Florence Hooton (cello)
Ross Pratt (piano)
Richard Arnell's Four Serious Pieces were first performed in February by Florence Hooton and Ross Pratt. In order to secure a good balance between the two instruments the composer has provided a piano part that is light in texture. The pieces are contrapuntal in style and vigorous in mood. H.R.
