ICE FOG, Solo

Ice Fog conjures a dramatic, expressive winter soundscape — the left hand’s unusual clusters and crossing patterns evoke crackling ice, while the rushing eighth-note lines in the contrasting section suggest blustery wind through an icy forest. Written in E minor with an “A–B–A” form, this early intermediate–intermediate solo gives students rich opportunities for expressive tone and narrative playing.
