Essential Elements Piano Theory is a comprehensive course designed to help students master theory concepts. New concepts are gradually introduced in a clearly presented format, followed by sufficient and effective reinforcement. Each book features three sections of "Musical Mastery" which include ear training, mastery in rhythm, symbols, reading, and analysis. Students learn to apply their theoretical knowledge in a musical context through such elements as improvisation, transposition, reading lead lines and standard chord progressions. Each book concludes with a section of "Theory Mastery" which includes a review test and ear training. The creative and fun approach of this series applies the student's understanding of theory to real musical examples, and will enhance and supplement any method book.

Series: Henle Music Folios
Publisher: Henle Urtext Edition
Format: Softcover
Piano Solo
Composer: Bela Bartok
Editor: László Somfai

With these three studies Bartók quite deliberately aimed to leave his mark on New Music in 1918. The first study is a kind of super-charged, motorically vehement Allegro barbaro, while the second, with its effervescent waterfalls of sound, seems redolent of an elegy inspired by Debussy. In the third, by contrast, Schönberg's influence is recognisable. The latter's "Private Musical Performances" in Vienna were also among the few occasions in the 1920s where Bartók's supremely demanding cycle - for performers andfor listeners - was played multiple times. Published by Universal Edition in 1918, the initial printing of the first edition was sold out so quickly that a second was already issued in 1921. László Somfai's Urtext edition is based on the musical text of the Bartók Complete Edition and, in addition to an exciting preface on the origins of the piece, features interesting, practical suggestions for performance as well.

Between 1914 and 1917, Sergei Rachmaninoff published two volumes of Études-Tableaux - a term coined by the composer with which he succeeded in expressing the blend of technical studies with programmatic character pieces. As with the concert etudes of Chopin or Liszt, they represent a technical and interpretational touchstone for every pianist.
