press quotes
Four Bits for Piano
"Impressionistic and jazzy,
the work recalls the past but introduces new harmonies
and rhythms."
- The Hartford Courant,
December 1987
kinkh
"It is bone dry, full of interesting detail, inviting personal involvement. I really love it."
- Piano, March/April 1998
Pocket Pieces
"Hasse's superb compositional flair will reward those who explore these rich musical treasures."
- American Music Teacher, April/May 2010
“Small, thoughtful piano pieces of often Satie-esque melancholy.”
- Village Voice, New York,
29 May 2001
Silk Water
"A ruminative work of chords and clusters with a Messiaenic spiritual aura."
- The Boston Globe, Oct 1992
"The six-minute work
is every bit as evocative as the title indicates. And Leon Fleisher brought rapturous intensity to the slowly evolving chordal writing."
- San Francisco Examiner, March 1993
Tremolo Piece
"a wash of shimmering surface textures"
- The Boston Globe, Feb 1988
"Engaging to the ear ...
(it) builds up harmonies slowly in an unchanging but ever-richer texture."
- BBC Music Magazine,
March 2000
Jean + Leon Fleisher, Feb 2009 |
