Ice Crystals, Solo
Ice Crystals paints a shimmering winter soundscape that invites players into an imaginative musical moment. Written with expressive nuance and evocative color, this early intermediate solo uses the una corda (soft) pedal in a meaningful way — something many students don’t encounter until later — to create a subtle, whispery tone perfect for evoking crisp air, glittering snow, and frost-covered trees. The piece was commissioned for a pedal-technique collection and has been highlighted by teachers and performers for its irresistible atmosphere and musical storytelling qualities.
"This piece is beautiful and well-crafted pedagogically. I’ve been using it with an adult student with great success. He likes that’s he’s finally getting to use his una corda pedal and enjoying the challenge of moving around the keyboard. It’s a great piece to teach important concepts and reflect on the frigid Ohio winter temperatures!" ~William P
Key Info
• Key: E Natural Minor / expressive modal colors
• Level: Early Intermediate
• Character: Impressionistic, lyrical, atmospheric

Castle of Intrigue, Duet
Castle of Intrigue unfolds as a three-part musical saga inspired by Medieval adventure and mystery. The duet begins with The Chase Is On—fast and intense—with the melodic spotlight on Secondo while Primo anchors the energy through driving triplet ostinatos.

The final section, Night Flight, brings the journey to a bold and dramatic close, delivering a powerful ending worthy of an epic Medieval tale.
