Three Tone-Pictures, Opus 5 – Artistic Piano Repertoire for Technical Development
by Charles Tomlinson Griffes
ed. by Dr. Evan Mitchell
Early Advanced Piano

Composed by Charles Tomlinson Griffes, the Three Tone-Pictures, Op. 5 reflect the unmistakable influence of Claude Debussy and the Impressionist style. Each piece offers an immersive, atmospheric sound world shaped by whole tone scales, floating harmonies, and richly evocative titles:

• The Lake at Evening
• The Vale of Dreams
• The Night Winds

Edited by Dr. Evan Mitchell, this edition includes Practice & Performance commentary to support technical preparation, interpretive depth, and stylistic nuance. These works highlight Griffes’ unique voice at the intersection of French and American modernism, offering a compelling addition to the advanced repertoire.
