Animal Pictures

Description

Piano — Ganz was a major force in modern music of the early 20th century in the United States. He was the first to perform Ravel's piano music in America, brought the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra to the top tier under his baton, and taught at Juilliard before it was Juilliard (The Institute of Musical Art). His love of piano pedagogy, particularly in new techniques, is illustrated by this charming set of 20 animal-inspired pieces for students, young and old. Originally published by Carl Fischer Music in 1932, these descriptive miniatures still speak to us today.
