Concert pianist; composer; and master teacher Alexander Peskanov has written Spring Concerto as a bridge to the concerto repertoire that will help pianists at the intermediate level experience the joys of performing a concerto at a young age. Inspired by springtime-themed masterpieces by Vivaldi; Haydn; and Beethoven; this concerto for solo piano with piano accompaniment is divided into four distinctive movements: "The March of Spring;" "April Scherzo;" "Sunset Reverie;" and "May Rondo." The movements explore Classical forms; such as sonata-allegro form and rondo form; while depicting the lively sounds of nature in spring.

Even though he is a jazz pianist (I am classically trained; but also learning jazz) this book would pertain to ANY keyboardist. It clarifies WHY certain exercises do or do not work; the neurology of learning; and very very specific guidance on piano technique. Would 1000000% recommend this to any serious keyboardist.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Art of Piano PlayingBy Miguel Gonccedil;alves HenriquesAlmost everything is said about Kochevitskys book. Nevertheless I do not think it as a heavy book (80 pages??). Its bibliography is thouroughly relevant but unfortunately the russian titles are still unkonown in the west. Fortunately we have now one or two works from Grigory Kogan translated. But still; in the piano concertizing profession; people rarely take the time to read about this kind of subject. Unfortunately again many piano teachers come up with their own methods withou prior knowledge of all this body work of research. Many guru-like methods and approaches intoxicate this literature market. I consider Kochevistkys book practical and exhaustive. You just have to take the time to think and to learn what he is talking about; and often this requires some experience and humbleness. Personally I recommend it highly to all advanced pianists and students.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerExcellen product and service
