Stylistically Mikrokosmos reflects the in- fluence of folk music on Bartók’s life and the rhythms and harmonies employed create music that is as modern today as when the cycle was written.

einoJuhAni rAutAvAArA: fuocoThis 3-minute piece forms part of a sequence with Passionale (2003,HL48019587) and

Narcissus (2002, HL48019265). Fuoco is a kind of toccata in which fluctuating rhyth-mic patterns, changes of tessitura and sub-tle pedaling effects create a coruscating illustration of the title (“fire”).48019969 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$7.99

AnimAtions27 PieCes on the lively side

Piano Moods SeriesA collection of pieces focusing on lively rhythms and sparkling, articulate music – not all of it at faster tempos. There are goblins

and grasshoppers, gypsies and witches; Grieg and Goldschmidt co-exist with Horne and Hummel; there is entertain-ing and sometimes unfamiliar music by Scarlatti, Schumann and Chopin. There is ample dance music as well, including a waltz, mazurka, gigue and galop.48019604 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17.95

contemplAtions27 PieCes on the quiet side

Piano Moods SeriesPieces drawn from a wide range of periods and styles, creating intrigu-ing juxtapositions of pieces by well-known and lesser-

known composers. Bernstein’s tribute to Sondheim rubs shoulders with Erik Satie; Mozart and Tchaikovsky are represented alongside their contemporaries Kozeluh and Cui.48019601 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17.95

fAscinAtions35 PieCes on the quirky side

Piano Moods SeriesQuirky juxtaposi-tions and intriguing pieces of music. Contemporary min-iatures sit next to classic repertoire from Mozart and

Tchaikovsky. Dance movements by Tele-mann, Schubert, Rameau, Jirovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.48019603. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17.95

grAdAtions33 PieCes on the innoCent side

Piano Moods SeriesGradations is music of variety, change, progression, and even growing up. It includes children’s music by Bach and Bartók, first key-

board works of Mozart, and even Kaba-levsky’s My stubborn little brother.48019602. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $17.95

PiaNo Moods series

Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series for intermediate-level pianists. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey & Hawkes’ exten-sive collection of wonderful music, as well as lesser-known gems from the past — some of them from surprising sources — and newly composed works.
