Combre Sonatine No 2 Opus 10
Book SynopsisMaurice Journeau's catalogue of works comprises 75 works (82 with the works without an opus number). Among them, one may find numerous pieces for piano (piano solo, piano duet). His four sonatinas for piano were considered by him as typical of his music style, even if each one is very different from the three others.Maurice Journeau composed four sonatinas for piano, his own instrument, probably because this way of writing seemed attractive to him. The Deuxieme Sonatine (2nd Sonatina) Op.10 was written in Biarritz on April 1925. The work, full of a brotherly tenderness, was dedicated by the composer to his younger sister. So it is a graceful, gentle piano piece endowed with a very lively atmosphere.CONTENTS: Allegretto piacevole (3'00); Andante (3'30); Scherzo (5'00)

London College of Music London College of Music Piano Anthology Grades 5
Book SynopsisThese Piano Anthologies contain pieces which have been carefully selected from previous piano exam lists dating from 1988 to 2006. All of the pieces in these volumes have proved popular with piano students, teachers and listeners, and we are pleased to be able to make them available again in these new collections. Pieces from these anthologies may be chosen as List B and C pieces, allowing students to increase their choice of repertoire beyond the already extensive selection offered in the LCM piano repertoire lists for grade, recital grade and leisure play options. It is hoped that these anthologies will also be of interest to piano students generally. The range of styles broadly covers the late 18th century to the present. Some familiar pieces are present in these volumes, but they include pieces additionally from composers who have had a distinguished career in the role of teacher or student at LCM. Amongst the former are William Lloyd Webber and Martyn Williams, and amongst the latter are Nicholas Grace and John Guilfoyle, who now have eminent academic and professional musical careers.
