Summary of This Book
Having a small hand span can turn some piano pleasures into real challenges: repeated octaves, overly wide chords, uncomfortable positions... With Small Hand Piano, Barbara Arens offers a concrete and intelligent solution to this problem, born from a practical request by a teacher seeking pieces without octaves and without large stretches difficult to reach.
Drawing on her experience with students of all ages, the author (known notably for One Hand Piano, 21 Amazingly Easy Pieces, Piano Misterioso, Piano Vivace - Piano Tranquillo, and Piano Exotico ) has compiled a collection of 20 pieces designed to preserve musicality while respecting the morphology of smaller hands. The goal is not to "simplify" excessively, but to enable true expression at the keyboard, with more natural fingerings and positions.
To ensure stimulating progression and genuine discovery pleasure, Small Hand Piano combines pages from the repertoire of renowned composers (such as Massenet, Gurlitt, Sibelius, and Heller ) with rarer pieces chosen for their charm and pedagogical effectiveness (including Marcello, Koeluch, Schytte, and Rebikov ). The collection is completed by two arrangements of famous film music titles, bringing a modern and immediately appealing color for many pianists.
