This soulful piano solo was composed either side of my 16th birthday and remains one of my best compositions. In 1977 I was living as a boy with gender issues and looking ahead to what could have been a bleak future, hence so sad.

The whole piece featured in a seven-minute profile on me broadcast on ABC television in 2004, in the George Negus Tonight (GNT) programme. It showed me playing on my lovely old Thürmer upright piano.

Reminiscent of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and the cavatina used in the 1978 film The Deer Hunter, this beautiful work is in C sharp minor (or C sharp aeolian mode).

The level is about grade five or six.
Duration: 04:20 or 02:30 with cuts indicated.

Also published in an easy arrangement in D minor with no octaves and a simplified accompaniment, about grade three or four.
