Piano Progressions Anthology Two
By Katie Zhukov
Regular price
$50.00
Grades 3 to 6
32 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian composers.
New repertoire for Piano Progressions was commissioned from Australian male and female composers to celebrate 10 years since the release of Wirripang Australian Piano Anthology in 2011. The first anthology consisted of three books, with 46 new works from Grade One to Diploma level. The success of this publication had led to two Australian Women Composers’ Anthologies in 2015 and 2019 and a third in 2021, all aiming at intermediate-to-advanced piano students. The feedback from teachers indicated the need for more repertoire at beginner-to-intermediate level, resulting in the two books of Piano Progressions that provide fresh teaching materials from Preliminary to Grade 6 level.

Sonatina

Regular price

Cor anglais and piano, c.5'00- Grade: 6
- Tempo: Moderato e scherzando; crotchet = 92
- Genre: Neo-classical
- Composition Date: 2006
The juxtaposition of usual chords in unexpected ways for such a tonal work adds to the comic effect of this work, as does the combination of the articulations: staccato, accents and slurs and the strong sense of harmony, a rhythmic drive imbues the piece.
Recorded on bu Rachel Tolmie, cor anglais, and John Martin, piano, On the Sorrow of War (Wirr 053) available online. https://www.australiancomposers.com.au/products/on-the-sorrow-of-war-cd
