartet. At its premiere performance (in 1993) the complete 4-movement work was recognised by the reviewer as a “major NZ work”.

Difficulty:

Advanced
