Four Hours to Midnight: the Last Piece of the 20th Century (1999)

For piano - c. 4'

In December 1999 I was visiting my parents in St. Petersburg, Florida (USA) for the Christmas holidays. At 7pm on the 31st December amidst the chaos of the millennium New Year’s Eve preparations I suddenly decided I wanted to write one last piece in the 20th Century. I completed it quickly and played it for our guests four hours before the end of the millennium and the beginning of the 21st Century.
