Debussy?s early Piano piece Tarentelle Styrienne was published by Choudens in 1891. In 1903 the composer had it reissued under the new title Danse with a few small revisions byFromont with whom he worked a great deal at the time. He probably did not like the original title for this showpiece. Although Styriennes (Styrian dances) were fashionable in salon music one tends to think of dances such as theLändler rather than the tarantella of southern Italy. Following Debussy?s death in 1918 Maurice Ravel was asked to develop the Danse into a version for orchestra and it was first performed in 1923.

The whirling rhythmic eighth-note patterns of Night Flight (written in 2) take off in the spirit of a tarantella. The left hand keeps the beat steady with rising and falling chromatics played atop open intervals. An excellent choice to reinforce playing two- and three-note slurs. The bravura ending makes for a nice recital flourish.

The collection Little Stories consists of 16 short expressively varied piano pieces. The interpretation is suggested by the title referring to the imagination the world of fairy tales everyday children's matters and observation of nature. The majority of the miniatures can be easily performed after few months of study; the level of difficulty corresponds to the last stage of learning with the hadbook by Agnieszka Lasko – First Class Piano. In some of them (Drowsy Cloud Sunrise Cuckoo Song The Princess and the Knight Winter Moon) an element of improvisation is used creatively engaging the young pianist; thanks to the composer's ingenuity any attempt at free music making shall be successful. The advantage of the pieces is their melody factor (memorable naturally wandering themes). The miniatures are also characterized by simplicity of texture and harmony (slightly colored with dissonant chords) a playful tone (e.g. playing with shifting accents in Little Monster Stomp) or dance-like-character (the waltz Ballerina Tarantela). The composer also took care of the fingering and the use of pedals which facilitates the playing. Sophisticated illustrations painted by Ma gorzata Flis help to develop the pupil's sensivity.

Clever piece is about a tarantula who loves to dance under the moonlit sky. Your elementary students will love playing this A minor waltz in middle C position.
