Par MOLODYNSKA-WHEELER MARTA. The name of this collection reflects the diverse character and international provenance of the pieces. Each of them is a ?representative? of a different country and a different musical culture, and therefore provides an excellent opportunity for performers to face different musical genres. Poligrajki are intended for young pianists who want to improve their skills in the field of playing in a piano duo. When writing them, my aim was to create compositions where the technical and interpretation requirements will be well-suited for the abilities of piano students in music schools and will constitute a teaching material referring to the theoretical knowledge of the stylistic differences across the countries. I hope the performers will enjoy Poligrajki and that their sounds will reach every corner of the world! Marta Molodynska-Wheeler / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Recueil / Piano 4 Mains

Everybody knows it, and for many a player it was perhaps the first tentative attempt to coax sounds out of the piano: Chopsticks. The origin of this popular piano piece, like that of most folksongs, cannot be ultimately settled today. Legend has it that it was written by Ferdinand Loh and that the designation of the work 'F. Loh: Walzer' eventually turned into 'Flohwalzer'.But no matter who actually wrote the waltz: It is, without doubt, one of the most famous piano pieces and known all over the world. In France, it is called 'Côtelettes' [Chops], in Great Britain 'Chopsticks', and in Mexico 'Los Changuitos' (Little Monkeys). Technically speaking, however, it is not even a waltz. It is composed in 2/4 time and, with regard to style, rather is a polka or a galop.Eric Mayr transcribed the 16-bar original into a concert version for piano duet. / Piano 4 Mains
