Gramercy Square

Gramercy Square is a beautiful collection of intermediate level pieces in a lyrical style, with strong, memorable melodies and simple left hand accompaniments. The music is an atmospheric look at the sights, sounds and memories produced by urban life in and around a New York landmark. This is music shaped and propelled by the melodic impulse and will be very satisfying for young pianists to play. The book's pieces are titled Come October, Gramercy Square, Letter from Home, Public Transportation, Sand Pebble, Secrets and Summer's End.
