Little Virtuoso

Description

– 15 recital pieces
– Fairly easy to moderately difficult
– Audio recordings available online

This new piano album by the acclaimed Czech pianist, teacher and composer Jakub Metelka (born 1986) contains 15 recital pieces – short, witty, characteristic compositions with flawless melodic, harmonic and pianistic workmanship. It allows little virtuosos not only to train their technical skills (from fairly easy to moderately difficult), but also to sharpen their grasp of the pieces’ moods and to stretch their musical imagination. Accompanying the edition are attractive illustrations by Andrea Tachezy.

The album provides an ideal complement to the composer’s internationally successful “Modern Piano Studies” (BA 11559).
