Encounter: a fantasia on the musical elements taken from the names of four great composers- consecutively: De Lange, Bach, Scarlatti and Faure - who might be greatly astonished to find themselves together!
Greeting: This duo is based likewise on the note contained in the name of the dedicatee: CCHASCH, alternating with brief themes friends have somehow passed onto me - even in their wills!
Solace: This piece is not a composition of my own, but a transcription on the fifth section of Brahms' German Requiem.
