for solo piano
Featuring sparse textures, quirky endings, and intuitive phrasing, these 24 Preludes and Fugues, in all the keys, bear the hallmarks of Skempton's Minimalist style. This set is well-suited for performance but also for pianists wishing to practise polyphonic textures and single-hand exercises.
