I’m pleased to announce the publication of sheet music for my original solo piano composition, Dance #3 in F-sharp Major.
This work is the third in a collection of three piano dances I’ve composed, each with its own musical character and technical challenges. And the publication of this piece completes the availability of the three dances from my recording Six Dance Episodes.

The Inspiration Behind My Piano Dances
My three dances draw inspiration from the spirit of Frédéric Chopin’s piano dances, particularly his waltzes and mazurkas. Like many of Chopin’s compositions, these are not necessarily dances intended for the dance floor. Rather, they are expressive piano works intended for listening, incorporating rhythmic motion, melodic expression, and contrasting musical ideas.
While each piece has a distinct personality, all three explore the expressive and technical possibilities of the piano.
Exploring the Three Dances
Dance #1 in F-sharp Minor
The first dance has a particularly Chopin-esque quality, with a Slavic character that influences its musical expression. The composition is suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists.

Dance #2 in C Major
The second dance is an energetic work featuring octave patterns, dynamic contrasts between the hands, and a bridge incorporating a more contemporary improvisational style. This composition is best suited for advanced pianists, particularly those with larger hands.

Dance #3 in F-sharp Major
The third dance continues the energetic spirit of the collection, featuring repeated eighth-note patterns, accented melodies shared with the left hand, and dramatic dynamic contrasts.
This work presents particular technical challenges for the left hand and is intended for advanced pianists comfortable with demanding left-hand passages.
