A collection of pieces inspired by the wild landscapes of the American Southwest. It depicts the lives of Native Americans, the wilderness and rodeos, deserts and cacti, thrilling chases, and magnificent sunsets. These are themes familiar to people of all generations, even in Japan. The approachable depictions and wild, rustic melodies make them enjoyable to play. While the difficulty is kept to around the level of Burgmüller, it conveys a broad-mindedness that encourages learners to express themselves with bold freedom. Dedicated to Susan Taliaferro Grossman.
