This comprehensive study of the piano music of award-winning
American composer Samuel Adler will interest pianists, teachers,
and anyone interested in the musical art of our day. American
composer Samuel Adler has composed a huge and multi-faceted body of
works ranging from symphonies, concertos, and oratorios to solos
for every standard Western instrument, to a rich trove of vocal and
choral music, to pieces for students. Among them, encompassing his
compositional life of some seventy years, is an array of works for
the piano: three concertos; fifteen solo pieces and sets of pieces;
a sonata for two pianos; and four volumes of music for beginning
and intermediate players. Bradford Gowen writes about each of these
works with the knowledge of one who has studied, performed, and
recorded Adler's piano music and has previously written about it.
He begins with an overview of stylistic and pianistic traits found
throughout these pieces and then examines each work chronologically
according to genre, in a two-part format. The first part is an
essay on the work's style, emotional content, and unique features,
which at the same time places the work in the context of other
music by Adler and by additional composers from the present and
past eras. The second part, informal and practical, is directed to
a pianist interested in getting to know this music. As a "lesson"
on the piece, it offers specific suggestions for practicing and
interpretation and many solutions to technical challenges. Rounding
out the book are an in-depth interview with the composer plus six
invaluable appendices.
