Early Piano Music. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. These previously unpublished piano pieces will appear in print for the first time in three volumes. Volume I contains fairly short individual pieces (1872-83) of widely varying difficulty. Volume II will contain four Sonatinas in several movements and a Fantasia (1874), which is about as demanding as the Sonatinas of Kuhlau and Clementi or early pieces by Mozart. Volume III contains two Sonatas (1877 and 1879) and a cycle of variations (1884) whose technical demands approach those of the Beethoven Sonatas. The tonal language of the young Richard Strauss was still firmly under the influence of nineteenth-Century traditions, with the figures of Schubert, Mendelssohn and Schumann dominating the musical landscape. The wealth of different forms and the varying levels of difficulty in Strauss’ early piano music make it well suited for teaching purposes; admirers and connoisseurs of Strauss’ music may also discover a few surprises here./ Recueil / Piano

Book 2. Par SMITH RICHARD. Richard Smith 's My Piano, My Body And Me - Book 2 develops the holistic approach to technique, musicianship and interpretation adopted in the first publication. This book is suitable for students at an intermediate level and covers music from different periods. It charts the Piano's development, showing how the larger instruments that emerged at the end of the 19th century made different physical and mental demands on performers. Pianists today are playing very different instruments to their predecessors. This demands close consideration when performing music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20thcentury.Why should I approach Baroque music differently to that written in the Romantic period? What is direct pedalling....and finger pedalling? How do I play and count unusual time signatures? These are all questions that My Piano, My Body And Me - Book 2 will answer. This book is equally instructive and illuminating as its predecessor and contains another selection of inspiring, imaginative pieces specifically written to practise particular skills and techniques - e.g. grace notes ('Kestrel'), the una corda pedal ('Serenity'), compound time ('Loving Living') and unusual time signatures ('All in Good Time'). / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Pédagogie / Etude / Piano
