The Silver Wave Etude “Determination”
The song begins with frantic chromatic scales rushing up the piano in pursuit of success,
followed by a full sweep up to a victorious descent.
The Purple Wave Etude “Mystery”
This music creeps up the piano to an Alfred Hitchcock like tune, then drops down to
a riveting chase scene, ending with huge crashing sounds.
The Black Wave Etude “Darkness”
This daunting etude creeps slowly up to the break in the wave and then eerily plunges down to the abyss.
Tidal Wave Etude “United Front”
This composition is so ginormous it took two pictures to illustrate its magnitude.
“The Build” of the Tidal Wave is portrayed by low daunting octaves building towards the
second picture entitled “The Release” which is full octaves at full volume in a very dramatic run down the piano.
The Light Blue Wave Etude “Fluff”
This tranquil peaceful exercise floats gently upward to a heavenly, calming descent.
The Red Wave Etude “Anger”
This wave sounds nothing short of rage as the musical phrases aggressively rivet
up to the apex, where the temper tantrum begins, then plummeting to serious
madness!
The Ultra Marine Wave Etude “Freedom”
This patriotic number rushes up the piano with force and courage, descending with march like precision.
The Brown Wave Etude “Anxiety”
This dark distressful composition swirls up to crisis. Followed by dramatic crashes to
despair then relief.
