The composition is full of colour, rhythmically intriguing, surprisingly melodic in places (particularly in the Andante con Moto section) and interest is maintained throughout. Alan Jones, Publishing Manager, ABRSM, September 1992 Florid, dream-like material contrasts with more rigidly organised passages and slower moving chordal progressions in a highly effective evocation of the darkness, rather than the romance, of night.
