Solid, Adaptable Americana
This Grade 3 arrangement of Bennett's Old American Dances is a reliable choice. While it’s an adaptation for younger players, the selections (Wallflower Rag, Western One-Step) are still spirited and well-crafted by James Curnow. As a conductor, I appreciate a clean score for quick prep. It’s perfect for community concerts or events where an accessible classic is needed, though not the full original. Good, practical addition to the library.
