From the preface: The aim of the publication of these four-handed piano compositions is to fill a void within the sphere of sight-reading(and almost sight-reading) at the beginner and intermediate level. These three volumes together contain 36 Nordic folk songs from Denmark Norway Sweden Finland and theFaroe Islands. The selection is based first and foremost on their being well suited to the instrumental expressivepossibilities of the piano and being good representatives of the rich and atmospheric Nordic musical heritage.When one practises sight-reading on one’s own it is tempting to stop as onegoes along because the desire to playthe correct notes is often given priority at the expense of the rhythm and expression.Music without an organic pulse will leave the player with an unsatisfactory feeling of stress and failure and thestream of thought will not form part of a natural flow. Good sight-reading training is therefore ensemble playing where the teacher supports the pulse and rhythm.In many other publications of four-handed duets the secundo part is written in two bass clefs and the primo part in twotreble clefs. Reading this untrained combination of clefs along with the stressful fact that the music has never beenseen nor heard before can confuse the pupil.In volumes 1 and 2 the secundo part which is intended for the pupil is therefore notated in a treble clef and bassclef as piano music for two hands is usually notated. In volume 3 the degree of difficulty is more varied but in mostof the pieces improvisation is an interposed element in the primo part being therefore a good challenge for the pupil.In the improvisatory sections a chord or a scale is notated. These can form the tonal starting point but here too thepupil is encouraged to experiment with for example the shift between major and minor thirds and between the high andlow sixth and seventh
