Four Cat-like Moods for Double Bass and Piano - This four movement work is programmatic. The first movement, "Contemplation" reflects a cat intently staring out the window and uses recurring motives and even phrasing and dynamics. "Contentment" uses a half note motive to represent purring and lyricism to reflect serenity. "Frivolity" uses a step-wise sixteenth note motive and staccato passages to give the movement a playful quality. "Wariness" uses glissandi and ponticello to reflect cats upset at each other.
