In this gravely beautiful piece Byrd conveys the essence of the Pavana in 16 measures. It is the shortest of all Pavanas. A masterpiece of concision by one of the earliest masters of keyboard music.
Paul! thanks. Such concision. Truly" less is more. Byrd is a marvel. This piece is often in the Albums of short piano pieces but i never see any of his others! .Thanks for listening and writing. Nigel \
