Collected Music for Solo Piano: (Excluding the Solo Sonatas and Ragtime)

Richard St. Clair's (b. 1946) music for solo piano is prodigious. In addition to seventeen solo sonatas and two dozen ragtime pieces to be published at a later date, included herein is a wide variety of music (individual pieces, collections, sets, suites, etc.) readily suitable in concert or teaching settings. Some works are neoclassical, some are avant-garde, some are expressionist.
