'san-Baptiste Duvernoy (1800-1880) was a French pianist, composer, and professor of piano at the Conservatoire de Paris. A composer of more than 300 works, he is primarily known for his studies, including the opus 176 Elementary Studies, which were written for beginner's lessons on the piano. Duvernoy's studies intentionally lack technical sophistication making them a suitable complement to Czerny etudes. The lack of technical rigor allows students the latitude to focus on expression, lyricism and tone production...With clearly notated articulation and dynamic markings, the student has the opportunity to experience music making on a number of levels...Looking at the music itself the quality and mindfulness of Schott's typography is self-evident. Through careful spacing, most of the studies fit well on a single page.--American Music Teacher.

These variations are based on the concept of Beethoven's 32 variations in C Minor. In Beethoven's work, all the variations are eight bars long, without any changes in tempi or time signature. Each variation is complete in itself, but the variations are carefully grouped and juxtaposed to have a cummalitive effect. His individual variations are always very clearly connected with the original theme, both melodically and harmonically. Rather than occupying himself solely with decoration of the original melody, Beethoven's concern was with piano figuration and technique. In following the principles Beethoven created in this work, Elias has attempted to concern himself with the same preoccupations; by using clealy audible motifs that permit him to concentrate on writing for the instrument, and by using short, sharply defined phrases (always of eight bars) to build up a larger structure.

In his work Palindrome for piano (2000), Kirmo Lintinen has chosen a predetermined form: perfectly mirrored symmetry, and he makes it work wonderfully! Lintinen is not interested in hidden structures and working with minutiae, but rather lets the palindromic qualities of the palindrome be clearly visible and audible. Rather than using abstract tonerows, Lintinen mirrors a three-tiered musical characteristics, adding and then letting go suspension: Cantabile semplice/Giocoso/Fuocoso e flessibile - Fuocoso e flessibile/Giocoso/Cantabile semplice. The duration of the work, 180 seconds, is divided into six segments: 45sec:30sec:15sec:15sec:30sec:45sec (3:2:1:1:2:3). The shorter the segment, the more raucuous the material.
