Intermediate to Upper Intermediate Level. Par . 'Upon embarking on this project, I had little idea of what I would find. There were, of course, the 'usual suspects:' women composers whose name and whose music have stood the test of time and are familiar to many. There were also those whose names ring a bell but whose music does not. The real unknowns were, well, the unknowns. How many women composers whose music is worth studying and listening to were out there? (...) When selecting, I searched for the following: beautiful interesting compositions that students can benefit from and will love learning, teachers will enjoy teaching, and audiences will appreciate; a variety to styles, composers, and nationalities; showcasing as many composers as possible, while striking a balance between well-known, lesser know, and unknown composers.' - Immanuela Gruenberg, in the Preface. These brand new collecions come in two volumes, with book 1 arranged for upper elementary to early intermediate pianists, and Book 2 arranged for intermediate to upper intermediate level pianists. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Piano

Czechoslovakia has a rich and diverse heritage of folk-tunes many of which have a vigorous quality that is particularly attractive to young pianists. These fifty-two pieces are selected from a volume of one hundred by the distinguished Czech composer Petr Eben originally published in Prague. The tunes are given simple but inventive arrangements which often illustrate their descriptive titles. They are carefully graded (Grades 1-3) progressively introducing new technical elements. Petr Eben born in South Bohemia in 1929 has pursued a notable teaching career at Charles University Prague alongside his principalactivities as composer and pianist. His concern for young musicians is reflected in his Czech adaptation of Orff's Schulwerk and a large number of compositions for children. His creative arrangements of folk-tunes have already proved a great success with Piano teachers and pupils in Czechoslovakia; they will delight all those who enjoy for example the Bartok and Kodaly arrangements of East European folk material. Included in ABRSM Piano Grade 1 & 2 Syllabus 2017-2018 alternative pieces.
