Tribute to the Masters: Six Original Pieces Inspired by Timeless Composers.(Book review)
Tribute to the Masters: Six Original Pieces Inspired by Timeless Composers, by Alexander Peskanov, published by The Willis Music Company (P.O. Box 548, Florence, KY 41022), 2006. 23 pp. $6.95. Intermediate to Late Intermediate.
Alexander Peskanov writes beautifully in a wide variety of styles and moods; the pieces range from lyrical to upbeat to dynamic and impassioned. Each piece is full of interesting musical ideas and harmonies.
