Contemplations

27 Pieces for Solo Piano on the Quiet Side
Pieces drawn from a wide range of periods and styles, creating intriguing juxtapositions of pieces by well-known and lesser-known composers. Bernstein’s tribute to Sondheim rubs shoulders with Erik Satie; Mozart and Tchaikovsky are represented alongside their contemporaries Kozeluh and Cui. The publisher Boosey & Hawkes has created a most attractive lay-out for these 95 solo piano pieces, most of which are at the intermediate level…I thoroughly enjoyed the contrasting styles in each volume. All periods from the 16th-century to modern are present. The volumes include some familiar works, such as Franck’s ‘Doll’s Complaint’, but a clear majority of the pieces are new and at times refreshing.–American Music Teacher Contents: A Rest by the Brooklet (Benjamin) · Adagio for Glass Harmonica (Mozart) · Albumleaf (Schwertsik) · At Dawn (Scott) · At the Cradle (Cui) · Barncleupedie (MacMillan) · Cantabile (Bach) · Danses de Travers No. 2 (Satie) · Evening Song (Schumann) · Farewell (Bartok) · For Neil (MacMillan) · For Stephen Sondheim (Bernstein) · Forest Lullaby (Quilter) · Gone (Grieg) · Grey Clouds (Liszt) · Melody in the Mist 25 (Bartok) · Nocturne No. 1 (Rowley) · October (Tchaikovsky) · Pastorale (Kozeluh) · Pensees Lyriques, Op. 11, No. 2 (Bortkiewicz) · Piano Piece No. 17 (Davies) · Piano Piece No. 14 (Davies) · Prelude, Op. 16, No. 3 (Skryabin) · Quiet Contemplation on an Autumn Evening (Bruckner) · Sonata No. 13 (Cimarosa) · Visions Fugitives, Op. 22, No. 4 (Prokofiev) · Waltz No. 2 from Five Piano Pieces (Delius)
