The Hourglass is a gem for the right pianist. It’s short (approx. 2’15”), memorable, and deeply satisfying to play. Whether you’re a student needing a lyrical piece for a recital, an adult returning to piano, or a teacher seeking a modern alternative to Burgmüller or Schumann, this sheet music delivers. Rating: ★★★★☆ (4
Einaudi’s Nuvole Bianche , Yiruma’s River Flows in You , or Gillock’s Valse Étude . 2’15”), memorable, and deeply satisfying to play
For advanced players, the harmonic language may feel safe or predictable. This is not a piece for flashy virtuosity. If you’re looking for jazz harmonies or sharp contrasts, look elsewhere. Crosland stays firmly in a neo-romantic, film-score idiom.
