Gradations
33 Pieces for Solo Piano on the Innocent Side
Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes

Series: BH Piano
Format: Paperback

Gradations is music of variety, change, progression, and even growing up. It includes children's music by Bach and Bartók, first keyboard works of Mozart, and even Kabalevsky's My stubborn little brother. The publisher Boosey & Hawkes has created a most attractive lay-out for these 95 solo piano pieces, most of which are at the intermediate level...I thoroughly enjoyed the contrasting styles in each volume. All periods from the 16th-century to modern are present. The volumes include some familiar works, such as Franck's 'Doll's Complaint', but a clear majority of the pieces are new and at times refreshing.--American Music Teacher Contents: WINDSPERGER: Song Without Words · MOZART: Minuet(s) K 1(1e) · GRIEG: Ranveig, Op. 66, No. 12 · BLACHER: Prelude No. 16 · MARCELLO: Minuet (from Sonata IV) · HELLER: Allegretto, Op. 47, No. 1 · BERNSTEIN: for Susanna Kyle · ZILCHER: A Song of Happiness · HAYDN: Minuet and trio (from Divertimento Hob.
