We often associate specific feelings with a place or scene, and revisiting those visual images in our memory helps connect us to the feelings they brought about. Using imagery to paint aural pictures also encourages pianists to perform artistically. The moods of the pieces in this collection are varied, including a toccata, as well as Romantic, Impressionistic, jazz, and ragtime styles. Keys: C Major, D Major, F Major, G Minor. 6 Solos: Carnival Rag * Cathedral Echoes (Harp Song) * Late-Night Jazz * Nocturne * Reverie * Westward Journey.
