The talents of pianist Patricia Wasy known as The Mayfair Arrangements are without doubt unquestionable; here on this single she takes on the micro form nature of solo piano, and manifests something so compelling that it leaves you waiting, side by side, with a flavour of great anticipation of what is to come, and all this on her creation entitled Demitasse.

However I had to allow a wry grin to crawl across my face when I researched the title to find out it refers to, a small coffee cup, usually being adorned by the lush taste of an Expresso. The reason for that somewhat of an internal grin was because I have literally just got back from a visit to my favourite coffee shop just before writing this review.

The tone of this manifestation though is quite beautiful and extremely easy to listen to; in fact I am now on a continuous cycle of this solo piano arrangement alone, and one must also add when that is done, a blissful sensation of tranquillity and calm can be found in a presentation that is a fluent classically styled motif.

Demitasse by The Mayfair Arrangements as far as short form solo piano narratives goes, is one of the best I have heard, and without a doubt one of the best 94 seconds I have musically recently spent.
