An Anthology of Piano Music for the Left Hand Alone marks a rare and significant entry to the piano literature as one of the only collections of the oft-neglected left-hand piano repertoire. Serious literature for the left hand alone has a long and storied past. Contained within this volume, the serious advanced pianist will find a wealth of artistically satisfying repertoire for the left hand that will not only strengthen the technical development of the left hand, but also make for impressive showpieces on the recital stage.This volume includes hitherto unpublished gems like Earl Wild's Etude No. 3 for the Left Hand Alone (Based on Gershwin’s The Man I Love) and Ruth Wylie's Soliloquy for Piano, Left Hand, Op. 23, as well as established classics of the repertoire like Godowky's Chopin arrangements, and even modern and contemporary additions like Bartok’s Etude for the Left Hand and Corigliano's Etude No. 1 for the Left Hand Alone.

Known professionally as Hauschka, composer Volker Bertelmann has catapulted himself into the top tier of instrumental composers. This is proven, not least, by the Oscar nomination which he received for his soundtrack to the2016 film Lion.
In his latest album A Different Forest, released on 8 February 2019 at Sony Classical, Hauschka takes the forest as a contrast to the urban life. The names of the pieces, such as 'Talking To My Father',testify equally that those natural experiences are metaphorical of the important things in life.
For this album Hauschka renounces entirely his prepared Piano. The existential questions which he musically poses, however,donot lose their intensity, but rather, without the alienation by electronic elements, gain urgency.
In addition to the 13 LP tracks, this songbook for Piano also contains three exclusive arrangements of previouslyunreleased songs: 'Collecting Stones', 'Loosing Directions' and 'Misty Day'.

Dies beweist nicht zuletzt die Oscar-Nominierung, die er für seinen Soundtrack zum Film Lion“ erhielt. In seinem neusten Album A Different Forest“ am 08. Februar 2019 bei Sony Classical erschienen nimmt er sich dem Wald als Kontrastraum zum städtischen Leben an. Titelnamen wie Talking To My Father bezeugen gleichermaßen, dass jene Naturerfahrungen metaphorisch für die wichtigen Dinge des Lebens stehen. Für dieses Album verzichtet Hauschka gänzlich auf sein präpariertes Klavier. Die existentiellen Fragen, denen er sich musikalisch stellt, verlieren hierdurch aber nicht an Intensität, sondern gewinnen ohne die Verfremdung durch elektronische Elemente vielmehr an Dringlichkeit. Dieses Songbook für Klavier enthält neben den 13 Titeln der LP drei exklusive Arrangements bisher unveröffentlichter Songs: Collecting Stones, Losing Directions und Misty Day.Volker Bertelmann, également connu sous le nom de Hauschka, s'est retrouvé au premier rang des compositieurs instrumentaux : ceci a été confirmé par sa nomination aux Oscars pour la bande-originale du film Lion. Dans son dernier album « A Different Forest », sorti le 8 février 2019, la forêt fait usage de contaste avec la vie urbaine.
