Pianoworks Collection 1 is packed with attractive repertoire for any beginner pianist. It includes favourite melodies from the Classical and Romantic repertoire, with themes from Handel's Water Music, Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet, and the waltz from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty; timeless popular songs, such as Aura Lee-a ballad written during the American Civil War and popularized by Elvis Presley in the film Love me Tender; show tunes such as 'The Policeman's Song' from The Pirates of Penzance; some contemporary classical repertoire; and new compositions. All pieces are carefully selected and edited by Janet and Alan Bullard, and short notes are provided for each giving technical tips, musical background, and ideas for interpretation. This is the perfect companion volume to Pianoworks Book 1.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The actual teaching book costs GBP9.95 and comes with a CD of example performances and backing tracks. Couple this with a beautiful repertoire book at only GBP6.95 and you have a fine package designed to stimulate and train beginners from the age of about 13 upwards. It incorporates all sorts of music and is presented in an attractive, unpatronising and adult manner. The Bullards have exemplary credentials and I admire the way they have gone about this difficult task. * John York, Piano Sept 2007 * The companion volume, Pianoworks Collection 1, provides an enterprising mixture of 30 more pieces that supplement the tutorial book, and informative annotations at the end of each piece help to improve the player's understanding of the music. * Pianist, October 07 *
