Pieces drawn from a wide range of periods and styles, creating intriguing juxtapositions of pieces by well-known and lesser-known composers. Bernstein's tribute to Sondheim rubs shoulders with Erik Satie; Mozart and Tchaikovsky are represented alongside their contemporaries Kozeluh and Cui. "The publisher Boosey & Hawkes has created a most attractive lay-out for these 95 solo piano pieces, most of which are at the intermediate level...I thoroughly enjoyed the contrasting styles in each volume. All periods from the 16th-century to modern are present. The volumes include some familiar works, such as Franck's 'Doll's Complaint', but a clear majority of the pieces are new and at times refreshing."--American Music Teacher Contents: A Rest by the Brooklet (Benjamin) * Adagio for Glass Harmonica (Mozart) * Albumleaf (Schwertsik) * At Dawn (Scott) * At the Cradle (Cui) * Barncleupedie (MacMillan) * Cantabile (Bach) * Danses de Travers No. 2 (Satie) * Evening Song (Schumann) * Farewell (Bartok) * For Neil (MacMillan) * For Stephen Sondheim (Bernstein) * Forest Lullaby (Quilter) * Gone (Grieg) * Grey Clouds (Liszt) * Melody in the Mist 25 (Bartok) * Nocturne No. 1 (Rowley) * October (Tchaikovsky) * Pastorale (Kozeluh) * Pensees Lyriques, Op. 11, No. 2 (Bortkiewicz) * Piano Piece No. 17 (Davies) * Piano Piece No. 14 (Davies) * Prelude, Op. 16, No. 3 (Skryabin) * Quiet Contemplation on an Autumn Evening (Bruckner) * Sonata No. 13 (Cimarosa) * Visions Fugitives, Op. 22, No. 4 (Prokofiev) * Waltz No. 2 from Five Piano Pieces (Delius).
