Hailed by England's Musical Times for his "dazzlingly prodigious technique",
Haskell Small first came to public attention after winning the Pittsburgh
Concert Society auditions at the age of 21.

A recipient of a solo recitalist grant from the National Endowment for the
Arts and a semifinalist in the Johann Sebastian Bach International Piano
Competition, Mr. Small's concerts throughout the United States, including
Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, National Gallery of Art, the Kennedy Center,
and the Spoleto Festival have won him an enthusiastic following.  Mr. Small
was featured in the PBS television special A Celebration of the Piano, taped
at Wolf Trap.  In recent seasons, Mr. Small has made several tours of Japan
and performed recitals in Paris and London.

Following Small's premiere performance, Tim Page of The Washington Post
lauded the composer's Symphony for Solo Piano as a serious and substantial
composition that deserves a permanent place in the keyboard repertory." The
composer's recording of Symphony for Solo Piano has also received wonderful
reviews, including from Records International at
