This dramatic work unfolds in a rich harmonic texture, developing rhythmic and melodic motives derived from the opening theme. Central to the piece is a lyrical section where the expressive melodic writing is supported by a gentle texture of undulating eighth-notes. From here the work gradually builds to a powerful climax and concludes with a final variation of the opening theme. Ballade, Op. 17, first published by CPP/Belwin in 1985, was commissioned by Eric Reiss who gave the premiere performance in Miami, Florida, also in 1985. The work was later recorded by pianist Tina Faigen on the ACA Digital compact disc "Visions of Dunbar."

Level: Intermediate - Early Advanced
Duration: 12 minutes
Completed and first published in 1993, Five Impromptus, Opus 23, were conceived primarily as recital repertoire for moderately advanced student pianists. The pieces vary in degree of difficulty with the first two falling comfortably within the intermediate category, while the remainder of the set requires more advanced skills. Each piece, in general, emerges in a three-part (ABA) form. The writing is contemporary in flavor, including touches of polytonality and some use of mixed meters, but always traditionally pianistic. The three more difficult works, Impromptus Nos. 3-5, are included on the ACA Digital compact disc "Visions of Dunbar" recorded by pianist Tina Faigen. As displayed on this recording, these three works are sufficiently challenging to qualify as repertoire for early-advanced through artist-level performers, and certainly afford the advancing student the opportunity to explore and develop a greater sense of color, atmosphere and expression.

Portraying a wide variety of moods, atmospheres and colors, this one movement Schultz composition progresses through a number of linked, contrasting sections, building toward a thrilling conclusion.

Contents: 8 Piano Solos / 32 pages
Level: Advanced / Professional*
Duration: 17 minutes
This dramatic, colorful set of 8 piano solos was written for pianist, Tina Faigen, who recorded them on the ACA Digital compact disc, "Visions of Dunbar." As the title suggests, the works invoke the influence of harmonic and melodic styles from the great piano music created earlier in the 20th century, particularly reminiscent of the Impressionistic period. The works, however, are strikingly original, resounding with the color and expressive qualities that are always associated with Robert Schultz's concert works. Faigen's flawless recording is a superb reference for the composer's intentions, and this edition, edited by Faigen, is a remarkable document to both the recording and Schultz's original score. Wonderfully received by audiences, 8 Reminiscences provides a welcome addition to the performance repertoire of concert pianists.
*While the Reminiscences are written for professional pianists, several of the works are accessible and appropriate repertoire for study by late-intermediate student pianists.
