The Piano Quartet No.1 was written in 1992 and is in one movement. It was commissioned by ICA Live Arts for New MusICA with funds made available by the London Arts Board. While writing it I was reminded of painting where blocks of colour meet or where objects intersect, of the mysteriousness of those moments. The painter Robert Ryman said that whatever is made should delight and have a rightness about it. That was my aim.
