Summary of This Score

This piano collection highlights the expressive and singing writing of John Field, an iconic composer of the classical keyboard repertoire. Designed for an intermediate level, it serves as an excellent resource to refine musicality while consolidating technique: melody shaping with the right hand, flexible accompaniments, balance of sound layers, and pedal control. Throughout the pages, you can work on essential aspects of piano playing such as sound continuity, dynamic shaping, phrase breathing, and tempo stability, while cultivating a personal interpretation.

Included in the Piano Collection, this volume is aimed both at students looking to advance and amateur pianists seeking an elegant and educational repertoire. The association with Franz Liszt as an artist places this collection within a demanding pianistic tradition, focused on touch quality, cantabile depth, and highlighting the musical discourse. Published in 1986, this collection offers a solid foundation for building regular practice (reading, preparation, interpretation) and complements a classical program with pieces particularly rich in expressive content.
