Steven Graff - John Carbon: Short Stories for Piano

Short Stories is a suite of 24 evocative piano pieces of widely varied moods. These tales for piano take the player and listener through imaginative har-monic and contrapuntal explorations, each reflecting its characterful title and projecting a vivid mental image. Icarus, a virtuoso single-movement work, evokes the Greek myth in a dazzling -- yet ultimately tragic --flight across the piano keyboard.
