Sketches in Color

Fourteen outstanding solo piano pieces full of beauty, color and excitement are included in Sketches of Color. Some pieces are tender and sweet, others are full of energy and dissonance, and each utilizes typical 20th century performance techniques. The fourteen pieces are divided into two sets of seven. Set Two is more demanding on the pianist and incorporates tone clusters, polytonality and unsymmetrical rhythms. Titles in Set One are: Purple; Shades of Blue; Black and White; Bright Orange; Grey; Pink and Crimson. Titles in Set Two are: Maroon; Aluminum; Silver and Gold; Khaki; Pepper and Salt; Aquamarine and Chrome Yellow.
