4. Lamb in G minor

William Grant Still

What's this piece like?
Five Animal Sketches is a collection of short character pieces. Besides representing a specific character or mood from an animal, each piece also focuses on very specific techniques. The Lamb explores unison and articulation. This is a great exercise in tone production and fine control between the sounds of each hand.
Who's this piece for?
A very nice piece for those who like original and creative styles.
