The Vier Romantische Klaviertücke (Four Romantic Piano Pieces) were composed at separate times between 1979 and 1991. They may be performed individually or as a "suite." At one time Ford considered the possibility of grouping them together as a single sonatina, but chose instead to apply that title only to the first piece.
"Feenjagd" ("The Fairy Hunt") is a mercurial rondo animated by the spirit of Mendelssohn. It calls for wide dynamic contrasts and exceptionally fluent delivery for its gossamer visions to achieve their full effect.
