About the Book

An innovative, systematic approach to piano pedagogy that focuses on the mastery of foundational musical and technical skills through representative Romantic style repertoire. Oftentimes, intermediate-level piano repertoire resources list countless pieces from all historical style periods but only provide limited, general information about individual pieces or skills. Lori Ellen Rhoden provides a detailed exploration of key musical elements – including melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, technique, articulation, fingering, pedaling, and musical expression – found in intermediate-level Romantic style piano repertoire. For each element, Rhoden identifies concepts and skills that influence important technical, musical, and interpretive aspects of a piece. By emphasizing the mastery of concepts and skills in manageable settings and using the repertoire as a vehicle to achieve that goal, this book explores many aspects of technique and musicianship that are often only covered in more advanced piano study. It helps prepare students to become independent musicians who can approach unfamiliar repertoire with confidence. Repertoire collections by Amy Beach, Johann Burgmüller, Cécile Chaminade, William Gillock, Cornelius Gurlitt, Edvard Grieg, Robert Schumann, and Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky are included. Independent piano teachers and piano pedagogy students will find this a comprehensive, developmental compendium of Romantic style repertoire.

Review :
For years I have been searching for a book that successfully explores the connection between performance and pedagogy in repertoire. Hats off to Rhoden who has finally filled that gap. Based on her years of experience, Rhoden has produced a comprehensive, practical guide for piano teachers to ensure that they traverse the wide-ranging intermediate level effectively. Her organization and attention to detail provides teachers with a clear pathway through the concepts that must be taught at the intermediate level. This book will be helpful for piano teachers and students of pedagogy and is a welcome addition to any piano teacher's library.
