Biography of Larry Sitsky co-authored by Jeanell Carrigan AM and Rita Crews OAM
Not just a biography, this book traces the family history from Sitsky's childhood in China, the family's emigration to Australia, his studies at the NSW Conservatorium, the inspiration for his many works and his teaching at the Canberra School of Music, ANU of which he was a foundation member. With definite political and community views and often a controversial and outspoken figure, Larry Sitsky is one of the pre-eminent composers and performers in this country and his influence on later students and teachers has been nothing less than profound.

Century Volume I (2nd Edition)
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$45.00
A set of 47 piano pieces for beginners. 2nd Edition, edited by Hannah Th'ngThe order of pieces is there not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. At one stage, the composer did sit down with one or more teachers and arrived at a purely subjective grading for each piece. As the composer claims, it will always be contentious, but at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection. Volume I includes mostly pieces for Prep - Level I. See Volume II.

Century Volume II (2nd Edition)
By Larry Sitsky
Regular price
$45.00
A set of 52 piano pieces for intermediate grades, the second in the set of three volumes. 2nd Edition, edited by Hannah Th'ng.
These volumes address a serious artistic repertoire for beginning players, not just classical repertoire simplified. The only main-stream composer who has taken on such a task was Bartok with his MIKROKOSMOS, which gave the young pianist serious repertoire as well as drawing heavily on the folk-music sources which were close to Bartok's heart and compositional world. The order of pieces included is not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. As the composer claims that this will always be contentious, it at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection. Volume two includes mostly pieces for Levels 1 to 4. (55 pieces in Volume II mainly - Levels 2/3- 5)
Composed 1990, rev. 2024.
