However, even after a couple of hearings, they'll probably have trouble recognizing the rest of these pieces, none of which has the same kind of inspiration. MacDowell's deeply held belief that American music should copy European models was also his limitation. This music is historically important, but as a listening experience, it has the same effect as second-rate imitations of Grieg's Lyric Pieces. Barbagallo's lovely playing, a fine memorial to this regrettably short-lived artist, makes the music sound better than it really is, and the recorded piano tone is beautiful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: To a Wild Rose \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: Will-O'-The-Wisp \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: At An Old Trysting Place \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: In Autumn \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: From An Indian Lodge \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: To a Water-Lily \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: From Uncle Remus \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: A Deserted Farm \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: By a Meadow Brook \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Woodland Sketches, Op. 51: Told at Sunset \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Sea Pieces, Op. 55: To the Sea \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Sea Pieces, Op. 55: From a Wandering Iceberg \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Sea Pieces, Op. 55: A.D.
