Eight Easy Pieces

SKU: IG.PFS141

9 x 12 in inches.

Composed in 2012, these short piano compositions are intended for beginner through intermediate beginner levels. They are written using a variety of harmonic flavors such as modality, diatonicism, and free dissonance. These pieces can be played individually or preferably, as a set. Each work contains a descriptive title depicting a different mood or scene. From the first modal piece, Strolling Along to the wrapping notes of Raindrops, to the intense dissonances of Summer Storm and The Man at The Gate, there is something for everyone in this fun collection of short pieces. The composer would like to thank JungEun Hong for her editorial assistance in preparing these pieces for publication.

Posse’s compositions for harp are rich and varied, and range from the easy pieces dedicated to his students to the virtuoso concert pieces; we must also remember his didactic works, in particular the ‘Six Small Studies’ and the universally known ‘Eight Great Concert Studies’.
It is not easy to draw a balance of his legacy in the harp world. On one hand his technical vision of virtuosity combined with a great stability of the hand and rigor of the fingerings certainly contributed to the development of the 20th Century harp technique; on the other hand, his use of the pedals, often driven by two together with the same foot (a very old French technique), has gradually become more and more difficult on modern harps. From the point of view of his contribution to the harp repertoire, the constant run-up to the piano has heavily influenced his compositional production, making him often completely miss the idiomatic effects of 19th Century harp music (except for the use of harmonic sounds), which were so loved by his friend Liszt in the compositions of Parish Alvars.

The varied contents of this volume enable young orchestral players to become acquainted with compositions written by Mozart in his childhood and youth: the earliest of the pieces, a contredanse (K15e) originally written for piano, was composed in London in 1764 (when Mozart was just eight years old), the latest was composed in Paris in 1778. The selection also includes a movement from the Gallimathias musicum, the song ?An die Freude?, early minuets and ballet music, other contredanses, German hymns, and even a movement from a symphony.
