"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.Andrey Komanetsky was born in Moscow, Russia in 1965. Each of the works has been selected for its artistic as well as its pedagogical merit. This series is carefully leveled into the following categories: elementary, intermediate, early advanced, and advanced. ![]() The natural musicality present in each of these pieces demands the same kind of careful attention that we expect from the standard canon of repertoire. While expanding students' horizons, this series helps to confirm and reinforce the musical and technical concepts they are learning in their other repertoire. Contemporary performance practices such as depressing keys silently, cluster sounds, pedal effects, knocking on the keyboard, contemporary harmonies, jazz idioms, bitonality, modes, mixed and changing meters, and 12-tone techniques challenge the student to listen for new rhythmic gestures and tonal colors and expand their interpretive capacity. This series addresses that concern by providing excellent music which is both contemporary and intuitively musical. Too often, both students and teachers get discouraged with contemporary compositions because of their avant-garde sound. While the composers invited to write for this series use a colorful palette of contemporary techniques and textures, they were selected for their strong musical voices, which ensure that the ultimate goal of musical communication is never lost. These collected works by some of today's leading art-music composers will expand a student's concept of rhythm, harmony, sound, and texture.
