2009 sees the birth of Elena’s R’n’B Collection. Following Salsa Nueva’s success Elena has commissioned and edited a new publication by Boosey and Hawkes including 17 new solo piano works inspired by the vast heritage of Rhythm and Blues. Ever wondered what Motown, salsa and ‘robust funk’ would sound like in a classical context? This excellent collection of 17 contemporary piano pieces has the answer, finding the place where juicy harmonies and delicious dissonance meet jazz-fuelled cakewalks and stomps. Muso 2009. Elena Riu’s R’n’B Collection is available worldwide. Boosey & Hawkes Schott Music Shop Music Exchange
