Inspired by the moment in Beckett's Waiting for Godot when the hitherto silent character Lucky suddenly pours forth the torrential stream of gibberish, this is a two-minute piece for unaccompanied violin, almost in the style of a cadenza. Written in 2006 for the violinist Darragh Morgan, it has plenty to challenge any advanced violinist; quick leaps abound, as do sudden harmonics, arabesques, fourths, sixths, and some near impossible stretches in pizzicato. Is it worth all the hard work? I would have to say yes: while it is intentionally disjointed, this is a very structured and calculated stream of gibberish that has variety and much that sounds brilliantly resonant on the violin.

Young people should be encouraged to try contemporary music, not just for competitions, but to develop their ear, challenge their rhythmic sense and extend their geography of the instrument… The brevity of this piece makes it especially attractive, as well as its reasonable price …Highly recommended.
