Summary of This Score
This piano score brings together a suite of brief, evocative, and highly contrasting pieces, conceived as little character scenes. The working edition published under Alfred Cortot's direction emphasizes musical understanding, touch finesse, and phrasing quality, helping the pianist move beyond mere reading toward expressive and coherent interpretation.
The deliberately evocative titles guide the playing intention and invite work on tone color, dynamics, and phrasing breath. The atmospheres range from dreamy, intimate, playful to more solemn, making it an excellent resource to develop musicality, inner listening, and storytelling at the piano. Thanks to their concise format, these pieces easily fit into a practice session (setup, detail work, sound production) and also allow for composing a very effective sequence of miniatures for performance.
Separate Titles: From Distant Lands - Curious Story - Blind Man's Buff - Child's Desire - Perfect Happiness - Important Event - Reverie - By the Fireside - On the Wooden Horse - Almost Too Serious - To Frighten - The Child Falls Asleep
