Masterpieces for the Modern Pianist: A Unique Classical Collection of Favorites and Undiscovered Gems An extensive 272-page classical piano collection of original piano solos from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and early 20th Century masters 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 seldom heard but equally delightful pieces by Melanie Bonis, Cecile Chaminade, Thomas Wiggins, Rentaro Taki, and Ignacio Cervantes. The brief composer biographies also include a concise description of each piece.
This thoughtfully selected publication 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 features a comb-bound spine so pages will always stay open.
