Metelka Jakub - Modern Piano Studies

Moderni Klavirni Etudy. Par METELKA JAKUB. Are studies meant only for practicing? This album of 30 short pieces with original names and amusing illustrations by Andrea Tachezy proves that studies are in no way boring. The edition covers all the keys, with each study solving a specific technical problem while displaying its own character or even telling a little story. With their tuneful melodies and modern sound, these studies amount to miniature recital pieces! 'When you play through all the studies, you will be able to find your way through all the major and minor keys and perfect your grasp of musical notation.” (Jakub Metelka)/ Etude / Piano

Modern Piano Nocturnes. Par METELKA JAKUB. The album ?The Secret Garden? by Jakub Metelka (b. 1986) contains fifteen recital pieces in simple song form, thus tying in with his successful, technically less demanding piano cycle ?Little Virtuoso? (BA11569). The individual compositions in the collection are characterized by Metelka?s unmistakable, tonally anchored melodic style, enriched with many unusual harmonies and colours, which here underlines the slightly melancholic and mysterious character of these nocturnal pieces. The playful illustrations by Andrea Tachezy reflect these moods in an imaginative and charming way. Although it is not really a predetermined cycle, the fifteen atmospheric character pieces, with their programmatic titles and their arrangement tell a kind of fairy tale that culminates in the magical final composition ?The Secret Garden?. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / Piano
