for recorder players-This publication is designed to arouse interest in contemporary music and create a personal relationship with unconventional forms of music and music-making among the age group most receptive to these that is elementary school children. The pieces that feature in it are in widely differing styles and by composers of different ages and levels of recognition: János Bali Ádám Kondor Gábor Kósa György Kurtág Jr. Csaba Laurán Dóra Pétery Vera Rönkös László Sáry András Soós Máté Szigeti and Péter Tornyai. Although'creativity' plays a central role this volume is not intended for training professional composers but merely to encourage children to engage in the life-giving and pleasurable activities of listening to and forming sounds. It is however an invaluable introduction to avant-garde music for recorder players at any level!
