Remarks, other info
"This volume expressly aims at extending the repertoire of 3rd- and 4th-grade primary music students (and, of course, that of the older ones, too). Each of the 23 inventions expands and revolves around a musical idea. The short pieces inspire the children´s imagination already with their titles. Teachers and students can freely choose among pieces which require crossing hands, arpeggios, clusters, polyphony, syncopated rhythm, chromaticism, and pedalling. There are melodies with accompaniment, playing with alternate hands, playing legato and staccato, notes with appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas, jazz accents, and glissandi, too. The composer wrote unusual sound effects into a few pieces for the brave. It´s my most sincere wish for young pianists that they find joy in studying Peter Wolf´s works, and I encourage my colleagues to include pieces from this volume into their material: maybe students will also become more open to contemporary music through them." (Rita Zamenák)
