Then Again... was commissioned in 1994 by Warwickshire based pianist Julian Hellaby for a CD of British piano music. At this time I was very preoccupied with unifying my approaches towards harmony, melody and form, and I decided to make all the material for the seven short movements from five simple note groupings that would appear again and again in very different guises.

This was the last of my scores to be handwritten before I invested in Sibelius notation software, and represents the pinnacle of my calligraphy. I decided therefore that the published edition should be a facsimile of the original notation (after the score had been completed I decided to remove the very last chord of the piece).
