Monster Behind the Door by Catherine Wilson is mysterious and intriguing Halloween piano solo. Intermediate pianists will enjoy the quirky feel!
The use of semitones / half-steps helps create an eerie quality that is reinforced by the use of tritones in the riff-like left hand. The final major chord makes us wonder whether there was ever actually a monster behind the door!
