2 Waltzes and a Nocturne
2 Waltzes and a Nocturne is my first entry in the Modern Classics Collection (Romantic Series). Each piece employs techniques of the era to embody an emotionally significant event of my life. As such, each is unique and can be performed on their own or with other similar or contrasting pieces. However, when all three are played in sequence they function as a single multimovement work that is, in effect, a musical portrait of myself and of the events that shaped me.

GENERAL NOTES ON STYLE: All should be played using the same basic guidelines you employ when performing a similar work written during the Romantic era with 2 major exceptions. If any idiomatic choice, no matter how academically revered, interferes with the performer's musical expression of the piece in an objectively significant way, or makes the piece less accessible for the modern audience; that choice should be disregarded.
