But they also valued music education, and composed interesting music to foster a stdent pianist's progress. The pieces by these composers lead a student not only to technical proficiency, but also to become a more fully formed, imaginative musician. When a great talent turns attention to writing a short piece of limited difficulty level for students, it is approached with the same aesthetics, temperament, tastes and creative invention applied when composing a symphony, opera or concerto. These exquisite miniatures are complete works of timeless art. Through them a master musician of the past indirectly teaches a progressing musician of the present and the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: \u003cb\u003eBartók\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003eFor Children\u003c\/i\u003e: Children's Song, Happy Thoughts, Sorrow • selections from \u003ci\u003eThe First Term at the Piano\u003c\/i\u003e: Crescendos, Folksong, Hungarian Folksong, Walking • \u003cb\u003eBolcom\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003eMonsterpieces (and Others)\u003c\/i\u003e: The Bad Mister, Badminton, The Plaid Miss • \u003cb\u003eDello Joio\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003eSuite for the Young\u003c\/i\u003e: Little Sister, Mountain Melody • \u003cb\u003eDiamond\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003eEight Piano Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e: Jumping Jacks, Pease-Porridge Hot • \u003cb\u003eGould\u003c\/b\u003e: The Missing Beat from \u003ci\u003eAt the Piano\u003c\/i\u003e, Book 1 • Loud and Soft from \u003ci\u003eTen for Deborah\u003c\/i\u003e • \u003cb\u003eKabalevsky\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003e30 Pieces for Children\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 27: Waltz, A Little Song • selections from \u003ci\u003e24 Pieces for Children\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 39: Waltz, Jumping, Folk Dance, Clowns • selections from \u003ci\u003e35 Easy Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 89: The Shrew, Little Goat Limping, The Little Harpist, Stubborn Little Brother • \u003cb\u003ePinto\u003c\/b\u003e: Minuet from \u003ci\u003eChildren's Festival\u003c\/i\u003e • \u003cb\u003eShostakovich\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from \u003ci\u003eChildren's Notebook for Piano\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 69: The Bear, Merry Tale, Sad Tale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchirmer Performance Editions feature composer biographies, historical notes, and practice and performance tips.","brand":"G.
