Alfred Suite Detroit: Sounds of an American City Late Intermediate

Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Suite Detroit: Sounds of an American City brings a three-movement jazz-styled work to late-intermediate solo piano. The opening begins lyrically before turning faster and more improvisatory with swing feel; the middle movement slows into a singing romantic melody; and the finale maintains syncopated accompaniment throughout. It is a self-contained solo arrangement of a work originally written for flute, alto saxophone, and piano, giving one pianist a varied three-part program.
