Nostalgic Pieces

Nostalgic Pieces

Piano

Composer's Note:

This is a light hearted pair of pieces in opposing styles. The first is a songful and tender waltz in C, which presents two themes that are then combined. The second is a relentless, angular boogie-woogie that, although tonally grounded, is full of surprising twists and turns, including a passage in which the sostenuto pedal sustains a major triad, while fragments of the Boogie appear drily in various registers. The two pieces balance each other, but can be played separately. Each could work as an encore.

Movements: 1. Waltz 2. Boogie-Woogie
