Appassionata, Robert Hitz’s newest collection of romantic and spiritual tone poems for solo piano.
Pure poetry for the soul. Romantic melodies with mood and modern rhythms. Classical, Latin and Romantic flavors come together in a fusion that is the magic of Robert’s music. Jazz and modern rhythms join soaring melodies to create a tapestry of sounds.
Many of these new pieces have been heard across the country in the last couple of years and in their travels have been transformed into what they are today. This recording represents a snapshot in time of these poems for piano. They are different in every concert and many were improvised fresh in the studio during a year of recording. All are totally unedited and true to their performance. They retain the magic of spontaneity that is Robert’s musical signature.
