Une brève histoire du piano 7

The fruit of a great deal of personal piano research and years of teaching experience, A Brief History of the Piano offers a repertoire for all piano lovers.

This seventh book offers 17 short works, from easy to difficult, which form a complete cycle, like a suite, like a concert. While some of the titles can be played perfectly separately, the whole nevertheless forms an overall dramatic journey, a great crescendo from amusing pieces to more profound and virtuosic pieces, culminating in a masterly Epilogue.

Eight other books are offered separately, detailed below.

Divided into 9 books, the 300 original works are approached in a progressive manner, covering a variety of aesthetics, techniques and playing styles, and inspired by different periods, countries and styles... each student is offered a personal perspective, designed to develop an open mind.

Besides its pedagogical aspect, this book is above all an artistic project whose main aim is to enable beginner pianists, children, young people, adults or more experienced musicians, perhaps future professionals, to play, play and play the piano... in comfort!

The fruit of a great deal of personal piano research and years of teaching experience, Une Brève Histoire du Piano offers a repertoire for all piano lovers.
