Finer in Minor
33 Original Pieces for Piano
Martina Schneider (ill.)
[pno]
The editors of the “Keyboard Crocodile” have delved into music history’s treasure chest of piano literature and come up with some gems in the “minor” mode that offer “major” enjoyment.
Audio tracks, performed by Aki Sakae, are to be found on YouTube.
The companion booklet “Toll in Dur” is EB 8936.
Description
The new Finer in Minor
With beautiful, easy to moderately difficult, familiar and above all not so familiar pieces, our bestseller Finer in Minor has now been a companion for many generations on their way to the wonderful works of major piano literature.
In the meantime, the sister edition Greater in Major (EB 8936) expands the sound palette, showing that playing the piano in a major key is, of course, just as beautiful as playing in a minor key!
In the course of preparing it, the desire for freshness and renewal of the well-established minor-key edition developed. Editors and publishing house finally gave in and decided on a revised and expanded new edition. The outer appearance has been adapted to its major-key twin, and inside the edition, things look new and different, too. New composers and even more pieces expand the range of minor-key music to include new worlds of sound and feeling.
Thus, playing the piano is simply great – with Greater in Major and Finer in Minor!
Voices to the 1st edition:
“It is a good collection of easy pieces and well edited.” (Music Teacher)
“The publisher began with a novel idea and invested their faith in its success by producing a bright, colorful album that will easily catch the eye of the potential buyer.” (Trevor Barnard, Music Teacher)
