American composer Abram Chasins became well known for his solo piano suite Three Chinese Pieces (1926). Each movement sounds out the mood implied by its title: sorrow (A Shanghai Tragedy), romance (Flirtation in a Chinese Garden), and breathtaking frenzy (Rush Hour in Hong Kong). Tempos and technical demands fluctuate from Lento through Presto agitato. Titles: A Shanghai Tragedy * Flirtation in a Chinese Garden (for the White Keys Only) * Rush Hour in Hong Kong.

I found out about this composer by exploring You Tube. These pieces provide development of balance between the hands and they have given me a chance to explore more about American pianism. I am learning these pieces and I like them a lot!
