Piano Music by Women Composers: Book 1

Ausgabe für Klavier. Schwierigkeitsgrad: leicht bis mittel.

»Als ich dieses Projekt in Angriff nahm, hatte ich kaum eine Vorstellung davon, was ich finden würde. Es gab natürlich die "üblichen Verdächtigen": Komponistinnen, deren Namen und Musik sich im Laufe der Zeit bewährt haben und die vielen bekannt sind. Es gab aber auch solche, deren Namen bekannt sind, deren Musik aber nicht. Die wirklichen Unbekannten waren, nun ja, die Unbekannten. Wie viele Komponistinnen, deren Musik es wert ist, studiert und gehört zu werden, gibt es? (...) Bei der Auswahl habe ich auf Folgendes geachtet: schöne, interessante Kompositionen, von denen die Schüler profitieren und die sie gerne lernen, die die Lehrer gerne unterrichten und die das Publikum zu schätzen weiß; eine Vielfalt an Stilen, Komponistinnen und Nationalitäten; die Präsentation möglichst vieler Komponistinnen, wobei ein Gleichgewicht zwischen bekannten, weniger bekannten und unbekannten hergestellt wird.« - Immanuela Gruenberg, im Vorwort.

Diese brandneue Sammlung besteht aus zwei Bänden, wobei Buch 1 für Pianisten der oberen Grundstufe bis zur frühen Mittelstufe und Buch 2 (Artikel-Nr. 954504) für Pianisten der mittleren bis oberen Mittelstufe konzipiert ist.

»Upon embarking on this project, I had little idea of what I would find. There were, of course, the "usual suspects:" women composers whose name and whose music have stood the test of time and are familiar to many. There were also those whose names ring a bell but whose music does not. The real unknowns were, well, the unknowns. How many women composers whose music is worth studying and listening to were out there? (...) When selecting, I searched for the following: beautiful interesting compositions that students can benefit from and will love learning, teachers will enjoy teaching, and audiences will appreciate; a variety to styles, composers, and nationalities; showcasing as many composers as possible, while striking a balance between well-known, lesser know, and unknown composers.«- Immanuela Gruenberg, in the Preface.

These brand new collecions come in two volumes, with book 1 arranged for upper elementary to early intermediate pianists, and Book 2 (Item-No. 954504) arranged for intermediate to upper intermediate level pianists.
