The album “Present Reflections” offers an anthology of Amy Beach’s piano works, showcasing her remarkablecompositional talent and stylistic range-from expressive virtuosity to deep interpretativeintimacy. This distinctive quality is due not only to her extraordinary gift but also to several factors: theprofound cultural shifts she experienced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries-bridging lateRomanticism, the emergence of the avant-garde, and the advent of jazz-and her unmistakable emotionalexpressiveness. Despite the strict, self-imposed discipline of her compositional process (she wasentirely self-taught), her style remains deeply personal and authentic in every work. Looking back intime, beginning with her later compositions, one can observe a radical evolution in her writing.These works are not only a significant contribution to American piano literature but also a testamentto the transformation of an era-one that slips away from the present to become almost immediatelypart of the past. In this way, Present Reflections becomes a mirror of today’s world, reflecting the epochalchanges of which we are all a part. Mrs. Beach’s incredible talent, which enabled her to emergeas one of the greatest composers of her time, tells the story of both women and men-transcendingthe limitations imposed by society and leaving behind a musical legacy that deserves not only rediscoverybut celebration.Katia Spluga
