A revision I have made today, of my atonal piano composition "The Imp". You can download a copy of the score from my ScoreExchange page here: https://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/the-imp-667446.html                      Thanks for your interest. 🙂

The Imp [2018, revised 2025]

I am a British composer, who has studied composition privately with British composer Peter Nickol https://www.impulse-music.co.uk/peternickol/ (although I am largely self-taught). I have also studied piano (privately) with concert pianist Ekaterina Shetliffe. 
My music contains elements of impressionism, and musical modernism; I have also explored 12-tone composition. Recently, my focus has been on learning quartal harmony!

Composers who have influenced me include Schumann, Chopin, Schoenberg, and Ligeti; however my formative musical inspiration is the music of Debussy.
