The New International Edition of Suzuki Piano School, Volume 2
includes French, German and Spanish translations, new Romantic and
20th-century pieces, as well as a newly recorded CD performed by
internationally renowned recording artist Seizo Azuma. Now the book
and CD can be purchased together or separately. The contents have
changed slightly with minimal reordering of the music. The Mozart
Minuet and Bach Musette from the earlier edition were eliminated
and replaced with two new 20th-century pieces by BartA3k (noted
below), and the Bach "Minuet in G Minor" (from J. S. Bachas
Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach) has been moved to Volume 3. Other
improvements include a cleaner appearance with less editing and
spacious new engravings, as well as more detailed titles that
include the keys, sources, composer dates, and catalog numbers.

Me and My Piano Part 1 takes the young pianist step-by-step through
the early stages of piano technique, first with separate hands,
then with a sequence of very easy pieces for hands together. All
pieces use a constant five finger hand position in the key of C
major. Games and puzzles give elementary theory a new lease of
life, and children will love the rhymes and songs introducing
characters such the Ostrich, Sammy Squirrel and the Old Man with
the Beard! Fanny Waterman and Marion Harewood's Me And My Piano
Series is probably the UK's most widely-used and biggest selling
piano method. It is now published in a new edition including a new
larger size, improved layout making it easier to read, a clean new
look with new typesetting and music-setting and the instantly
recognisable cover designs have been updated for extra vibrancy.
Enchantingly illustrated, in full-colour throughout, this essential
and irresistible book will encourage the young pianist to expand
his or her learning in the most enjoyable way.
This book explores historical and cultural aspects of modern and
contemporary Bengal through the performance-centred study of a
particular repertoire: the songs of the saint-composer Bhaba Pagla
(1902-1984), who is particularly revered among Baul and Fakir
singers. The author shows how songs, if examined as 'sacred
scriptures', represent multi-dimensional texts for the study of
South Asian religions. Revealing how previous studies about Bauls
mirror the history of folkloristics in Bengal, this book presents
sacred songs as a precious symbolic capital for a marginalized
community of dislocated and unorthodox Hindus, who consider the
practice of singing in itself an integral part of the path towards
self-realization.
Silent Films/Loud Music discusses contemporary scores for silent
film as a rich vehicle for experimentation in the relationship
between music, image, and narrative. Johnston offers an overview of
the early history of music for silent film paired with his own
first-hand view of the craft of creating new original scores for
historical silent films: a unique form crossing musical boundaries
of classical, jazz, rock, electronic, and folk. As the first book
completely devoted to the study of contemporary scores for silent
film, it tells the story of the historical and creative evolution
of this art form and features an extended discussion and analysis
of some of the most creative works of contemporary silent film
scoring. Johnston draws upon his own career in both contemporary
film music (working with directors Paul Mazursky, Henry Bean,
Philip Haas and Doris Doerrie, among others) and in creating new
scores for silent films by Browning, Melies, Kinugasa, Murnau &
Reiniger. Through this book, Johnston presents a discussion of
music for silent films that contradicts long-held assumptions about
what silent film music is and must be, with thought-provoking
implications for both historical and contemporary film music.
