Charles Ives originally wrote his Variations on "America" for organ. In 1968, it was transcribed for full orchestra by William Schuman. Now, we have a brilliant arrangement by Lowell Liebermann for piano solo. This seven minute work, in the form of theme and variations, is fulfilling to hear and loads of fun to play. Lowell Liebermann's arranging is highly pianistic as the notes fit nicely under the fingers. This is a definite crowd-pleaser, making it the perfect close to a recital, or encore.
