Petéri: Child Prodigy Composers 2

Informatie

This is a sequel to the highly successful publication entitled Child Prodigy Composers (EMB Z.14773). In this second volume the majority of the pieces are works recommended for pupils in the upper music school classes, and indeed some can be used successfully in secondary level teaching as well. Here too, most of the compositions were written before the age of 14 - it is amazing what a highly developed piano technique some of these young composers already possessed at the age of 13 or 14! In addition to Muzio Clementi's A flat major sonata, the Allemandes by Carl Maria von Weber, Schubert's surprisingly mature C minor fantasia, the prodigiously talented Clara Schumann's two polanaises, Mussorgsky's brilliant polka, a sensitive waltz by Scriabin and Borodin's showy (but not difficult) four-hand polka, this volume also contains works by a Hungarian composer: the hitherto unpublished mazurkas by Ernő Dohnányi, written at the age of 11 and 12
