Work Overview

From late 2005, there was a new and important influence in my writing; the completion of my studies with Lawrence Whiffin (1931-2012), the late Australian composer. Laurie was a student of the composer and conductor, René Leibowitz, who was himself a student of the composer and teacher, Arnold Schoenberg. On completing my studies, I wrote several pieces that reflected the styles and techniques from the 20th century that I had learnt from him.

The first of these was Three short pieces for piano, a set of three miniatures that are a homage to the Second Viennese School. The second was a much larger work, the Piano Sonata No.1 (2006, revised 2011), which is published separately by the Australian Music Centre.
