Aphorisms is a set of very short pieces for two guitars, most of which only last a few seconds. Each of the 15 pieces is based on a familiar aphorism. The performers can choose to play as many or as few of them as they like, and they can be performed in any order. However, Eat, drink, and be merry makes a good finale. In concert, the pieces could be spread across a whole programme in groups of twos or threes, either between pieces or between movements within a piece. One of the performers should announce the title before each aphorism is played.
