March 2012. Two volumes of 24 Preludes and Fugues are now finished. The first edition of Book 1 appearedin 2006. As can be seen from the dates, some of thepieces go back as far as the 1980s, others were writtenas part of a MMus submission in 1995. The remainderwere written in the summer of 2006 because acollection of 24 Preludes and Fugues seemed like agood idea and a worthy accomplishment.

I began Book 2 in the late summer of 2006, intendingthis time to write a piece in all the major and minorkeys. Several are, indeed, based in a key, though myfree diatonic style quickly reasserted itself and themajority do not adhere to the original scheme. Onepiece was written for a university interview atBirmingham University in 1973 (finished off a fewweeks ago). Another was written a few days after mymarriage to Anne. The vast majority were written in thelast few months. I borrowed a set of pieces ( An Advent Calendar ) that I wrote for Anne to kick-start

the project so that I could have a 48

before mybirthday.

Rashly, Anne said Why dont you write a Book 3 ? ThisI have started. I am unsure whether it will ever befinished. The 72 seems rather boastful. But whoknows?

On revisiting Book 1 , I must admit I still find some ofthe pieces rather beautiful. I honestly believe that, ifthat is the case, it is certainly not down to Peter

Dobbing, a challenged and not very skilful practitioner.

These two books are dedicated to Anne, my lifelongpartner, who, I am so pleased to say, is rediscoveringthe joys making music and of playing the piano(between the dog walks, of course!). God bless, Annie!
