These are the first pieces I have composed for solo piano. Many of the sounds, patterns and ideas within them have been in my mind and under my hands for a long time. The brief pieces variously include performance directions like “intimate”, “spacious”, “with childlike simplicity”, “as if improvising”. Each one seems to me now like a specific memory of an image, a sensation of place, a significant encounter, or a moment of vivid perception. I wanted above all to convey each musical image as clearly and directly as possible, and to write for the piano in a focused, uncluttered, personal way.

The Eight Etudes op. 42 by Alexander Scriabin were composed during a phase of great productivity. For many years, teaching commitments had hampered the composer. Gradually, he was able to dispose of these tasks. Thus, from 1903 he finally had more time to compose, including, among other things, the Etudes op. 42. They are now available as a Henle Urtext edition, for which both the first edition as well as the variants of the edition published after Scriabin's death by his friend and colleague Nikolai Zhilyayev were carefully evaluated. The fingerings are by Boris Giltburg. With Etude no. V, the edition contains a perennial favourite of the virtuoso repertoire. Scriabin himself spoke of it as “an étude that surpasses the Third Symphony in power and grandeur”.

Béla Bartók (1881-1945) is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinguished and influential composers of the twentieth century. Born in Hungary to a musical family, he became a leading international concert pianist and educator, studying and later teaching at the Budapest Royal Academy of Music. A pioneering ethnomusicologist, Bartók collected thousands of folk songs during his travels across central Europe. Their influence can be traced throughout his compositional canon including such seminal concert works as Violin Concerto No 2 (1937-38) and Concerto for Orchestra (1943).
The Definitive Bartók Edition brings together selected highlights from the definitive imprints of pedagogical masterpieces Mikrokosmos (1926-1937) and For Children (1908-09, revised 1943) alongside excerpts from Romanian Folk Dances (1915) and Romanian Christmas Carols (1915) in two companion volumes for the very first time.

This unique collection features 19 pieces by Eugenie Rocherolle (1936-2025) written in her nearly two decades as an exclusive composer for Hal Leonard. Most were selected by the composer herself. Her music was often inspired by her birthplace, the great city of New Orleans, as well as Paris and the beautiful French countryside. Although her publishing career began with choral and band music, her teaching expertise, combined with her pianistic instincts soon propelled her to be one of the top educational piano composers of her generation. Two pieces - Memories and October Swing - were composed especially for this collection.

Los pequeños alumnos se divertirán con los “amigos en el piano” quienes nos muestran los nombres de las teclas blancas, rítmicas básicas y una variedad de canciones de estilos clásico, folclórico e incluso blues. El entrenamiento auditivo así como el seguimiento con la vista de las partituras forman parte del método de trabajo.
El enfoque de enseñanza “ACE” (análisis, creatividad y expresividad) son la guía de la pedagogía de My First Piano Adventure®. El análisis nos lleva al entendimiento, la creatividad nos lleva al descrubrimiento y la expresividad desarrolla las habilidades artísticas.
Las pistas de audio de este libro ofrecen una experiencia única de escucha con orquestaciones y voces maravillosas. Estas grabaciones demuestran el fundamento principal de la metodología: cuando los niños escuchan, cantan, marcan los ritmos y se mueven con la música, tocan con mayor musicalidad.
El niño puede escuchar todas las pistas de principio a fin en casa o en el auto. Las pistas de las canciones asignadas como tarea se pueden escuchar repetidamente, cantando la letra, señalando las notas, marcando el ritmo, etc. Las pistas de audio incluso pueden usarse como acompañamientos una vez que el alumno ha aprendido la canción. ¡Escucha, canta y disfruta!
