Masterpieces for the Modern Pianist

Description:

A modern classical piano collection of over 70 original piano solos that juxtaposes familiar pieces with lesser known gems. Popular favorites such as Chopin's Minute Waltz, Rachmaninoff's C-sharp minor prelude, the first movement of Bach's Italian Concerto, and the fast and furious 3rd movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata intermingle with lesser known but equally delightful pieces by Melanie Bonis, Cecile Chaminade, Thomas Wiggins, Rentaro Taki, and Ignacio Cervantes. The brief biographies provided of every composer also include a concise description of each piece. This thoughtfully selected 272-page collection is organized traditionally by era, and would be beneficial as a reference copy for a piano teacher, as recital or sight-reading music for an advancing piano student, and especially for an amateur or recreational pianist in search of new repertoire for perhaps the superior kind of piano playing: solitary enjoyment! The book also features a comb-bound spine so pages will always stay open.
