At the behest of Dr. Kreiling, I have decided to present Samuel Barber's Excursions, Op. 20 for solo piano. A piece that I am only vaguely familiar with. The piece is in four movements inspired by:
1. Boogie woogie
2. Blues
3. Streets of Loredo
4. A barn dance
Good information can actually be found on wikipedia:

And YouTube has Horowitz playing three of the movements:

Enjoy - I will
