The new RSL Classical Piano syllabus aims to reflect the widening tastes of young people, positioning itself at the forefront of thevast array of music available to pianists, encompassing the rich heritage of music from the Baroque right through to the modern day and emerging composers. The repertoire strikes a balance between a radical redesign and maintaining a recognisable structure, and sticks to four key principles: championing ethnically diverse composers, representing genders, acknowledging the history and tradition of piano learning, and enabling students to feel comfortable studying music in a popular and classical environment. The syllabus books are all beautifully presented, and to the high standard for which RSL books have become renowned from their market-leading Rockschool examinations for contemporary music. Each contains 10 pieces from a diverse range of composers and include everything students need to take their exams, including technical exercises and supporting texts for sight-reading, ear tests and general musicianship questions.

The recordings for this CD were originally intended for Demo-CD for the Piano Masterworks book for advanced pianists. There is however certainly a wider audience for this beautiful music than just among those who play the pieces themselves. The recordings are therefore now available in this separate CD edition.

Die Aufnahmen für die CD Piano Masterworks waren in erster Linie für eine Demo-CD zu dem gleichnamigen Notenheft für fortgeschrittene Klavierspieler gedacht. Es gibt jedoch sicherlich sehr viele Menschen, die diese schönen Musikstücke gerne anhören möchten, aber nicht selbst spielen können. Daher sind die Aufnahmen auch in dieser separaten CD-Ausgabe erhältlich.
