Possum on the Keys (Piano Duet)

The possum is an Australian native animal. It is a nocturnal animal that has adapted well to city life, being quite happy living in the roofs of houses. This piece is inspired by an experience I had with a baby possum one night, when I woke up to the strings on my grand piano being played. The young possum had 

come down my chimney and was looking for an escape from the rain. It was also fairly unhappy with being placed outside again.
