Serenade/Toccata - Emma Lou Diemer
Written for pianist Carol Dvoran-Lancaster, this piece's theme is a lyrical idea, reflecting the feeling of a serenade. Understated at first, it becomes more emphatic and propulsive, more toccata-like, as it reappears and is transformed during the course of the work. The music builds throughout to a dramatic and colorful ending.

Preludes for Piano - Ruth Crawford
Crawford's Preludes stand squarely in the tradition of prelude-writing from Bach to Chopin, Debussy and Scriabin. Although her preludes 6-9 have been previously published, these five appear in this carefully prepared and well-researched edition for the first time.
