Gesten Collection

Discover New Sides of the Piano

These 10 innovative miniatures by Stuttgart composer Jan Kopp invite you to explore new facets of piano playing. All together they fit on just one page. Various creative musical-haptical gestures like Bouncing, Beading, or Intersecting offer the keys stimulating musical creativity. To assist in practicing and rehearsing the somewhat unusual playing techniques, all of the pieces are accompanied by step-by-step Mini-Workshops. This gives the collection an additional methodical level with an etude character, providing performers with practice-oriented insights into the playing and sound possibilities of contemporary piano music.

These Gesten (Gestures) are suitable for experienced piano students, professionals, and enthusiastic amateur pianists. Largely within the intermediate playing range, these pieces are especially recommended for use in competitions such as Jugend musiziert and prima la musica.
All those who wish to explore the exciting world of sounds of Gesten (Gestures) should definitely make extensive use of the HELBLING Media App. All 10 pieces have been professionally recorded and are included in this app. A short instructions text and the access code for the audio product can be found on the inside front cover of the booklet.
