{"product_id":"the-20th-century-elementary-level","title":"The 20th Century - Elementary Level","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;The 20th Century\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt; 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.\u0026amp;lt;br\u0026amp;gt;\u0026amp;lt;br\u0026amp;gt;Contents: \u0026amp;lt;b\u0026amp;gt;Bart\u0026amp;amp;oacute;k\u0026amp;lt;\/b\u0026amp;gt;: Peasant Song from \u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;Ten Easy Pieces\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt; \u0026amp;amp;bull; selections from \u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;The First Term at the Piano\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt;: Stepping Stones, Invention I, Parallel Lines, Legato and Staccato, Dialogue I, Dialogue II, Dialogue III, Follow the Leader, Short and Long Legato \u0026amp;amp;bull; \u0026amp;lt;b\u0026amp;gt;Kabalevsky\u0026amp;lt;\/b\u0026amp;gt;: selectionsfrom \u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;24 Pieces for Children\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt;, Op. 39: Melody, Polka, Rambling, Cradle Song, Playing, Funny Event, Song, A Little Dance, Scherzo \u0026amp;amp;bull; selections from \u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;35 Easy Pieces\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt;, 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 \u0026amp;amp;bull; \u0026amp;lt;b\u0026amp;gt;Shostakovich\u0026amp;lt;\/b\u0026amp;gt;: selections from \u0026amp;amp;bull; \u0026amp;lt;i\u0026amp;gt;Children's Notebook for Piano\u0026amp;lt;\/i\u0026amp;gt;, Op. 69: March, Waltz.\u0026amp;lt;br\u0026amp;gt;\u0026amp;lt;br\u0026amp;gt;Schirmer Performance Editions feature composer biographies, historical notes, and practice and performance tips.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G.
