Description
Alexander Tcherepnin's (1899-1977) Bagatelles rank among his most distinguished and widely appreciated keyboard compositions. Each of the 10 miniatures spans merely two to four pages, yet they are rich in a range of slightly modern techniques. The more dazzling pieces contribute to the development of swift finger technique, while the lyrical compositions serve as studies in the equilibrium between melody and accompaniment figures. Lynn Freeman Olson's edition is meticulously researched and features useful study notes. Bagatelles Nos. 1 and 10 are selections for the Federation Festivals from 2016 to 2020. Additionally, they are included in the Federation Festivals for 2020-2024 and 2024-2028 selections.
