Work introduction
An educational and exciting mix of styles, techniques and timbres; that is the idea behind 18 Pieces for Piano. In his teaching practice, Clemens Hoffman uses his different experiences to the advantage of his pupils; he gives them the opportunity to try all sorts of styles, each at their own level, so they can find their own strengths, weaknesses and preferences. When it comes to the development of technical skills, he feels that achieving the right tone can be just as challenging as playing a fast run or complex rhythm. This book reflects these ideas and experiences. Each piece is different, with its own particular style, atmosphere and difficulty. Each offers a new challenge for the player, a new learning experience and a step on a musical journey.
While similar in style to 25 Sketches for Piano, this book is aimed at less experienced piano students; it suitable for advanced beginners.
