Some of the pieces do make considerable musical and technical demands on the player, but none require a \"virtuosic\" technique for performance. May they take their place among their musical ancestors from Byrd to Bartók, in a piano repertoire rich with such short works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has seemed to me that the three Ceremonies, which form an imaginative and harmonic structural framework to the whole collection, also stand very well on their own as a smaller group. They explore some of the simpler aspects of the alternating scale, forming their own loosely connected pianistic world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44517346476111,"sku":"ACA-SILS-041","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a6abb4d5ba97e631cdd777fdad07e8c1.webp?v=1780121616","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/silsbee-3-ceremonies-aca","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
