20 short pieces by Russian pianist, composer and teacher Samuel Majkapar. All in a late Romantic style, the pieces offer a fresh alternative to Schumann or Tchaikovsky's Album for the Young. Easy to Intermediate Level. ?The works of Samuel Majkapar (1867-1938) appeal to piano students of all ages...Teachers will appreciate a diversity of pieces which help strengthen finger technique (Toccatina) and spotlight melodic voicing (?Little Romance?), asymmetrical meters (?Cradle Song?), and a variety of articulations.?--Clavier Companion
