Schott Tempo! Tempo! Schott Series Softcover Composed by Various Edited by Monika Twelsiek

Description

40 fast and wild pieces from the Baroque to modern era. Music by Bach, Burgmller, Clementi, Czerny, Grieg, Handel, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and others. Challenging the tempo-loving pianist, this large collection of etudes, scherzos, variations and very lively character pieces are a treasure trove for piano lessons. Twelsiek (editor of this Schott Piano Classic Edition) selected these pieces because of their fast tempos, but she considered pieces that would provide a musical array that will stimulate a student’s technical development and execution and sense of imagery. The repertoire includes composers from the baroque to the modern eras…I look forward to helping my students consider how ‘Allegro’ and ‘Presto’ can conjure many more ideas than ‘fast!’–American Music Teacher
