DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of seven parodistic works for piano solo, most of which make great encore pieces. Featured in this set is the Variations on a Theme by Czerny, an eclectic extravaganza consisting of six variations on Czerny’s Etude in E Major, Op. 740, No. 23. This collection also includes short but hilarious parodies on themes from Scriabin’s Piano Sonata No. 5 in F♯ Major, Op. 53 and Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16.
REVIEWS
“[Gray Mass] contains much of interest.... The quality of the work and the extent of the composer’s musical vision are both admirable.”

Also reviewed in Piano & Keyboard, January/February 1999 and in Clavier, July/August 1999
