Upper Elementary to Lower Intermediate Level. Par . 'Upon embarking on this project, I had little idea of what I would find. There were, of course, the 'usual suspects:' women composers whose name and whose music have stood the test of time and are familiar to many. There were also those whose names ring a bell but whose music does not. The real unknowns were, well, the unknowns. How many women composers whose music is worth studying and listening to were out there' (...) When selecting, I searched for the following: beautiful interesting compositions that students can benefit from and will love learning, teachers will enjoy teaching, and audiences will appreciate; a variety to styles, composers, and nationalities; showcasing as many composers as possible, while striking a balance between well-known, lesser know, and unknown composers.' - Immanuela Gruenberg, in the Preface. These brand new collecions come in two volumes, with book 1 arranged for upper elementary to early intermediate pianists, and Book 2 arranged for intermediate to upper intermediate level pianists. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Piano

pour piano. Par LENS NICHOLAS. The Belgian composer Nicholas Lens presents extremely varied etudes, exercises and simple phrases with wonderfully telling titles from poetry and everyday world for children and adults. For the most part the studies are tonal and simple and have no constructed line. They are not based on any educational concept but leave the musical dramatization to the pupils and teachers: 'Notes and rhythms are just notes and rhythms, they do not have that many rules, they do not have any pretension, they are just tools for you to use to express what you want to share'. / Date parution : 2016-11-20/ Etude / Piano

Par VANDE GINSTE STEPHANE. On January 1st, 2016, Stephane Vande Ginste had an extraordinary intention: he planned to compose a 1-minute piece for piano every single day for the whole year. The result is an impressive collection of piano miniatures which - although contemporary - result in a variety of musical styles: apart from some experimental pieces, there are jazzy- and poppy pieces, more traditional 'etudes', polyphonic compositions and so on... The 366 pieces also tell various stories: from very emotional events like the terrorist attacks in Brussels over homages in honor of deceased artists (David Bowie,...) to birthdays and festive occasions,... . More than once, even poetry (Heinrich Heine,Anna Enquist, ..) or other pieces of art inspired Stephane to compose his daily one-minute piece. Every single composition originated from the 'here and now', and therefore capture the unfiltered feelings and emotions of that very unique moment in time: joy, enthusiasm, but also melancholy and sadness.

Par STEFANELLI MATTHIEU. Le cycle Ombres chinoises - 7 études pantomimes a été composé entre 2016 et 2017, puis créé par le compositeur le 18 avril 2018 à l'Auditorium de Salon-de-Provence après une journée de masterclass donnée aux élèves du Conservatoire de la ville. Il est la suite logique des Jeux de mime (consacré aux premiers cycles) et prolonge cette idée : résoudre des difficultés techniques par la gestuelle avec du théâtre musical. Chaque étude est dédiée à un ami pianiste concertiste. Elles sont toutes consacrées à des aspects techniques en particulier : pour les secondes et l'ostinato, pour les mains séparées, pour les agrégats et les arpèges, pour les articulations opposées et les alternés, étude de rythme et de déplacements,... Le niveau de difficulté est croissant et commence par le début de deuxième cycle pour finir par une étude de virtuosité./ Etude / Piano
