Connections is an engaging collection from The Xpressions Series, designed to explore and refine a wide range of pedal techniques through eleven thoughtfully crafted piano solos. Written for intermediate to late intermediate pianists, this collection highlights the expressive and acoustic possibilities of sustain, resonance, and tonal color.
Throughout the set, the pedals are used intentionally to enhance sound, activate the overtone series, and support intricate combinations of melody and harmony. Pianists encounter varied textures and sonorities that encourage careful listening and refined control, allowing each piece to reveal a distinct palette of tone and resonance across the keyboard.
By treating pedaling as an integral part of musical expression rather than a secondary skill, Connections reinforces the role of the pedals as essential tools in both performance and compositional style. These explorations offer pianists a deeper understanding of how thoughtful pedaling shapes clarity, color, and musical character.
