This is the last and most advanced volume of the graduated series, which includes works by composers of African descent that are hard to find or have never been published. This volume is for advanced performers and is a wonderful source of new and unusual repertoire.

"One of the more pianistic selections is Rhapsody No. 4 by Lettie Beckon Alston (USA). Written in the manner of a toccata, this extremely effective work provides a thrilling alternative to Khatchaturians toccata." - The Score (Louisiana Music Teachers Assoc), May 09
"A new supply of richly varied repertoire" - John York, Piano 2007
"Technically accomplished pianists seeking to develop their hands, ears, and imagination in new ways, and to take their audiences on voyages of discovery, are recommended to obtain these volumes at the earliest opportunity." - Musical Opinion
