{"product_id":"20th-century-elementary-level","title":"20TH CENTURY ELEMENTARY LEVEL","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe 20th Century\u003c\/i\u003e series presents music by some of the greatest composers of the modern era, composers who wrote a full range of music for orchestra, voices, piano and chamber ensembles, in the great and large forms. But they also valued music education, and composed interesting music to foster a stdent pianist's progress. The pieces by these composers lead a student not only to technical proficiency, but also to become a more fully formed, imaginative musician. When a great talent turns attention to writing a short piece of limited difficulty level for students, it is approached with the same aesthetics, temperament, tastes and creative invention applied when composing a symphony, opera or concerto. These exquisite miniatures are complete works of timeless art. Through them a master musician of the past indirectly teaches a progressing musician of the present and the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: \u003cb\u003eBartók\u003c\/b\u003e: Peasant Song from \u003ci\u003eTen Easy Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e • selections from \u003ci\u003eThe First Term at the Piano\u003c\/i\u003e: Stepping Stones, Invention I, Parallel Lines, Legato and Staccato, Dialogue I, Dialogue II, Dialogue III, Follow the Leader, Short and Long Legato • \u003cb\u003eKabalevsky\u003c\/b\u003e: selectionsfrom \u003ci\u003e24 Pieces for Children\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 39: Melody, Polka, Rambling, Cradle Song, Playing, Funny Event, Song, A Little Dance, Scherzo • selections from \u003ci\u003e35 Easy Pieces\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 89: First Piece, First Etude, Quiet Song, At Recess, First Waltz, Light and Shadow, Little Hedgehog, Playful One, Trumpet and Echo, Evening Song, Skipping Rope, Trumpet and Drum • \u003cb\u003eShostakovich\u003c\/b\u003e: selections from • \u003ci\u003eChildren's Notebook for Piano\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 69: March, Waltz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSchirmer Performance Editions feature composer biographies, historical notes, and practice and performance tips.","brand":"Cecere's Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41718894002242,"sku":"297094","price":20.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/1537\/5682\/files\/20TH_CENTURY_ELEMENTARY_LEVEL.png?v=1745471500","url":"https:\/\/www.ceceres.com.au\/products\/20th-century-elementary-level","provider":"Cecere's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
