    These pieces are lovely, haunting, and not too difficult to play for the beginner/advanced intermediate player like myself. There's a sort of modal, middle eastern quality, no doubt based on the "Armenian" nature (and I assume Hohvaness is Armenian-American). They require some work with the fingering,just...

    These are easy pieces, simple on the page. But some rhythmic subtleties mean that the non-genius player is not going to master them immediately. There's challenge here.

    get a good idea what they are supposed to sound like. The perfect introduction to this composer's work for piano.
