Dreaming on Ice

這首優美細膩的華爾滋讓人聯想到滑冰者的冰刀在冰面上留下的漩渦。有了這樣的印象，學生們就能巧妙地演奏出抒情的旋律。這首旋律採用康塔比勒風格，由右手貫穿全曲。左手伴奏首先從單音開始，每小節的第一個音下行半音。隨著樂曲的進行，左手和聲也逐漸加入。雖然樂曲以 C 大調寫成，但通篇有大量的附點音符。大量使用ritardandos為樂曲創造了一種rubato give and take的效果，有助於培養青少年和成年學生的浪漫演奏風格"

原文簡介:
This beautiful and delicate waltz brings to mind the swirls on the ice left by the blades of an ice skater. With this image in mind, students should be able to execute the lyrical melody with finesse. The melody, written in cantabile style, is found throughout the piece in the right hand. The left hand accompaniment begins first with single notes, with the first note of each measure moving down one half step. Left hand harmonies are filled in as the piece progresses. Though written in C major, there are numerous accidentals throughout. The liberal use of ritardandos creates a rubato give and take to the piece, which aids in developing a romantic style of playing in teenage and adult students.
