Four Seasonal Sketches combines traditional and neoromantic harmonics with distinctive, memorable melodies - for example, in "Spring Intermezzo" and "Summer Interlude" a flowing, arpeggiated left hand provides evocative harmonies, adding a wistfulness to the simple right hand melodies. All the pieces contain a wide variety of rhythmic patterns, including syncopation and jazz-inspired rhythms which seem to 'jump out' at unexpected moments as in "Autumn Dance".
