I adore the warm timbre that emanates from a big band playing at its most subdued. Walkin' Tiptoe, for example, really comes into its own right when the wind section plays so softly that the muted trumpet rises above it without extra amplification. My very first compositions all met one basic demand: they must not be too hard, since I wanted to perform them myself. My technique gradually improved and with it my writing. This piece owes its very existence to my limited skills as a pianist. The left hand is so simple that I was able to fully concentrate on the right-hand melody: at last I could play a piece of piano music all by myself.
