Jakub Metelka

Puppet Theatre

Jakub Metelka (born 1986), who enjoys international recognition with his piano albums for advanced beginners ("The Secret Garden", "The Little Virtuoso", "Modern Piano Etudes"), addresses pianists who have enjoyed piano lessons for about two years with his latest collection "The Puppet Theatre". This makes the album Metelka's simplest contribution to the beginner's repertoire for piano to date and can be understood as the "predecessor" of "The Little Virtuoso".

The twenty miniatures, written in simple song form, captivate with appealing, simply harmonized melodies that testify to Metelka's natural musicality and inventiveness. With these pieces, he knows how to respond to the emotional world of children and to promote their musical imagination. At the same time, the original miniatures also appeal to older beginners.

The titles from the world of fairy tales reflect the moods of the individual pieces and stimulate the imagination. Students and teachers have the opportunity to determine the sequence of the plays themselves and create their own "puppet theater", possibly even a small story.
