Cityscapes

Cityscapes is Book 2 of 5 in a series of original piano pieces, the others being Seascapes, Dreamscapes, Nightscapes and Soundscapes. The music itself draws from a broad range of styles and is targeted to stimulate that most important region of the head - the ears.

While the technical and musical expectations obviously increase across the books (Grade 1 to 8+) the emphasis is always on getting the most from the piano as a sounding instrument. Cityscapes captures the vivid intensity and turmoil of city life.
