A collection of long and short piano pieces all of which were inspired by the interval of the fifth. This limitation leads to very unusual tonal colouring. The titles: Blue, Yellow etc., indicate the attempt to convert colours into music. Some pieces from this cycle have sucessfully established themselves within the teaching literature for intermediate students. Very easy (Pink Fifths), moderately difficult and difficult (Blue Fifths).
