The four movements of Great Smoky Mountains take the listener on a visit to scenic panoramas throughout the national park. The first movement, Great Smoky Mountain Splendor, captures the vibrant colors of the fall foliage with grand gestures that span the range of the keyboard. In Towering Mount Mitchell, the second movement, an expressive legato right-hand melody, with interesting harmonic support in the left hand, captures the summit with its forest and plants. The third movement, Ballad of Cades Cove, is in the key of A minor with melodic interest in both hands and depicts the historic buildings in this green valley. A left-hand ostinato figure in the fourth movement, The Potter's Wheel, represents the turning of the wheel when skilled local craftsmen create ceramic wares.

SEVEN DAYS is a cycle for solo piano in 21 movements, most lasting between three and seven minutes, distributed in the form of a custom app produced by the 92Y and released during their Fall 2021 season. Using the app on their phones, listeners are asked to listen to three movements a day according to an approximate schedule - one movement in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another sometime in the evening - for seven days. The music is performed by Pedja Muzijevic and presented alongside paintings by Gloria Maximo. (Please visit 92Y.org for information on how to download the Seven Days app.) The work is designed as a listening experience that tunes us into the passing of time, connecting us both to the present moment as well as the cycle of the week. The experience invites music to inhabit and structure our everyday - to find us where we are in the world. The morning-afternoonevening schedule is meant to focus participants on the dawn-to-dusk cycle as well as to create a communal listening ritual. It is also an experiment in large-scale form, designed to draw attention to musical material developing across a week-long expanse, interspersed with vast silences. SEVEN DAYS was shaped by a year spent in relative isolation due to the pandemic. While it is a work composed during a time of quarantine, it will be experienced first by an audience in the process of returning to a more normal world. In that sense, it is an artwork born out of a year of relatively cloistered existence that seeks to preserve aspects of that experience as we move forward. The piece was also inspired by the work of Morton Feldman and Chantal Akerman, whose large-scale works consider time, process, and stillness. Their art struck me with a fresh relevance during the silent stretches of the pandemic year 2020. It was also a year in which writings about time, penned by contemplatives like Henry David Thoreau and Thomas Merton, held new weight. All of this in turnresonated with Gloria Maximo's profound paintings, which I've long admired. SEVEN DAYS is an artwork we are invited to do - using music to point our attention to the present moment, the everyday, and the seemingly mundane. It is a piece listeners are also asked to live within as it unfolds over a week rather than to witness it live. The key players here are time and the listener's own surroundings, starring together alongside music and art in a wordless drama. -Gregory Spears.

This set of five short movements is a synthesis of classical, popular, and jazz idioms. The title Wind Songs was chosen to reflect the gentle, ephemeral quality of the music. Pianists should strive for a delicate, non-percussive approach to the music. Originally published in 1991, this 18-minute suite has stood the test of time and can be programmed in its entirety. Students are encouraged to listen to the recording available on Edwin McLean's CD Don't Say Goodbye.Â.

Das Jazz Piano Buch behandelt fundamentale Techniken und fortgeschrittene Spielweisen der Zeitspanne von Bud Powell bis zur Gegenwart. Der Aufbau dieses Buches ist etwas ungewöhnlich. Anstatt alle Voicings in einem Kapitel und den ganzen Theoriekomplex in einem anderen Kapitel zu behandeln, wechseln sich die Themen im Verlauf dieses Buches ab. Einfachere Sachverhalte schreiten zu komplexeren Techniken fort. Musiktheoretische Fragen werden immer anhand von Transkriptionen und Stücken erläutert, die von Jazzmusikern häufig gespielt werden. Die Auswahl reicht von Standards wie Just Friends bis zu Wayne Shorters ungewöhnlicher und wunderschöner Ballade Infant Eyes. Obwohl sich Das Jazz Piano Buch in erster Linie an Pianisten wendet, erleichtern die visuellen Vorteile, die das Piano bietet, allen anderen Instrumentalisten und Vokalisten den Zugang zur Harmonik des Jazz. Es ist jedoch keine Lehnstuhllektüre, sondern ein Buch, das zum Üben und Erforschen am Piano inspiriert. Aus dem Inhalt: Intervalle und Dreiklänge ein Überblick; die Modi der Durskala und die II-V-I Verbindung; dreistimmige Voicings; sus und phrygische Akkorde; das Erweitern von dreistimmigen Voicings; Tritonussubstitution; Left-Hand Voicings; alterierte Töne in Left-Hand Voicings; Skalentheorie; Skalen in der Praxis; So What-Akkorde; Quartenakkorde; Upper Structures; pentatonische Skalen; Voicings; Stride und Bud Powell Voicings; Viertonskalen; Blockakkorde; Salsa und Latin Jazz; Comping; Üben; Hören; eine ausführliche Diskographie.
