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 seco nd 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. Show more
