Sentimental Dances tells the story of two strangers who meet and develop feelings for each other, but who ultimately cannot be together. There are a range of emotions through the pieces, from excitement and affection to the melancholy and sorrow of Last Dance.
Sentimental Dances is a versatile set of pieces, which can be performed at functions, events or as part of a concert. Working well together, each movement can also be played effectively as a stand alone piece.
