The music in this collection is greatly influenced by Contemporary American composer Ricky Ian Gordon's love for both French music and film. In this work he clearly demonstrates his ability to straddle the worlds of concert music and Broadway, incorporating a strong dance element into each unique work. This dynamic collection includes Five Dances for Solo Piano, The Caste System for Solo Piano, A Desire Rag for Solo Piano and Ring-A-Ding-Ding for Piano, four Hands.
