Edition Schott

Watkins' 'Four Inventions' evolved from the composer's conversations with writer Rhett Griffiths who commissioned the work about his poem "The Sibling Solution". The poem is included with the publication and may be read aloud before the music. Each of the inventions deals with an aspect of the "siblingness" of things with the titles Declamatory, Hesitant, Breathless and Serene. Watkins' 'Four Inventions' were recently broadcast on BBC Radio 3 as part of a portrait concert prior to the world premiere of his Violin Concerto at the 2010 BBC Proms.
An ideal work for aspiring pianists and suitable for both recitals and auditions. Instrumentation : piano
