Programme Notes

I called this single-movement piano quintet Fantasia because it doesn’t follow a strict formal structure and contains little structural repetition or recapitulation. The central section is generally slower than the rest and is followed by a presto finale, but otherwise related motifs tend to flow one from the other organically through the course of the work. It is ‘pure’ music that uses no external imagery, allusion, narrative or poetry.

Reviews

‘…another find, Vine’s disparate ideas knitted with rare skill into a 15-minute movement… new music which deserves to become standard repertoire.’
