Ho evokes a day in the life of a young child through rapid waves of chromaticism, with restless time signatures keeping things tumbling forward. Fists and forearms are employed as little tempers flare, while elsewhere respite is found in the drift of sleep, notes twinkling rubato-like in the piano's upper register.

Three Scenes for Percussion and Six Instruments (2009) by Per Norgard. Preface / Program Note: The perpetrator soloist is the continuous figure and protagonist in the three scenes of the music. The term scene can be understood as ambiguous, both as the physical place, the platform where you perform and play music and drama - and as the term of narrative course and section in a dramatic performance. My musical scenes unfold in three different stage performances and ensembles. The first stage is characterized by discrete and melodic instruments, vibraphone and marimba, with counterplay from the three riders. In the second stage, the spotlight is on the butcher soloist alone; we meet the protagonist / soloist in a monologue, performed mainly on singing saw, which is intended to treat the utmost microton precision. We also hear the soloist playing at Kalimba, also a popular instrument, but now with African background - unlike the domestic courthouse's musical saw - an often-heard soundtrack from the childhood comrade at Norrebro. In the third stage there is a fan trio, which initially plays up to the impactor's various powerful drums. After a drum cadence, all seven music ends together for the first time. The work ends with a short sleigh solo.

This series of easy piano pieces for teaching purposes presents pupils in the early and early-middle stages with a careful selection from well-known and less-known compositions by important masters. The individual volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children if the literature used for instruction is changed frequently. Of all Grieg's piano music, it is the Lyric Pieces (EB 8832) that enjoy the greatest popularity. These character pieces, which are very varied in their difficulty and their length, preoccupied the composer throughout his creative life. The easiest pieces from the first three books (op. 12, 38 and 43) have been chosen for the present volume. In the musical sense, however, they are by no means light-weight. Only someone who has made the art of playing expressively in the Romantic style his own with the help of Schumann's Scenes from childhood (EB 8436) will be able to interpret this poetry filled with the soul of nordic peoples appropriately. Interpretative indications have been partly added to; fingerings and the distribution of the music between the hands have, as far as possible, been adapted to smaller hands. Sensitive use of the pedal and a tempo rubato imbued with the sense of the music are prerequisites. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Summer 1977.
