Arens - Piano Vivace Piano Tranquillo (Softcover Book)

Piano Vivace – Piano Tranquillo is the name of the new music book just released by our successful author Barbara Arens. It's a book that's divided in two: turn it upside down and you can start on either side. Grouped around the two basic moods Vivace and Tranquillo, the finely honed pieces range from easy to medium difficulty. There are 15 pieces in each group, no piece longer than two pages. The miniatures transform places, activities or even lemon sherbet into musical images, with highly varied rhythms and recurring patterns of motions. Whether ragtime or blues, Rio or Hofbräuhaus, Rush Hour or Time to Relax – the rich selection reflects many atmospheric shadings between tranquillo and vivace. The pieces should be a delight both for young keyboard artists and for adults getting themselves back into shape after a longer absence from the piano.
