| First performance | | 19 October 1991 | Venue | | Little Missenden Festival | Orchestra / Ensemble | | Brindisi String Quartet | Review | | Anthony Bye, Tempo, December 1991 | | | Two fast movements, the first quite sparse in texture, the last vibrant and optimistic, surround a slow movement in which an unashamedly tonal elegy in memory of the art critic Peter Fuller alternates with more chromatic music of great emotional intensity. A work which deserves to enter the repertoire.
