About the Score

Sweet & Twenty was originally scored for solo guitar, here rewritten for piano. It was premiered alongside Leoš Janáček’s “Dobrou noc!” [Good Night!] from On an Overgrown Path. The two works have some commonalities that will be obvious to the listener, as Sweet & Twenty quotes from Janáček’s quite clearly. There are other commonalities that may not be so clear. Sweet & Twenty also subtly references Janáček’s second string quartet, Intimate Letters, which is a passionate musical plea to a much younger woman. Sweet & Twenty is a reference to Feste’s song O Mistress Mine from Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
