B. Heller: Playing with Fifths for Piano

Composer: Barbara Heller (1936-) Instrumentation: Piano Binding: Paperback ISMN: 9790004181577 Size: 9.1 x 12.0 inches Pages: 44 Description Barbara Heller's piano pieces should not just be played; as the composer writes in her preface, the student should learn while playing "to approach the music creatively and experimentally." "You can change the pieces at will and even shape your own personal pieces from the material. We hope that these pieces will help you to discover your own musical world within yourselves, and to let yourselves and others hear its sound." The composer offers a wealth of stimuli and suggestions to help the learner achieve this. Monika Thiery's supplementary comments facilitate the use of the 18 pieces in teaching.
