{Index: Solo Works}
"Gallagher’s 'Nocturne' is gorgeous. More melodic than many of the pieces in
the collection, it includes several cadenza-like sections that Astolfi performs
to perfection."
—Kathy Parsons, Solo Piano Publications
"A beautiful post-Chopin piece defined by a rich sonority, slow harmonic
movement, careful, elegant counterpoint, and an involuted melody."
—Wooster Daily Record
