Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A collection of music arranged for solo piano, including Metamorphoses One to Five collected together for the first time. Suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists.

About the Author
Born in Baltimore on 31 January 1937, Philip Glass discovered music in his father's hop. In addition to his radio busines, Ben Glass carried a stock of records which he often played to his three children, notably the lines which he found sold less well. From these, the future composer rapidly became familiar with Beethoven quartets, Schubert sonatas and Shostakovich symphonies. Not until he was in his late teens did Philip begin to encounter more conventional classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Philip Glass for intermediate students, April 23, 2006
These pieces are the songs from the Solo Piano cd. Perfect for intermediate students, they work great as finger exercises as well. The songs increase in difficulty as the book goes on. My teacher was thrilled when I brought this book in to my lessons.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and repetitive, but somehow succeeeds with that, March 8, 2007
By R. Warta (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you can play arpeggios worth a cent, you can play this flawlessly in one to two practice sessions per piece. The pieces consist of only a few lines of music each, which are repeated ad nauseum throughout the songs. It's an interesting style that provides good background music, but kind of grates on the ears after a while.

4.0 out of 5 stars Minimalist style, June 7, 2007
By Renato Murakami "XSportSeeker" (Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you already know and like the minimalist style from Philip Glass, you'll have more chances on liking the musics on this album.
It's really a mood thing. Sometimes you will play and love it, sometimes you'll just get bored over it. That's also valid for listeners.
Some people will love it, some people will get sleepy.
Still, a great aquisition for intermediate piano students.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good to limber up the fingers
I agree with everything previous reviewers have written about these pieces. They are repetative, and ad nauseum, is a good term. Read more
