First publication of the Louise Talma bagatelles as a set. Composed in 1955 at The MacDowell Colony and dedicated to Thornton Wilder, "these...bagatelles are among Talma's most accessible piano works." Suitable as teaching pieces for advanced students.

From the introduction: "The set of 'Soundshots' is essentially Talma's 'scenes from childhood.' Following in the steps of Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Pinto and others, she composed a charming set of teaching pieces evoking memories of childhood activities and fascinations." Late elementary or early intermediate.
