These are pieces to stimulate the musical imagination with such titles as Snake Sneaking and Jungle River Flowing. They are also studies for dynamic balance between the hands, soft tone production, finger-pedal (sustaining tones with fingers instead of with pedal), and more. Jon George's illustrations add to the attractiveness.

  • Gazelle Prancing (Slur, Rapid changes in hand position, Projecting a feeling of movement and gaiety)
