??Being Russian born I have a strong connection to the ballet scores of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, and as a result in theWild Swans, more than in any other work of mine, I allowed myself the freedom to roam through 200 years of musical genres, ranging from Hungarian Operetta through folk music and even including the influences of jazz and popular music,? says Elena Kats-Chernin. The full-length work, which premiered in Sydney in 2003, was written for choreographer Meryl Tankard after the two artists had already worked together for the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games, and became one of the composer's greatest successes. Many excerpts in various arrangements have a concert life of their own today - including the world-renowned Eliza Aria. Arranged by the composer for piano trio after the original orchestral version, the ten-minute suite comprises further characteristic pieces of the ballet music: Green Leaf Prelude, Brothers, and Mute Princess.

Just about every child loves horses, and, not surprisingly, many composers have fondly recalled their childhood love for horses in a great variety of piano pieces. The collection Horses! Easy Piano Pieces With The Keyboard Crocodile goes through all the paces, trotting out bucking broncos and little ponies, but also seahorses and rocking horses... It depicts general forms of broadly equine motion transposed into music. The experienced Keyboard Crocodile editorial team has compiled a large number of easy, original piano pieces ranging from Robert Schumann's classic Wild Rider to Mike Schoenmehl's Cowboy Ride. And with Martina Schneider's delightful drawings, players familiar with the Keyboard Crocodile will be pleased to find their old friends once again!Saddle up your piano stool and start galloping!MP3 audiofiles, performed by Aki Sakae, are to be found in the download section or on YouTube.
