Book Summary
"I look back and wonder how my imagination might have taken flight with these pieces on my piano," says Jeneba Kanneh-Mason: this sentence perfectly captures the spirit of this collection, designed as a celebration of the piano repertoire and an invitation to explore rich, expressive and contrasting sound worlds. Written for solo piano, the book brings together a refined collection of works presented in progressive order, guiding pianists step by step without compromising artistic standards.
Throughout the pages, you will find pieces by Florence Price, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Cécile Chaminade, Robert Nathaniel Dett, Elisabetta de Gambarini, and many others. This diversity of composers and styles provides an opportunity to develop essential piano skills: articulation and phrasing, balance between contrasting musical layers, inner singing, harmonic colours, rubato control, and the construction of a coherent interpretation. Each work thus becomes a practical learning experience, focused on sound, technique and musical intention.
Going beyond a simple compilation of scores, the collection draws on composers' notes and offers pedagogical guidance and performance suggestions developed by Andrew Eales and Jack Pepper. The objective is clear: to help pianists understand the language of each piece, anticipate potential challenges (inner voices, broken-chord accompaniments, dynamics, pedalling), and develop an active approach to reading. This makes it an especially valuable choice for enriching a lesson programme, preparing for a performance, or simply nurturing the musical imagination with works that inspire you to play.
