Australian Women Composers' Piano Anthology Volume II

By Katie Zhukov

$50.00 Sale

Grades Intermediate (5th) to Advanced (Dip.)
16 piano works by Wirripang-published, Australian Women Composers 2018.

This second volume of new piano repertoire by Australian women composers is a companion to the Australian Women Composers’ Piano Anthology (2015) published earlier by Wirripang.

Commissioning new work from established and emerging composers provides an opportunity for women’s voices to be heard in the Australian classical music arena that tends to be dominated by live and recorded performances of music by male composers. Introducing new generations of piano students to music by women composers helps drive the grassroots campaign for gender equality in Australian classical music.
The pieces vary in style from Romantic to contemporary, neo-classical, and jazz-influenced idioms.
