Description

Glinka and Gubajdulina are the chronological cornerstones featured on the cover. But in between, youll find well-known composers (Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov, Scriabin, Kabalevsky, Shostakovich) and exciting new discoveries (Gravilin, Kossenko, Mylnikov). The result is a well-sorted mixture of “Russian Piano Music.” Russia, a land with a long pianistic tradition, is presented here in a multi-faceted way with a compelling assortment of pieces. The subtitle “Play-Experience-Enjoy” also keeps its promise: these 24 pieces, ranging from easy to moderately difficult, are supplied with extensive comments of special interest to piano teachers by the renowned pedagogue Linde Großmann.

This edition comes with an insert of commentary on each piece in both German and English.
