Melody Bober: America, the Beautiful

Beskrivning

A lovely tribute to the United States, this poignant solo contains somber elements, such as the Gregorian chant-like open fifths of the introduction and coda, but it also features moments of hope and great beauty. America, the Beautiful includes colorful harmonies, a singing right-hand melody, rubato playing, legato pedaling, a wide range of dynamics, cross-hand arpeggios, and right-hand and left-hand octave playing.
