A collection of character pieces with a difficulty level comparable to Czerny's 30 Etudes, comprising six pieces in total. It does not include jazz or popular-style pieces and can be approached solely with classical technique. Judging from the content of each piece, the "scrapbook" here likely refers to a random collection of objects that hold sentimental value for people. There are no pieces of the showy or virtuosic type; the collection as a whole is unified by a deeply felt, romantic tone. Its unpretentious nature makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, from lessons to recitals. Dedicated to the composer's sister, Barbara Ricau MacArthur.
