Firestarters 4 is a collection of six recital pieces for piano by composers from Australia, Canada and New Zealand, suitable for performers of approximately Grade VI to Diploma-level ability. Each piece has been annotated with suggestions for performance and interpretation, and all are ideal for student recital or professional performance.
'This is an imaginative collection of pieces encompassing a variety of styles and sonorities which will be enjoyed by budding pianists and professionals alike. Students will love the romantic Eternity's Heartbeat by Christos Hatzis, Katy Abbott's descriptive Sapphire Shimmer, Silica Slide and the catchy Balinese rhythms of Gareth Farr's Dua Lagu. The evocative Fragment by John Psathas will be approachable for most students from Grade VI onwards while the more complex rhythmic structure of Chris Gendall's Great and Small and Gao Ping's Valley Echoes bring challenges more suitable for pianists of Grade VII and above.' Rae De Lisle, New Zealand
