Birds 2 A Second Suite of Nine Impressionistic Studies for Piano Solo - Seymour Bernstein

Birds 2 A Second Suite of Nine Impressionistic Studies for Piano Solo

Seymour Bernstein

The nine masterful studies are somewhat more difficult than the pieces in Birds 1. There is a great variety in articulation. The piano is used as a echo chamber in the Phoenix. Musically the trills, glissandos and clusters give a wonderful picture of each bird. The pedaling is very specific and will teach pianists a great deal about resonance. The birds included in this set are Myna Bird, Swan, Robin, Owl, Roadrunner, Condor, Nightingale, Guinea Hen, and Phoenix. These pieces have been used by students and teachers worldwide for their evocative qualities.
