How would you give a young pianist the chance to «catch the bug» for music ? By warming up their fingers and their imagination on The Pianist’s Hot Water Bottle: this is the guiding, enthusing principle of this innovative musical journey.
The importance of ensemble work in the formation of the child’s musical personality is becoming increasingly clear, hence this work, which is intended for all who play the piano, with its touch of humour to clinch the joint involvement of teacher and pupil. With the teacher accompanying, the young pianist describes various situations from daily life in music. These scenes are illustrated with lovely brightly-coloured drawings which are sure to stimulate the young pianist’s musical imagination.
Five original pieces, interspersed with a programme of solid technical training in varied rhythms, will guarantee the pupil’s slow, steady progress. The acquisition of dynamic control and of rhythmic precision, through melodic exchange, and the mastery of metre are the strong points of this collection.
