3:14 in A.D. MDCXX (1620 A.D.), Cornelis Drebbel demonstrates the first navigable undersea boat in the Thames in England. The first submarine. In the same year, the Mayflower arrives at Cape Cod. I think that's the more likely depiction in No. 3.
These piano pieces are rather lovely.My Dad played the AD1620 many moons ago.I have asked piano players to play it but they had never heard of the piece.Great I have found it.Thank you.
Well, I’m a piano teacher and these would be somewhat difficult for most students. The big chords are going to require a large hand, bigger than mine. The plus is that they are not very long and not too fast so a high school student who has studied for ten or so years could probably play some of these pieces. A really good chord background would be very helpful in learning these. I have taught MacDowell’s “Hungarian” to an advanced student. That was both fun and challenging.
These pieces are easy depending on how much experience you’ve had with chords as that’s what most of these pieces contain. Overall these pieces are good for about late intermediate or advanced piano students. Your pedaling technique also has a lot to do with how the pieces sound so.
Certainly less difficult than MacDowell's piano sonatas from a purely technical standpoint, but musically rather difficult nonetheless, given that the heavy chordal progressions require the pianist to skillfully shape phrases and create flowing lines. That's not easy in these pieces. The pianist must also voice the chords carefully to prevent the music from sounding muddy.

So cool
Im curious for pianists, what would you say the difficulty of these pieces is? They arent beethoven, but they have colorful harmonies and big chords!
pretty hard

One of the hardest things about these pieces is avoiding the temptation to play them virtuosically or especially too quickly.

Wow it reminds me of All star, by smash mouth.
Also sounds similar to tits of manaunan:)
