6 Lyric Impressions for Piano
Beautiful Sounds – Delightful Daydreams
In his expressive Daydreams the German-Brazilian composer Jean Kleeb sets out on a daylong pianistic "dream journey", from the Break of Dawn (Alvorada) to Evening Music (Serenata serena). His lyric, often "weightless", pulsating compositions—originating from a tradition of romantic character pieces and impressionistic mood paintings—are somewhat reminiscent of the delightful sounds of piano ballads in popular and film music. The 6 easy to moderately difficult piano pieces are quite suitable for young musicians in their third or fourth year of instruction, as well as for experienced hobby pianists. Fingerings, pedaling suggestions, and tempo markings ensure that practicing will be a pleasant experience. The bilingual preface offers additional interesting background information and comments.
