Short Tracks - CD

Short pieces for instrumental music

Diana Blom, creator

In repertoire for one or two instruments, there are many works which are very short – miniatures, perhaps - yet deserve to be heard and enjoyed. The CD, Short Tracks, has assembled 36 tracks of short pieces from the 20^th-21^st centuries, most under 4 minutes in length, most, but not all, stand-alone works. The composers and performers are from Australia, UK, Italy, USA, Israel and musical styles range from tonal to improvisatory exploration.

Listening to the whole CD is a journey with changing musical landscapes. And choosing one or two tracks is a musical smorgasbord.
