Indeed, every one of his compositions includes the instrument. His Preludes, many of which are of only moderate difficulty, show superb polish and inventive detail. Shaped by the tastes of the Parisian aristocratic salon, these pieces make the most of a pianist's technical ability, both in passages of virtuosity and in the possibilities for emotional expression.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and his wife Clara Wieck Schumann established a household centered almost entirely around music and their children. Inspired by his home life, which helped provide him with a mental stability that he struggled all his life to maintain, Schumann wrote a great deal of Hausmusik: modest, everyday music to be practiced and performed in the home. His first foray into this kind of literature, the Album for the Young, Op. 68, remains his most admired, even to this day.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is renowned for his large-scale, innovative piano sonatas and concertos, and these works hold a prominent and lasting place in the concert repertoire. Yet nestled beneath the larger works for which he is most often lauded lies a vast collection of short piano solos that he crafted throughout his career. These miniatures often display the same careful writing and attention to detail as his longer works. Some were actually intended as pedagogical studies; many derive their style from the popular dance music of the period and reflect Beethoven's love of simple, everyday pleasures.

Gurlitt's collection of accessible, charming works for the intermediate pianist provides an excellent introduction to Romantic repertoire of the mid-19th century, and highlights that period's signature solo piano form, the character piece. Gurlitt's miniatures show the influence of Robert Schumann, yet these solos nonetheless display an individuality and freshness all their own. Editor & recording artist: Margaret Otwell

"Obrazki wyczarowane dźwiękami" przeznaczone są dla pianistów - uczniów szkół muzycznych I stopnia. Zbiór, złożony pierwotnie z osiemnastu utworów, został napisany jako op. 51 w 1996 roku i dedykowany przez kompozytora dwóm zaprzyjaźnionym nauczycielkom fortepianu z Ogólnokształcącej Szkoły Muzycznej I stopnia im. I. J. Paderewskiego w Krakowie - Jadwidze i Marii Wyroba. Utwory charakteryzują się melodyjnością, współcześnie brzmiącą harmonią, zastosowaniem nowoczesnych środków wyrazu (np. klasterów), umożliwiając rozwijanie zarówno techniki, jak i wrażliwości młodego wykonawcy. Cztery ostatnie utwory: "Menuet", "Preludium", "W Tatrach" i "Inwencja" zostały pomyślane jako pastisze - utwory naśladujące innych kompozytorów (Mozarta, Chopina, Szymanowskiego i Bacha). Z pewnością więc każdy pianista z tej różnorodności nastrojów i stylów "wyczaruje dźwiękami" swoje ulubione "obrazki". Książka wzbogacona jest kolorowymi ilustracjami.

Sergiusz Prokofiew (ur. 1891 w Sosnówce, w Rosji, zmarł 5 marca 1953 w Moskwie, ZSRR) jest wybitnym przedstawicielem muzyki rosyjskich nurtów. W swojej twórczości kontynuował tradycje świetnych rosyjskich kompozytorów - pianistów, takich jak: Antoniego Rubinsteina, A. Skriabina czy S. Rachmaninowa. Charakterystyką twórczości fortepianowej Prokofiewa jest intensywne wykorzystanie dynamicznych możliwości instrumentu i związanych z nimi efektów dźwiękowych. Niniejsza publikacja zawiera Scherzo z Symfonii nr 5 op. 100, w transkrypcji fortepianowej Anatoli'ego Vedernikova (ur. 1920). Tempo: Allegro marcato (ćwierćnuta = 132).
