American, nostalgic (this piece) and the playing in this recording is very expressive, almost vocal.

I got piano reductions of Appalachian Spring and El Salon Mexico. Always challenging myself. Stretch goals. Hmmm, is Rodeo on my bookshelf? Four Piano Blues? Time to check.

The only works available for free are by permission of the copyright owners. Just 7.

For the rest, you have to pay. Usually Boosey and Hawkes.

You might try American Songs. I heard them on the radio once or twice. YouTube is being hostile to me tonight.

No comment.
