Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 33 "cheerful, witty, exhilarating" pieces: fast, joyful, lively, sometimes mischievous, always aimed at lively and expressive playing. The announced particularity is clear: here, only the major mode is featured, for a tonic, brilliant, and motivating program, as enjoyable to practice as to share in performance.
The selection spans eras and aesthetics: it includes Telemann and Scarlatti, Bach, Haydn, and Mozart, then Beethoven and Schubert, not forgetting Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Albéniz, Debussy, and Joplin. The collection also opens to more modern writings with Prokofieff, Gershwin, Poulenc, Seiber, Shostakovich, as well as contemporary pieces (Puetz, Nevada, Weiss, Schoenmehl) with "dance-like," "cheeky," or more dreamy atmospheres.
Ideal for enriching a sheet music library, this book allows working on rhythm, articulation, momentum, color, and sense of style, with pieces that immediately catch the ear. An excellent option for pianists seeking a varied, positive, and decidedly musical repertoire.
