Durand Kunz - 200 Petits Canons - Piano

Overview of this book

Kunz - 200 Little Canons - Piano offers a collection of pieces designed to support the pianist’s practice. This book is well suited to a review-based approach: revisiting acquired skills, maintaining technical fluency and taking the time to better understand what is being played. The 200 little canons provide musical material to explore from one session to the next, alongside the course of study followed with a teacher.

A canon is based on the imitation of a melodic line by another voice. Studying it therefore encourages the player to listen to the different parts and follow their dialogue in the score. On the piano, this writing offers an opportunity to focus on the continuity of the musical line rather than solely on the succession of notes. Each session can become a time to bring reading, listening and understanding together.

Designed as a piano practice resource for consolidation, this collection makes it possible to organise regular work around simple objectives: revisiting a passage, clarifying one’s reading or checking the consistency of one’s performance. It can be used to return to a difficulty identified during a lesson, then continue working at home with a specific focus in mind. This approach helps give repetitions a clear, practical purpose.

With its revision by S. Riera, this book supports attentive and regular practice. It is intended for pianists looking for a resource to help them review, as well as teachers seeking little canons to incorporate into their lessons. The choice of pieces and the pace of work can be adapted to the student’s skills and needs.
