By Alexander Rosenblatt
For young virtuosos with small hands

Rosenblatt’s “8 Etudes in Jazz Style” are the result of his cooperation with the pianist Michael Bischoffberger. All pieces are devoted to the development of the pianist’s basic technical skills: with scales, arpeggios, double notes, chord technique, cantilena and sustain pedaling skill. However, the pieces only use intervals smaller than the octave, the septima is the largest interval. The pieces are excellent for teaching and they sound absolutely “adult”, bright and “fresh” because of the Jazz based style of the music.

Sound Sketches by Graham Lynch

“Sound Sketches is an exciting and innovative series of graded piano pieces that will appeal to pianists of all ages and abilities. These pieces are varied in character, and each one opens up an imaginative world of colours and textures for players to explore. These ‘sound images’ are evoked through strong melodic ideas which hide their technical challenges within a sense of the delight that can be had from conjuring music from the keyboard.”
