Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.918262 Arranged by Dillon's Music Group. African. Score. 3 pages. Dillon's Music Group #6013055. Published by Dillon's Music Group (A0.918262). Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child is traced back to the era of slavery.  It's an expression of pain and despair as the lyrics describe the hopelessness of a child torn from its parents.  Steal Away is a song with a coded message, not only about having faith in God, but messages about slaves running away to seek their freedom.  Sung softly in the dark of night, it was a signal that the coast was clear and now was the time to escape their bondage.  They sang hopefully:  Steal away, steal away, Steal away to Jesus! Steal away, steal away home, I ain't got long to stay here. (included in Brenda Dillon's African American Collection)About the arranger:  Brenda Dillon is best known for her contributions to the Recreational Music Making movement.  She served on the RMM Committee that designed the RMM Track for MTNA's Pedagogy Saturday.  She also presented group piano and RMM sessions throughout the U.S.  In addition to serving as a teacher trainer, she has written extensive articles on both group piano and RMM teaching.  She has publications with Hal Leonard and Alfred listed on her website (www.brendadillon.com).

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1384069 Composed by David Fraser. 20th Century,21st Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score. 5 pages. David Fraser #968430. Published by David Fraser (A0.1384069). The inspiration for Hommages III. Sonata No. 1 â??Gothicâ??, Movement 2 comes from the German fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm. The music begins with Hansel and Gretel walking into the witchâ??s house made of gingerbread, cake, and candy. The children have a sense of unease and fright once they enter the house, which is demonstrated in the music by the eeriness and darkness of the harmonies. The term oscuro is found at the beginning of the music â?? this is the Italian word for dark. The repeat, which begins at measure 25, is marked sempre sotto voce which translates to always under the voice, meaning always in a hushed tonal quality and dynamic volume. This section represents the children trying to tip-toe out of the house without the witch taking notice. The repeat is almost identical to the beginning section, with the exception of measures 39 and 40 which have ties in the right hand; the similar measures 15 and 16 in the first section do not have these ties. The right-hand trills in measures 53 through 55 symbolize the children attempting to quietly turn a key to unlock the door, which would lead them to freedom.This is the second movement only of the Sonata which is the third piece from 'Hommages: Suite pour le Piano'. 5 pages.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1033340 Composed by Neil Awasthi. Contemporary. Score. 6 pages. Neil Awasthi #6352703. Published by Neil Awasthi (A0.1033340). The chase is afoot! A rather large cat attempts to hunt a wily mouse. The mouse tries to escape the cat’s clutches. Who succeeds?This piece’s ternary form follows the chase between a cat and mouse. Section A is lively and fast-paced because the cat is on the hunt for the mouse. Since this piece is written from the mouse’s perspective, C-sharp minor conveys the mouse’s fright and fear. The time signature is 4/4 to allow for 16th notes, which denote running steps. The theme in m.19 repeats several times throughout Section A to signify the large cat’s ominous stalking. Tenutos and staccatos punctuate the cat’s heavy steps. In m.14-15, the chromatic scale represents the cat’s momentum. The constantly changing dynamics showcase the various movements and emotions in a chase. Specifically, in m.28-31, the dynamic changes to piano and pedal is employed to signify the mouse’s despair. Section B stands alone, representing the mouse’s successful escape from the cat. The section’s key signature D-flat major is light and happy. A time signature of 6/8 swings, furthering the carefree mood of the mouse. The beginning of Section B repeats to emphasize the mouse’s joyous escape. However, at the end of the section, the cat returns. In m.61-68, varying speeds and descriptors contrast the movements of the cat and mouse. In m.68, the cat’s theme is an octave lower to draw attention to the cat’s threatening, heavy steps. In m.70-71, the notes accelerate to show that the mouse begins to run again. Section A’s refrain recaps the cat chasing the mouse. In m.89-100, the end, tells the mouse’s fate. The climatic ending is highlighted by the speeding tempo. The treble-clef notes are an octave higher to build excitement. In m.95-96, notes descend 4 octaves to indicate the mouse’s ultimate demise. The piece ends with grand chords to mark the mouse’s death.

Instrumental Solo,Piano and Keyboard - Interactive Download SKU: A0.480157 Composed by Mitch Boucher. This edition: Interactive Download. Classical. Individual part. 8 pages. Duration 316. Published by Mitch Boucher (A0.480157). I figure every pianist (and keyboardist) has their own inner Beethoven, and every composer does too! I've studied piano, but I never really delved into any literature. But I figure that while I write eighteenth-century music, I shouldn't limit myself to just instruments from that era, ergo the first movement to my piano partita. If there are any pianists on this site, please feel free to give me some feedback! If you want to play it and make a video/recording, go ahead!

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.958508 Composed by Joseph Dillon Ford. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 11 pages. David Warin Solomons2 #3859747. Published by David Warin Solomons2 (A0.958508). This large-scale concert solo projects a magical atmosphere redolent of the landscapes and characters of J. R. R. Tolkien's literary classic, The Hobbit. Although this is not program music in a strict sense, Ford, like Tolkien, draws freely upon historical materials to construct a timelessly colorful fantasy world full of richly contrasting episodes. Significantly, the rondo form of this movement returns home thematically again and again, just as the Hobbits are only too happy to return to their beloved Shire after their many adventures in Middle Earth. The full title of Tolkien's work is The Hobbit or There and Back Again. (Incidentally, Hindemith gave a similar title to his 1927 opera, Hin und Zurück-There and Back, which has nothing to do with Tolkien, Hobbits, or epic fantasies!)

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1228553 Composed by Gustav Mahler. Arranged by John Kerr. 20th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score. 6 pages. John Kerr #824631. Published by John Kerr (A0.1228553). This is a piano transcription of the sublime conclusion to Mahler's third symphony. The richly textured melodic progression requires a lot of stretching but performers should feel free to omit any notes that they can't comfortably reach or arpeggiate. The tremolo sections are intended either to emulate the powerful bass of the timpani or the ethereal shimmering of high strings and should be played at liberty as the performer interprets. Play it slowly and contemplatively and enjoy!

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1077267 By Blaze Scheuerman. By Blaze Scheuerman. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period,Traditional. Score. 14 pages. Blaze Scheuerman #681437. Published by Blaze Scheuerman (A0.1077267). This first movement was primarily inspired by Beethoven’s first five piano sonatas. In an effort to better myself as a composer, I decided to compose a piece following the rules of a certain form instead of a more free form or fantasy-like piece. I chose a Sonata as it both had a rule set I felt like I could follow and was a big enough project to satisfy my ambition. After studying the scores of Beethoven’s first five piano sonatas to gain an understanding of how they work, I have put together my own original piano sonata. It consists of some admiration of the past in the first theme, energy and determination to do something about it in the second theme, and some interesting experimentation and action in the development.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1340241 Composed by Amos Elkana. 21st Century,Contemporary. Score. 13 pages. Amos Elkana #925915. Published by Amos Elkana (A0.1340241). Sympathetic Symmetries is a composition that not only explores the unique sonic capabilities of the piano but also demands superior technical skill from the performer. By placing a heavy object on the piano's lowest octave keys, the corresponding strings are allowed to resonate freely, creating a distinctive echo effect unlike the traditional sustain pedal. The composition unfolds in five movements, each exploring a different aspect of piano technique and expression. Drawing on my experiences composing across various genres and forms, from solo piano works like Eight Flowers to larger orchestral pieces such as my Piano Concerto ...with purity and light…, this piece aims to capture a range of emotions and technical nuances.
