Toy Piano

Antarctica - volume

By Various Composers

Regular price $50.00 Sale

New music for toy piano and/or piano.
Another exciting University of Western Sydney project of newly composed works inspired by the landscapes and atmospheres of one of the most fascinating continents on the planet.  Antarctica is considered an inhospitable continent but it has fascinated and inspired not only travellers, scientists, researchers but musicians and writers.  This program of eleven composers from five countries draws on the sounds of the piano, and the clear, distinctive sound of two toy pianos, into their works.

Recorded by Antonietta in Australia and Italy on the CD Antarctica (Wirr 059) available online.

Imperfect Reflection

By Diana Blom

    Imperfect Reflection for toy piano, rainstick and small cymbal, is about water – a drop and the resulting even/uneven undulating waves created. With the toy piano in meditative mood, the piece also draws in the soft ‘swish’ of the rainstick and the clear ‘ting’ of a struck cymbal to highlight the sound.
