Spotlight On Romantic Style

A collection of five original pieces that capture the most important elements of the Romantic style: expressive, cantabile melodies and full-bodied sound. Each selection explores a different Romantic form and style and provides an effective introduction to the Romantic era while remaining well within the reach of intermediate pianists. Suggestions and program notes are also provided.

In the Spotlight on Styles Collection, 21 original pieces by Catherine Rollin are gathered in one book to serve as an introduction to the distinctive styles of Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Impressionist music. Each piece is accessible to the intermediate pianist and features elements that are stylistically characteristic of one of these four periods. Through this collection, students are offered a fulfilling musical experience as well as preparation for the study of the masterworks. / Piano
