The 3 Impromptus by Richard Lane are excellent examples of a composer in full possession of his craft, an accomplished musician capable of writing beautiful music at any level of difficulty.
Lane composed Impromptu I (no specified dedicatee but most likely written for one of his students) in December 1972 at the age of 39.
The Impromptu II is dated June 1977 and was written for Eric Neumann who writes: [...] This Impromptu II written for me was a graduation present. I had studied with Richard Lane for three years, starting with composition. After my piano teacher retired, “Dick agreed to teach me piano to prepare for college auditions. With his support, I was accepted at the Eastman School of Music, his alma mater. The work was written as his impression of my finger dexterity in the fast sections and my contemplative spirit in the slower section.
The Impromptu III was written 9 years later (Oct. 1986) and is dedicated to Dahwei Kuo, most certainly also a Richard Lane student. A light, elegant piece with an impish sense of humor and some technical challenges thrown in for good measure.
The numerous unpublished piano works (including those for 2 pianos or 4 hands) by Richard Lane, composer and pianist, are all marvelous gems to be discovered as we proceed with the exclusive Editions Bim publications planned for the coming years.
