What brings these pieces together, of course, is that they are all written for a pianist using only one hand. Within this limitation the pieces span a range of styles, musical languages, and difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first five pieces are drawn from two larger works. Ellis B. Kohs' Ten Two-Voice Inventions provides four pieces - two for left hand, two for right hand - and Halsey Stevens' for the Left Hand Alone is drawn from his Seventeen Piano Pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivian Fine's The Flicker and Lionel Nowak's Practice Piece, both for the right hand, and Leon Stein's Toccata No. 3, for the left, are tour-de-forces of technical fireworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtto Luening's Right Hand Path and Sydney Hodkinson's Minnie-Rag offer specific challenges for the single hand, requiring large leaps and consistent rhythmic drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEllis B. Kohs' substantial recital work, the Etude-Variations (on a theme of Brahms), offers a thick and enticing harmonic language, and Samuel Wellman's Eight Waltzes close the anthology as attractive, easier offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"American Composers Alliance (ACA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41905760960591,"sku":"ACA-ANTH-017","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/045e6079c409cecd241efaed703dcbf0.webp?v=1780074442","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/one-hand-at-a-time-aca","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
