New Horizons, Solo

New Horizons is a dramatic, hopeful solo with that “Moonlight-style” intensity — but with a brighter sense of possibility. A singing left-hand melody floats above a right-hand triplet ostinato, making this a rewarding piece for players who love expressive sound and cinematic storytelling.
