I was asked awhile ago to write a composition that not only laid well under the hands but was also of intermediate/advanced student level difficulty and suitable for concert performances. My initial thought was, 'impossible.' However, after careful consideration, I finally decided that it could be done.

Very few teachers and performers of keyboard instruments realize that C major is the most difficult key to play. In fact, the more of the five 'black' keys employed, the easier the composition. This is due to the natural position of the hand and length of the fingers. In the end, the key of E-flat major with its relative minor of C-minor was chosen with a brief foray into the realm of E-flat minor. The end result was this effervescent and intoxicating waltz.

Once mastered, this composition nearly plays itself and can then be utilized as a show-stopping encore.

Solo Piano

SKU: IG.PFF212

Composed by Kenneth Piotrowski. Score. Imagine Music Publishing #PFF212. Published by Imagine Music Publishing (IG.PFF212).

9 x 12 inches.

As with my other woodwind quartets (The Last Rose of Summer & Flow Gently, Sweet Afton) each instrument is given time to shine.

This particular piece is geared only for the most advanced students and professionals. Pay close attention to the tempi, dynamics, ritardando, and accelerando markings.

This composition makes an excellent concert filler as well as a remarkable encore.

Piano Solo

SKU: IG.PFW211

Composed by Kenneth Piotrowski. Score. Imagine Music Publishing #PFW211. Published by Imagine Music Publishing (IG.PFW211).

9 x 12 inches.

This etude is designed for solid intermediate and advanced students to strengthen the inner thumb and index fingers of each hand. Until the final few measures, no pedal is to be used. In order to keep the piece smooth, the performer must move with extreme swiftness and with total confidence as there are many wide-leaping intervals. Additionally, it is important to alter neither the dynamic level nor the tempo until the ritard. Once mastered, this piece makes a wonderful, if slightly creepy, encore solo.
