{"product_id":"edition-breitkopf-russian-piano-music-piano-64982","title":"Russian Piano Music - Piano","description":"\u003ch3\u003eSummary of This Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \"Russischer Klaviermusik,\" you explore a rich and contrasting pianistic Russia, conceived as a journey from Glinka to Gubaidulina, presented as chronological landmarks on the cover. Between these two poles, the collection offers a particularly balanced combination: essential composers (Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov, Scriabin, Kabalevsky, Shostakovich) alongside genuine discoveries (Gavrilin, Kossenko, Mylnikov). The result is a varied selection that showcases different harmonic colors, rhythmic characters, and writing styles, while remaining suitable for daily practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subtitle \"Spielen - Erleben - Verstehen\" takes on full meaning here thanks to the contribution of pianist and pedagogue Linde Grossmann. For each of the 24 pieces (ranging from light to intermediate difficulty), she offers an in-depth commentary focused on concrete points: musical intentions, articulation, touch, phrasing, sound management, and discourse construction. This approach transforms the collection into a tool for progression, both for students and teachers seeking quality pedagogical repertoire rooted in Russian music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA telling example is given with Glazunov's \"Miniature\": the analysis highlights a deliberately ambiguous tonality, which cadences toward C major at key moments while suggesting the relative minor key A minor. This absence of overly definitive cadences enhances musical continuity despite the organization into groups of four measures. The commentary also emphasizes a capricious character, supported by transparent writing and a rhythm evoking the mazurka (frequent punctuations and an elongated third beat).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the technical side, attention is drawn to arpeggiated chords, to be approached with a flexible gesture: avoiding arm pressure, favoring quick finger release to preserve lightness and clarity. In the reprise, the staccato eighth-note accompaniment further accentuates this finesse, while the use of the pedal remains an element to manage independently of articulation. A concrete way to learn to make the piano sing, with style and intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eVarious (Glinka, Gubaidulina, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov, Scriabin, Kabalevsky, Shostakovich, Gavrilin, Kossenko, Mylnikov)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eEasy to moderately difficult\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e88\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Edition Breitkopf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360079270163,"sku":"64982","price":26.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/e735b2f8b782442f3262c1444546b9f862677ff3_MDS_9790004181782.jpg?v=1789474367","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/edition-breitkopf-grossman-l-hg-russische-klaviermusik-64982","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
