Re-Introduction Etudes

With his Re-Introduction Etudes, Chilly Gonzales brings the joy of sitting behind a piano back to everyone: these 24 piano pieces are easy to master, fun to play, and specially designed for anyone who has tried to unravel the mysteries of music writing but has failed to do so until now.

It is recommended that you have acquired a basic level of pianism to enjoy playing these 24 etude scores. Each one focuses on technical or theoretical points necessary for musical composition and piano playing: melody, harmony, rhythm, scales, arpeggios... Chilly Gonzales teaches us how to use all this material to play today's piano, going so far as to add notions still absent from any musical dictionary!

A text by Chilly Gonzales accompanies each piece, in which he divulges his personal tips. An accompanying CD includes a recording of the 24 study pieces, so students can have the music in their heads before giving their own interpretation at the keyboard. Finally, a poster is included at the end of the book.
