Grand Piano 005 - Music for Students
Monday, 8 October, 2007
Sometimes composers' easy music for students represents some of their best efforts. This program is made up of music that may be easy to play but obviously wasn't easy to write, played by first-class pianists.JS Bach - 2 Part Inventions (3/4/5) - Glenn GouldD. Shostakovich - 3 Fantastic Dances - Dmitri Shostakovich (1956 broadcast)F. Mendelssohn - 6 Children's Pieces, Op. 72 - Daniel BarenboimB. Bartok - For Children (Volume 1) - Lili KrausS. Prokofiev - 6 pieces from "Children's Music" - Igor ZhukovWhy would a great pianist perform music written for beginners? Because sometimes it's some of the composer's best music. In this program, five major pianists (including a major composer-pianist, Shostakovich) play music that was written for students, but despite the technical simplicity of the works their musical content is still first-rate.Download The Grand Piano Podcast 005 - "Music for Students" here (128 kbps mp3 , 49.2 Mb, 53 min 44 sec)Subscribeto The Grand Piano podcast here
