'Stucke fur
die Jugend' intends to
carefully introduce the
piano pupils to new
music. At the time that
the piano pieces were
created in 1927, Joseph
Haas sat on the jury at
the Donaueschingen Music
Festival together with
Paul Hindemith. In his
typical manner, the
pieces looked forward to
the future without
burning bridges to the
past. The stylistic
elements to be mentioned
in particular are the
sparing use of harmonies
which give special
emphasis to the linear,
the staccato, the
arpeggios, and the
frequently used
progressions of fourths.
The influence of his
teacher Max Reger can be
noticed as well from time
to time.The rhythmic
energies running through
the pieces are of great
appeal and educational
value.This new edition
combines the pieces
originally published in
two volumes in one
volume.
