    Century Volume I

    By Larry Sitsky

    Regular price $25.00 Sale

    A set of 47 piano pieces for beginners. 
    Didgeridoo - AMEB P Plate Book 2
    ANZCA Syllabus - various pieces, grades Prelim. to Grade 2


    The order of pieces is there not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. At one stage, the composer did sit down with one or more teachers and arrived at a purely subjective grading for each piece. As the composer claims, it will always be contentious, but at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection. Volume I includes mostly pieces for Prep - Level I.  See Volume II.

    Century Volume II

    By Larry Sitsky

    Regular price $30.00 Sale

    A set of 52 piano pieces for intermediate grades, the second in the set of three volumes. 

    Red Indian Hand Game Song - AMEB Grade 4
    ANZCA Syllabus - various pieces Grade 3 - 5

    These volumes address a serious artistic repertoire for beginning players, not just classical repertoire simplified. The only main-stream composer who has taken on such a task was Bartok with his MIKROKOSMOS, which gave the young pianist serious repertoire as well as drawing heavily on the folk-music sources which were close to Bartok's heart and compositional world. The order of pieces included is not just for progression of difficulty, but for variety, challenge, inspiration as well. As the composer claims that this will always be contentious, it at least indicates roughly the intent behind the ordering of the collection.  Volume two includes mostly pieces for Levels 1 to 4. (55 pieces in Volume II mainly - Levels 2/3- 5)
