Anthony Verbalis composes works that often blend accessible melodic structures with contemporary tonal colors. 'Bells' functions as a character piece focusing on evocative atmosphere rather than technical display.
Ensure the voicing of the melody is clear through the thicker harmonic textures in the mid-range.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Bells is rated Henle level 4 of 9 — intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 5–6. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 5.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 4 — meaning you can already play level 3–4 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Bells lasts about 3 minutes.
Bells is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
Pieces at a comparable difficulty and character include Ave Maria d'Arcadelt by Franz Liszt, Ave Verum Corpus de Mozart by Franz Liszt, Albumblatt by Johannes Brahms — see the full similar-pieces list on this page.
