A Romantic Sketchbook For Piano explores the wealth of piano music from the Romantic period in five carefully graded albums. Mostly composed between 1830 and 1930 the pieces in these albums have been selected to introduce players to a wide range of music from works by some of the leading Romantic composers (such as Schumann Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky) to unfamiliar pieces by lesser-known figures.Each volume presents a variety of keys time signatures and textures within a comprehensive range of tempi which will be invaluable to students in the development of their musical skills. Players will also respond imaginatively to the varying styles and moods offeredin these colourful sketchbooks from the lively dances and mood pictures to the tender songs and gentle serenades.The five books in this series are graded in terms of difficulty Book 1 being relatively easy and Book 5 advanced.

Par ARENS BARBARA. Nothing succeeds like success! The great popularity of Barbara Arens? One Hand Piano (EB 8646) has encouraged the composer to produce a further collection of pieces for left or right hand alone. The forty pieces are playful, lyrical, haunting or romantic; in tango, waltz, or gavotte dance rhythms; in rock, celtic, jazz and film music styles? A very special feature: the four one hand pieces by Nikolas Sideris, Alison Mathews, Garreth Brooke and Clemens Christian Poetzsch adding a further contemporary depth to the collection. Original one hand pieces by C.P.E. Bach, Abbé Vogler, Farinelli, Mandyczewski, and Sartorio and arrangements of folk songs and a cello suite by Max Reger will prove a welcome and satisfying challenge to all those wanting to improve their weaker hand, or who are temporarily or permanently only able to play with one hand. / Date parution : 2022-11-15/ Recueil / Piano
