Three Piece for flute & piano:
- Hypnosis
- Spiral Lament
- The Mad Hatter
Hypnosis
Hypnosis began life as a structured improvisation in live performances between 1986 and 1988. This piece was later developed by Ian Clarke into a work for flute and piano (in 1994).
Aimed at advanced players, this piece does not require the player to use extended techniques, open holes or a B Foot-joint. Clarke gives alternative options in the score for ossia alternatives to the more difficult runs as well as octave range options. The score does however extend to top C/D.
This work is dreamy and lyrical in style.

Spiral Lament
It uses techniques unfamiliar to both the intermediate and advanced players, providing an approachable and achievable challenge for both. There are exercises to give a simple approach to the attractive and exotic world of quarter-note grace notes featured in the piece. First published in 2004.
‘The Mad Hatter’
Quick and playful throughout, making extensive use of whole tone, chromatic and diminished scales. Â No extended techniques, open holes or B foots are required. Â The piano part is of moderate difficulty. Â This piece requires a good conventional technique with clean accurate fingerwork and a real sense of rhythm and fun
