Album Notes

"All of the songs are beautiful and evocative... This is truly an outstanding solo piano collection, and I very strongly recommend it. ...one of the most peaceful and restful piano albums I've heard in awhile. ...Often, "peaceful" implies simplicity... but that is certainly not the case here... the complexity lies within the free-form style and powerful emotional content." Kathy Parsons - Solo Piano Publications

"Linton displays a masterful command of nuance as he gently plays in an impressionistic manner... For my money, it's one of my favorite solo piano releases of the last year or two. This CD serves as a perfect soundtrack for remembrance. Solidly recommended, even to those who normally shy away from piano music." Bill Binkelman - WIND and WIRE

"Call him the cerebral maestro... He grants us a revealing glimpse into his mind as he graces us with a full hour of blissfully beautiful piano compositions that will make your heart bleed and then make your heart sing, all within the same breath. Beautifully structured and expertly arranged, this emotionally explicit album is undeniable proof that William Linton deserves to share the same piano bench with the best of 'em. " Wasim Muklashy - L.A. Splash Magazine

"Over the course of Piano Sketches' nine tracks, Linton's remarkable sense of lyricism and melody shines brightly." Gail Worley - The Worley Gig

"hauntingly beautiful" Kevin Asbjörnson - Concert Pianist
