The titles of the pieces come from the first lines of two different poems that I composed around the same time as these works. The first piece, played with great freedom, alternates between impulsive gestures and longer, flowing lines of thought. The second movement, in a kind of nostalgic three part form, begins like a contemporary Sarabande before launching into a jolting, driving section. It returns to the opening affect, but ends with some traces of disquiet.
