The new RSL Classical Piano syllabus aims to reflect the widening tastes of young people, positioning itself at the forefront of the vast 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. 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./ Recueil / Piano

Three Études for Piano by Nico Muhly. “In preparation for writing a large (uncompleted) work for piano I decided to write three short pieces to get certain musical tics out of my system. Each of these three études addresses a specific rhythmic and harmonic gesture: the first Ostinati focuses on a gently lilting left hand contrasted with angular outbursts in the right hand usually in octaves. The second étude “Quiet Music ” concerns itself with drones and chant-like music and the third “Running ” explores slowly shifting harmonies pitted against very fast cross-hand playing.” –Nico Muhly 2003 These three études were written from January to March 2003 and were composed partially for performance in the VisionIntoArt/RockHotelPianoFest in New York City. Étude #3 (“Running”) was premiered by Eric Huebner and is dedicated to him.
