The new music book by British composer Alison Mathews!
128 Easy reading pieces for piano, in 4 levels
Alison Mathews’ new work is comprised of 128 short works, each only a system in length and divided into 4 themes; moods, sweets, weather and underwater.
Each theme contains 8 different works, untitled except with an illustration and each work comes in 4 different difficulty levels. The students can browse through the book and choose their favourite theme, advancing through the levels as and when they feel more confident in their reading. Advice for improvisation or expanding of the pieces is included in the score. The pieces start with a simple 5 finger hand position, using single notes and include the use of different techniques and articulation, which increase with the difficulty, for example; legato, staccato, dynamics, tremolandi and glissandi.
Doodles is highly recommended for all piano students up to Grade 4 (ABRSM), as these pieces can be used for sight reading, weekly independent reading, as a basis for improvisation, and above all to spark the imagination.

Superabimus was commissioned and premiered by Octava Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of Johan Louwersheimer.
The title stands for We shall overcome in Latin and is a testament of the will humans have against all obstacles in their life. The harmonic language and lower string ostinati are a reminiscence of both Bernard Herrmann and Béla Bartók.

Conductor: Johan Louwersheimer")

piano: Sarah Konecsni
The new work by Canadian composer Sarah Konecnsi, for solo piano, was inspired by the series of novels, The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. The score consists of three Fantasies, based on the first three books of the series.
The musical elements found in each Fantasy, are interwoven with each other, and more contemporary techniques (such as playing inside the piano with the fingernail, or muting strings) are used, without this meaning that the music itself loses any of its fabulous appeal.
For advanced level pianists.
The score is decorated with B&W illustrations by Polish illustration artist Elwira Pawlikovska.")

The first work by American composer Daniel Perttu to be published by Editions Musica Ferrum.
This work comes with a frantic, non stop movement, of almost ten minutes. Technically demanding, but very rewarding for the performers, as well as the audience.
The recording is from 2012, by Holly Roadfeldt and Jeri-Mae Astolfi.")
