Circles features 24 original character etudes by Phillip Keveren, representing all of the 12 major and minor keys. These brief solos range widely in emotion and each is absolutely delightful to play. The set was inspired by the calendar months from the viewpoint of someone living in the northern hemisphere (where Keveren grew up), therefore the C Major etude is also titled “New Beginnings” while F Major, the penultimate etude, is called “Sleigh Bells.” May be performed as a set, in selected keys, or individually.

Delightful and Rewarding Intermediate Play
I'm absolutely loving 'Circles'! Phillip Keveren has created such engaging pieces. As an adult learner, the intermediate level feels just right – challenging enough to keep me motivated, but completely achievable. Exploring all 24 major and minor keys with such varied, expressive 'character etudes' is a joy. It’s a truly delightful way to relax and feel accomplished at the piano.

Versatile Solos for Diverse Settings
Keveren's 'Circles' offers a solid collection of intermediate piano solos. While these etudes aren't traditional gig charts with explicit chord symbols, their varied emotional range and key exploration make them versatile. Each piece stands well on its own for background music or a brief feature. Be mindful of page turns if performing a selection live, but overall, it's a quality addition for a working pianist.
