American Impressions

This collection was inspired by the sheer beauty of the American landscape and the ongoing pioneer spirit which continues to shape our great nation. The vivid sound images in each piece keep a pedagogical purpose always at hand, with the pianistic challenges providing practical techniques to prepare the late-intermediate to early-advanced pianist for the masterworks of Debussy, Ravel, Griffes and Copland. Perfect material for recitals, these pieces are three to six pages in length.  Six solos are included: Midnight Skiing; On the Horizon; Sea Breeze; Soaring; Spirit of the West and Wilderness Morning.
