Kravchuk - Dry Creek - Op. 10
Piano Repertoire
-
Kravchuk – Dry Creek, Op. 10 is a collection of original piano works in a modern Romantic style, inspired by the landscapes and atmosphere of Dry Creek in Sacramento County, California. The music blends expressive lyricism with flowing textures and contemporary harmonic color, creating vivid musical impressions shaped by nature and place.
This volume includes ten character pieces, each capturing a distinct mood—from freely expressive and rubato passages to gently flowing and rhythmically driven movements. The pieces emphasize melodic shaping, tonal control, pedaling nuance, and balance between melody and accompaniment, offering pianists musically engaging repertoire that develops expressive control alongside technical fluency.
The engraving is presented in a clean, modern format optimized for comfortable reading during practice and performance. Clear spacing and practical layout help pianists focus on musical expression while maintaining accuracy and ease of page navigation.
Each piece includes a QR code linking to an online reference performance, allowing pianists to hear tempo relationships, phrasing, tonal balance, and character to support confident preparation. QR access also provides alternate page-layout versions where available, helping performers reduce or eliminate page turns when practical.
Inspired by natural scenery and contemporary Romantic piano writing, Dry Creek provides expressive recital repertoire suitable for lessons, examinations, and performance programming while remaining accessible and rewarding for developing pianists.
