Puppet Theatre (20 Miniatures for Piano)

Description

Jakub Metelka (born 1986), who has gained international recognition for his advanced beginner piano albums (“The Secret Garden”, “Little Virtuoso” and “Modern Piano Studies”), has composed his latest collection “Puppet Theatre” for pianists who have taken approximately two years of piano lessons. This album represents Metelka’s easiest contribution to the beginner piano repertoire to date and can be seen as a “predecessor volume” to “Little Virtuoso”

The twenty miniatures, written in simple song form, captivate with appealing, simply harmonised melodies that testify to Metelka’s natural musicality and inventiveness. With these pieces, he skillfully connects to the emotional world of children and encourages their musical imagination. At the same time, the original miniatures also appeal to older beginners.

The titles, drawn from the world of fairy tales reflect the moods of the individual pieces and spark the imagination. Students and teachers have the opportunity to determine the sequence of the pieces themselves and to create their own “puppet theatre”, possibly even a little story.
