Three Dance Portraits Piano Solo Publisher: Edward B. Marks Music Company Composer: William Bolcom Composer, pianist, and author William Bolcom has these comments to make regarding his new Dance Portraits: “These three dance-pieces are portraits of friends who are each wonderful pianists but are perhaps better known for something else in music. Dennis Russell Davies is a renowned conductor; Curtis Curtis-Smith is an extremely talented composer; Abba Bogin is a highly successful conductor and commercial musician. Such vernacular styles as soft-shoe and Argentine and Brazilian tango are found in these works. The Dead Moth Tango got its title from a moth I killed inadvertently; Knock-Stück features, as well as knocking sounds, a particular type of syncopation found often in Curtis-Smith's compositions; Abbacadabra celebrates the volubility all of Abba Bogin's friends will recognize.” Inventory # HL00009642 ISBN: 9780793509690 UPC: 073999096422 Series: Piano Solo Width: 9.0" Length: 12.0" 24 pages Abbacadabra The Dead Moth Tango Knock-Stuck
