Summary of This Score

This collection offers a selection of solo piano sonatinas written in highly contrasting aesthetics to provide pianists with a rich and motivating journey. It features the clarity and balance inherited from the Classical style, more lyrical Romantic touches, atmospheres that are sometimes playful and sometimes enigmatic, as well as contemporary influences such as jazz inflections and harmonies reminiscent of gospel. Each piece constitutes excellent pedagogical material to approach form (sections, themes, repeats), develop articulation, rhythmic precision, and dynamic range, while maintaining a concrete musical goal: to tell a story at the keyboard. It is also a relevant choice for building dynamic audition programs by alternating character, energy, and colors, without straying from the "sonatina" spirit: concise, structured, and immediately rewarding to perform. The works are by Glenda Austin, Wayne Bucknor, William Gillock, Daniel Light, Phillip Keveren, Kevin Olson, Mona Rejino, Logan Evan Thomas, and Alexander Zhu.
