Description:

Traces the history of piano music in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries. A tribute album to American composers, the result of the insatiable quest of Italian veteran Giancarlo Simonacci, who is still remembered for his fine performance of Montpauw's "Secret Music"! A kaleidoscope of styles and genres, starting with Heinrich, a full-fledged full-time American composer of the 19th century before the Civil War, tracing the path of Beach, Cowell, and Copland, and ending with the modern giants of Cage, Bernstein, and Feldman, and ending with Glass. It is a rich tapestry of American piano music from the 19th century to the 20th century and just before the 21st century. Tokyo M-Plus
