John Barton Armstrong’s Pinecroft Suite for piano solo was found amongst the composer’s papers after his death in 2010. It is an affectionate tribute to a family he used to visit regularly at a house called Pinecroft in East Horsley, and dates from around 1964. Each of its six short movements is a miniature musical sketch: one for each family member. The pieces vary in difficulty (number 4, Barnes’ Invention, being significantly more difficult than the others), but overall should suit a pianist of around Grade 6 standard.
