Book Description

Alfred Masterwork Library CD Editions December 2004
Collected from several sources, these teaching pieces were published separately in the 18th and 19th centuries as the Twelve Short Preludes and the Six Short Preludes. Students are often introduced to these works prior to studying the Two-Part Inventions (Alfred Edition 22528). This unique edition includes the realization of ornaments and guidance concerning tempos and articulation. The Alfred Masterwork Library CD Editions conveniently combine each exceptional volume with a professionally recorded CD that is sure to inspire artistic performances.

Pianist Kim O'Reilly Newman holds a Master of Music degree from the University of Illinois. She has performed throughout North America and Europe with the Hambro Quartet of Pianos and was an editor and recording pianist for Alfred Publishing. Kim is a brain tumor survivor and now specializes in performing music for the left hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended Reading, November 4, 2007

This review is from: J. S. Bach: 18 Short Preludes (Book & CD) (Alfred Masterwork Library CD Editions) (Paperback)
This book contains 18 intermediate pieces that would benefit a serious piano students repetoire. Written by J.S. Bach for instructing his son, these pieces are crafted for strengthening technique but stand alone as their own "mini" compositions. The CD is a valuable aid, though the pieces are played quite fast for most students at this level. The student should have good reading skills and good fundemental technique before starting this book.

I love this book. The CD that comes with it is excellent. The explanations of ornaments are detailed and the fingerings are helpful. I highly recommend this book.
