“In particular, I was drawn to Samba II (Great melody, interesting texture changes, fast rhythmic appeal)...The CD, perhaps the primary motivation for this republication, has two tracks for each prelude: a play-along background track and a full performance of the prelude with ensemble...Myriad uses spring to mind: I would use these preludes as one- to two-week pieces for students who are a bit past this level in repertoire, to challenge and hone their sightreading, rhythmic prowess, voicing and interpretive choices...Latin Preludes diversifies my sightreading-lending library, and provides new gig material for parties and receptions.”--American Music Teacher
