Keys to Stylistic Mastery teaches the basic principles of the five stylistic periods (Baroque; Classical; Romantic; Impressionist and Contemporary) to piano students. The pieces were chosen to provide a helpful transition from method books to the classics. Composer Dennis Alexander has written at least one piece in the style of each period. Information about each style period; listing selected composers; keyboard instruments and typical forms; precedes the music from that period. Brief biographies of all composers represented are included.

What a great insight on leading artists of our 20th century time period. A good look of their personal thoughts and correspondence during the Holidays. A great addition to my small library as an oil painter and scratchboard enthusiast. What a great find!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Reference of Holiday CardsBy WilhelmI was very pleased to find this book after reading about the exhibit at the Smithsonian. Although; I will probably not see the exhibit this book gave me a lasting memory. I have made my own holiday cards for over 5 years so this was perfect for providing some inspiration. Also; this is a great coffee table book for the holidays!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. smart/fun/fascinatingBy MavenMomI cant say enough about how fascinating and fun this book was.
