Summary of This Book
This educational collection by Peter Manning is aimed at musicians who want to structure their progress on the piano, with a particular focus on accompaniment. At this level (intermediate to advanced), the goal is no longer just to "play the right notes," but to develop solid reflexes: stable pulse, controlled articulation, dynamic control, and coherent phrasing. Piano accompaniment then becomes a true training ground to strengthen independence, sound balance, and gesture consistency.
Usable both in a pedagogical setting and for independent work, this resource promotes an effective approach: establishing a clear rhythmic foundation, creating readable harmony, and supporting the musical line accurately. The "international" format allows for immediate use, regardless of your learning environment. In practice, this type of collection is particularly useful for improving reading reliability, coordination, and the ability to accompany confidently, whether for yourself, in lessons, or in ensemble playing situations.
Published in 2004, this book fits into a progression approach: refining touch, gaining precision, and working on the musicality of accompaniment (voicings, accentuation, pedal management according to your level), to achieve a more poised and expressive playing style. An excellent choice for pianists who want to turn their accompaniment into a strength, with content focused on efficiency and consolidation of skills.
