SUMMARY:Piano Spheres: Playing to the Left, Mark Robson
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-four Preludes for the Left Hand" honors a venerable tradition created by composers that included Bach\, Chopin\, Scriabin and Shostakovich\, who each wrote suites of short pieces in each of the major and minor keys.  This collection is unique in that the preludes are composed for one hand only\, which situates it as well within the specialized current of repertoire devoted to the left hand.  Discover a whole world of emotions as familiar tonalities and keys are revisited to yield their individual colors and characters.  The work was written for and dedicated to pianist/author Christopher Brennan\, who at the time of the work's inception in 1989 was suffering from a stress injury to his right arm that prevented him from extended performance of two-handed repertoire.  What began as a few pieces to assist a friend to pass the time during recovery turned into a full-blown journey in all the keys in which the composer's biography and musical affinities became intertwined with the challenges--real and symbolic--of performing with only five fingers.
