The Yamaha Piano Library, which began in the 1980s, is a series designed to provide students with new teaching materials and repertoire essential to music education. Today, pianists all over the world are required to play pieces from different eras with technique and sensitivity that reflect the characteristics of the music of that period. To meet these demands, this series offers a wide range of piano compositions from different periods, regions, and styles. Many of these pieces are not included in other collections and are selected as required pieces for competitions each year. This fascinating collection includes compositions from Germany, one of the leading countries of the Romantic period, as well as from all over Europe, Russia, the United States and other regions, ranging from the less frequently played to the standard pieces in a well-balanced manner. Arranged in order of difficulty so that they can be played according to the student's skill level, the 31 pieces composed for the piano by Romantic composers are selected for students studying at Bayer's later levels.

Waterways (Vandveje) - Three Pieces for Piano by Per Nørgård (2008-09).
Written for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov.
Preface / Programme NoteThe three small piano pieces collectively called WATERWAYS was composed in 2008-2009 for Anne Marie Fjord Abildskov and they are dedicated to her.You will hear traces of earlier piano works of mine – GROOVING from 1968 and ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE from 1983 – in these new pieces.
The first movement is characterized by echo-like sounds, which also appear in GROOVING. Semitones are overlayered and soundsimultaniously, and then they are muted one by one to give a reminiscence of the initial sound. In this new movement an extra echo is added, like an extra skim of the stoneacross the water surface – three skims, actually.
In the second movement you may hear traces of ACHILLEUS AND THE TORTOISE. The left and right hand both play arpeggio-like scale patterns. The music is shimmering, like a moiré on a water surface, with constantly changing, very short durations.In the third movement the pattern of irregular durations is maintained and expanded, but only in fragments – and you may catch a glimpse of a new melody emerging.

25 easy pieces from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, playable in the first three finger patterns in the first position, for violin pupils from the second year of learning. Apart from lesser known works, this edition also contains many popular pieces, such as themes from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Handel's Fireworks Music and Water Music, Mozart's Magic Flute or Beethoven's Symphony No. 9. This volume's intention is to grant access to classical masterpieces of concert literature with the help of such easy arrangements and spread the joy of classical music.The approach to the pieces is made easier by the accompanying CD which, on the one hand, offers the opportunity to listen to and get to know the pieces beforehand, and, on the other hand, thanks to the separate piano accompaniments, provides first experience in ensemble playing and conveys the vivid joy of music-making.When the CD was recorded by Prof. Benjamin Bergmann, violin, and Leonid Dorfman, piano, they deliberately decided in favour of moderate tempos to make it easier for the young violinists to play along with the piano part. A treasure trove for auditions at schools and music schools.

“G.F.Handel's (1685-1759) Water Music is one of the most famous suites ever to be written. Therefore, when brass arranger, Robert King (1914-1999) arranged three movements of the popular piece for the brass choir or brass sextet, it was very well-received. The Water Music premiered in 1717 and was originally composed for orchestra. The three movements arranged for brass are the two famous Allegros, and the well-known Andante. King's transcriptions ensure that the brass parts contain the articulation, phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all classical brass ensembles, this King arrangement of the popular Water Music is essential.”.
