Finally we escape the tyranny the piano. This one sounds to me like Romanian wedding music (but what do
I know). It came from the usual messing around at the piano but actually popped out in reaction to
something else entirely that I was getting frustrated with. I stopped for a moment, then this little tune
presented itself and I instantly thought of the tuba/horns accompaniment and then tried clarinet for the
melody and the rest took care of itself.
One interesting feature of this piece is that, in addition to being entirely un-quantised (for a hopefully
authentic feel), I have played around with the tempo a little to enhance the dynamic and try to mimic the
way real players might react to different parts of the tune.
