Graham Hair - Graham Hair: Rococo Fantasies - Book 1 (Score for Piano)

Rococo Fantasies is a set of 11 bagatelles. Each moves from one tone-centre to another: often via 'chromatic mediant' harmony (a major or minor third above or below the tone-centre). Book One contains 6 of them. They endeavour to create a variety of idiosyncratic rhetorical characters by swerving between multiple metrical, thematic and textural ideas rapidly in the course of a few measures in some of the pieces, but beavering away at just one or two (over rapidly modulating harmonic changes) in others.
