(Sunstreams and Hypnosis) While Chair of BFS, I awarded a Floscar to Ian, whose works have done more than anyone else’s to encourage students to continue learning in adolescence. I never get tired of teaching these two. Set for Grades 7 and 8, they do well at competitions.

Composer's Notes

"Dreamy and improvisatory in style with powerful expressive climaxes to the 1st and 2nd half of the work. It’s range is to top C or D (three advanced options take the level of difficulty up). No advanced techniques are used. Like many of Ian’s pieces Hypnosis has been used for auditions, music festivals, recital certificate, A level recitals and degree recitals." - Ian Clarke

This piece does not require open holes or B footjoint.
