Piano Times, Volume 2

The fantastic four-page comics in the centerfold makes this collection of 20th century intermediate-level pieces unique! The comics are artistically beautiful, presented on four-color glossy paper, and highlight important events in 20th century music. Events presented include impressionism-expressionism, music after 1945, and jazz. Surrounding the comics are 16 intermediate-level piano pieces by a variety of 20th century composers including Bartok, Kabalevsky, and Cornick. The entire collection gives the young pianist a taste of the many genres and styles that emerged in the 20th century - and enables students to experience and delight in it for themselves, as performers of this fascinating music.
