The Czech composer and teacher Emil Hradecký (b. 1953) has devoted much of his creative output to children and the piano. His Two-Part Piano Miniatures on One Page are ingenious small piano pieces for beginners which are easy to play yet melodically interesting. Here children are introduced to the character of classical music as well as various dance forms: cha-cha-cha, tango, waltz, polka, blues and boogie-woogie. The pieces are composed on whole-tone, pentatonic and gypsy scales and include a folksong arrangement. / Piano
