The pieces become more difficult as they go on, meaning players have something to strive for. Also, because techniques like dynamics and phrasing (though essential) are not introduced until the later parts of the course, they have been omitted from the earlier parts of this songbook, so that initially the student remains focused on accuracy in the notes and rhythm.To enhance learning through fun-to-play popular songs, the First Australian Songs book will bring a taste of down-under to your fingertips. These jaunty melodies and happy tunes will get you playing, and improving, in no time at all. / Piano

Everybody knows it, and for many a player it was perhaps the first tentative attempt to coax sounds out of the piano: Chopsticks. The origin of this popular piano piece, like that of most folksongs, cannot be ultimately settled today. Legend has it that it was written by Ferdinand Loh and that the designation of the work 'F. Loh: Walzer' eventually turned into 'Flohwalzer'.But no matter who actually wrote the waltz: It is, without doubt, one of the most famous piano pieces and known all over the world. In France, it is called 'Côtelettes' [Chops], in Great Britain 'Chopsticks', and in Mexico 'Los Changuitos' (Little Monkeys). Technically speaking, however, it is not even a waltz. It is composed in 2/4 time and, with regard to style, rather is a polka or a galop.Eric Mayr transcribed the 16-bar original into a concert version for piano duet. / Piano 4 Mains

Surprisingly, Lullaby for Leo represents his first published piece, 'one of the most personal pieces I've ever written,' according to the composer. A sleepless baby inspired Hyung-ki Joo to write this very personal piece. Whether the calming music for violin and piano was able to get Leo to sleep is unknown, but he loves the piece. This memorable gem takes young and old alike into the land of dreams and is suitable for concerts and competitions. An enchanting lullaby which cleverly suggests another and makes you smile – from one who, with his comedy duo partner Aleksey Igudesman, is world famous!/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
