 Seasonal Moments is a collection of 4 original piano pieces at the late intermediate level by Donna Gross Javel. They are especially well suited for teenagers and adult students. They are melodic and use challenging rhythms. The key signatures used are G minor, G major, and D minor. Seasonal Moments is an AnythingPiano publication and is part of the Kaleidoscope Konzert Series. Score Review of Seasonal Moments "Seasonal Moments is for more advanced students at grades 3-5 level. There is a piece for each season. Winter has Evening Snowfall, a pretty flowing piece with several tempo changes; Spring is about Green Open Spaces, dreamy and expressive, whilst Summer is a Fire Dance, exciting with asymmetric rhythmic patterns. Finally, Autumn, Ambling Along, brings to mind walks among newly fallen leaves. Tricky rhythms mean there are a lot of semiquavers to be counted here. The music, modern without being jazzy and with a slightly New Age tinge to it, is certain to have a lot of appeal for students." •AF, review from the EPTA Piano Journal, Issue 88 2009, European Piano Teachers' Association Score Review of Seasonal Moments "Seasonal Moments, a collection of four late intermediate compositions showcasing the seasons, reveals thoughtfully crafted works that challenge students to improve their musicality via increasingly difficult technical requirements.
