"Farewell to Stromness is an excellent piece, simple in its effect, yet deceptively difficult to play properly. It has a good chance of becoming a sort of Scottish National Anthem with the coverage it gets on Radio. That's fine by me, as it would get rid of Flower of Scotland and Highland Cathedral for good and all! This edition is so good that someone appears to have "borrowed" mine for an indefinite period.

Yesnaby Ground is a great challenge to play: a lovely piece, but extremely inticate and complex. I haven't managed to come anywhere near it yet, but I live in hope."
