Fand Music Press is pleased to announce the publication of something of a milestone: the tenth in the series of piano suites by Peter Thompson. Suite no 10 is a set of five characterful movements, each lasting around a couple of minutes, aimed at competent to advanced pianists. Moods range from the contemplative to the exuberant, but the entire suite is in Thompson’s approachable, energetic and harmonically spicy style. Overall, this is a joyous and entertaining set.
Fand is also privileged to publish the autobiography of composer Frank Bayford. A pharmacist by trade (one of two Fand composers to pursue this profession), the multitalented Mr Bayford is not only an accomplished self-taught composer but also a talented artist, and several of his drawings and watercolours illustrate the book. Dispensing Notes: Stepping-Stones towards an Autobiography is a 100-page volume that tells the compelling story of Frank Bayford’s Enfield-based life and music.
