Composition
[edit]Dangerfield has said he considers himself "primarily a composer",[4] and he has published compositions for piano as well as for ensembles.[3][5] A review of Duo XXI's record, Quest, described his piece Nomina sunt omina as commanding and inspired by ritual.[3] A review in Fanfare of one of his earlier compositions noted the inspiration of his mentor, David Gompper.[6]
