Tchaikovsky sub-titled this collection, first published in 1878,
'24 easy pieces (a la Schumann)'. Like his predecessor, Tchaikovsky
had the innate ability of writing for young people without writing
down to them, as illustrated here with this set of charming and
characteristic miniatures.
Daniel Gottlob Turk (1750-1813), who held the post of director of
music at Halle University, was responsible for the most influential
keyboard tutor of its day, the monumental Klavierschule. He also
wrote these two books of practical pieces to accompany it.
Progressing from the simplest two-part pieces to more complex works
practising various aspects of technique, the albums provide
excellent teaching material for the early grades.

Biographical insights into two outstanding musical personalities
and commentary on the vitality of the British musical scene of the
period. The letters that passed, on an almost daily basis, between
the composers Howard Ferguson and Gerald Finzi provide not only a
fascinating commentary on the British musical scene of the period
1926-1956, but also what amounts to a unique dual-biography of two
remarkable, though very different, personalities. Their lives,
their loves, their enthusiasms and their prejudices are laid bare
with a rare degree of candour, so that we learn not only what it
was liketo be witness to an art that was enjoying an unprecedented
explosion of creative vitality, but also how they came to explore
and consolidate their own exceptional talents. Biographical
background narratives provide links that make clear what intimate
correspondents inevitably take for granted, and explanations are
given for references that the passage of time has made obscure.
Their lives are thus revealed in all their diversity - tragedy and
comedy, achievement and frustration, justifiable pride and
unreasoning prejudice playing equal parts in this absorbing tale of
two outstanding musical personalities of the twentieth century.
124 short excerpts using a mixture of treble, alto, tenor and bass
clefs and various common transpositions. The book concentrates on
diatonic harmonic study (including diminished sevenths) and
harmonic counterpoint in up to three parts. The exercises train
students to take in many staves at once, to see where the principal
melody is, to understand harmonies and modulations, to read various
clefs, and transpose as necessary.
With Reference To Blood Coagulation And The Hemorrhagic Diseases.
This standard work is an introduction to the interpretation of
keyboard music from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century. Dr
Ferguson provides information about the instruments themselves, and
discusses this vast, fascinating, and ever-changing subject under
the headings: musical types and forms, tempo, phrasing and
articulation, fingering, rhythmic conventions, the tones' or modes,
ornamentation, pianists' problems, and editors' problems.
It is a clear, detailed, and practical guide to authenticity in
performance which all keyboard players will find indispensable.
This reissue incorporates an updated list of modern editions and a
completely revised bibliography.
