The collection Little Stories consists of 16 short expressively varied piano pieces. The interpretation is suggested by the title referring to the imagination the world of fairy tales everyday children's matters and observation of nature. The majority of the miniatures can be easily performed after few months of study; the level of difficulty corresponds to the last stage of learning with the hadbook by Agnieszka Lasko – First Class Piano. In some of them (Drowsy Cloud Sunrise Cuckoo Song The Princess and the Knight Winter Moon) an element of improvisation is used creatively engaging the young pianist; thanks to the composer's ingenuity any attempt at free music making shall be successful. The advantage of the pieces is their melody factor (memorable naturally wandering themes). The miniatures are also characterized by simplicity of texture and harmony (slightly colored with dissonant chords) a playful tone (e.g. playing with shifting accents in Little Monster Stomp) or dance-like-character (the waltz Ballerina Tarantela). The composer also took care of the fingering and the use of pedals which facilitates the playing. Sophisticated illustrations painted by Ma gorzata Flis help to develop the pupil's sensivity.

Score-John Jacob Niles' I Wonder As I Wander arranged for Orchestra.This Christian folk hymn was inspired by a song heard by Niles at a fundraising meeting for evangelicals which he attendedin Murphy North Carolina. Niles wrote of the moment he first heard the tune:'A girl had stepped out to the edge of the little platform attached to the automobile. She began to sing. Her clothes wereunbelievable dirty and ragged and she too was unwashed. Her ash-blond hair hung down in long skeins.... But best of all she was beautiful and in her untutored way she could sing. She smiled as she sang smiled rather sadly and sang only a single line of a song'.Niles requested that the girl repeat the fragment seven times paying her a quarter per performance and left with 'three lines of verse a garbled fragment ofmelodic material—and a magnificent idea'. He completed his composition on October 4 1933 and I Wonder As I Wander was first performed on December 19 1933 at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown North Carolina.This melodic arrangement by Michael Brown offers an opportunity for every group of instruments to shine making it an excellent choice for school concerts or showcases.

The definitive edition (1987) of the piano teaching classic. Includes an introduction by the composer's son Peter Bartók.

In 1945 Bela Bartok described 'Mikrokosmos' as a cycle of 153 pieces for piano written for 'didactic' purposes, seeing them as a series of pieces in many different styles, representing a small world, or as the 'world of the little ones, the children'. Stylistically Mikrokosmos reflects the influence of folk music on Bartók's life and the rhythms and harmonies employed create music that is as modern today as when the cycle was written.

The 153 pieces making up 'Mikrokosmos' are divided into six volumes arranged according to technical and musical difficulty. / Partition /
