Journeying around the Black Sea by ship, with a new port every day, each town was so very different in character & provided its own adventure. Sketches were written daily to capture the various moods and feel of the cities.
Reflecting back on memories, sketches were developed to form a suite of short movements. Each is a snapshot of the town's atmosphere, only experienced for a few hours before setting sail again.
