Original Compositions for Ballet Class, Vol. 7

Curtis A. Probel, Pianist

 

Creativity and sophisticated fun in a contemporary style!

Mr. Probel uses diverse rhythms and dynamic support to facilitate class

exercises in a very fun style. The Bossa Nova and Rumba pieces are

extraordinary and guaranteed to energize with the added percussion tracks.

The adagios are beautifully emotional, the waltzes sweeping, and the jumps

bouncy.

 

"Curtis Probel has created a CD that is highly original in its conception

and composition. His use of rhythms and dynamics for the various

exercises shows that he is a master at finding the appropriate feel for

what is being performed. From the glorious rumba and tango rhythms

through to the grand waltzes, he delivers exquisite music. Thank you,

Curt, for this highly recommendable piece of artistic work! "
