Background: The British composer and teacher, Thomas Pitfield, who continued to pursue both his musical and artistic interests until well into his nineties, was largely self-taught in composition. Most of the works in his substantial output are collections of miniatures, many written for children or amateurs.

His larger works include a Sinfonietta and concertos for piano, violin, recorder and percussion. The two Piano Concertos bear many of Pitfield's fingerprints, which include folkish melodies, lush hymn-like harmonisations, and black/white note cascades between alternating hands, as well as hints of Gershwin, Poulenc and Ravel.
