Description

Teaching piano to twins Rosalie and Finn proved to be both a rewarding challenge and a source of inspiration for composer and pedagogue Bertram Schattel. Drawing from Anton Diabelli’s concept of providing beginners with pieces that are not only easy to play but also enjoyable to hear, Schattel created a collection of 20 varied short pieces for piano duet, all within a five-tone range. The technical demands are consistently balanced for both players, ensuring an equitable learning experience. With titles like "Little Song in Tears," "Always Nicely Cool!," and "Tango Under the Sun," the collection serves as an engaging introduction to a variety of keys, rhythms, and playing styles, making it an ideal resource for young pianists.
