Nocturne Payen (1996) 6’30’’
classical guitar
first performance: Maxim Slock, Rhoon / NL, spring 1997
A very early work, spontaneously written for a guitarist who had stopped playing when I delivered the piece a few weeks later.
The first of several occasions when the people who wanted the piece all of a sudden evaporated into thin air. I don't do that anymore.
(the fine art of handwriting had yet to be learned. I found out later that using a ruler does wonders.)
