Description
This is a witty and sometimes humorous composition depicting the composer’s visit to New York City. It is only moderately challenging and ascends only to Ab4. The music is quite varied but always tonal, including blues, Latin and swing styles. One example of the composer’s humor: The “Lost Key Episode” refers as much to the music as to an actual event.
