Review:      "Three Sketches" by Cynthia Dobrinski is a group of three short colorful mood pieces with both sacred and secular titles, which can be performed separately or as a suite. The first one is joyful and upbeat with a distinctive Spanish flair with hardly any bell changes. The second sketch is slow, contemplative, and serene, and the third sets an exciting mood with perpetual motion in a fast and lighthearted theme that dances along. If you are looking for something unusual, something that sounds harder than it is, and something with a variety of techniques and moods, then this is the one for you.
