Work introduction

“Rebus parallels the idea of a visual riddle with a teasing play on note patterns, rhythms and harmonies” (Matthew Rye, The Telegraph)

“Rebus was like an eviscerated version of Ravel's ‘La Valse’, constantly teasing us with fragments in dance rhythm.” (Paul Driver, The Sunday Times)
