These 17 entertaining piano miniatures guide the learner (from the 2nd or 3rd year of instruction) casually and naturally into new worlds of classical music, without leaving out popular trends and movements. The colorful spectrum of these “musical comics” ranges from the jazzy Blue Comic to the toccata-like Pianoforte, and on to contemporary suspended sounds and clusters (Dream Piece I and II). In addition, in each miniature a particular piano playing technique is focused on for practice (e.g., in Spanish Etude and Circus Etude).
The booklet includes:
- 17 extremely diverse piano miniatures in various 20th century styles—from serious to pop music!
- clearly and expertly arranged musical notations and fingerings
- an audio CD + Media App with complete recordings of all 17 pieces
