After a hardly successful day of composing yesterday I was not so confident about my piano duet anymore.
Yesterday we had a masterclass with Julian Phillips where we went through the pieces/drafts everyone had made so far. And what a brilliant session this turned out to be. Both Julian and my fellow students shared some good supportive comments wich helped me in finishing the structure of the piece wich was it´s main problem.
I had too many melodies and ideas going on for such a small piece to work. I would had needed much more time to work out, evolve and integrate them all.
So in a 3 hour session this morning at Guildhall´s library I took away about a 1/3 of the piece and stretched the other 2/3 out into it´s final length. Regarding the title, only one thing came to mind really when I thought about it. The very fitting: "One week".
So, I managed to hand it in before the deadline today and I´m sure it will sound good in the hands of Mishka (my pianist).
The premiere will be at Guildhall, School of Music and Drama this Friday (September 30th) at 17:00. Entrance is free and all are welcome.

All the best
