Gian Carlo Menotti (1911--2007) is best remembered as an opera composer and founder of three international performing arts festivals. Menotti has left behind a lasting legacy of lyrical and accessible music. Poemetti: 12 Pieces for Children was first published in 1937. These descriptive pieces demonstrate Menotti's celebrated lyric gift as well as the careful craft that characterizes his work. Taken as a whole, the set can be seen as Menotti's version of an "Album for the Young," recalling images of his colorful childhood in Italy. These brief compositions are varied in meter, tempo, character, texture, and technical demands and are suitable for developing the musical imagination and keyboard facility of pianists at the intermediate level. The collection is pianistic in style, with each piece serving as a miniature technical etude. The titles are evocative and aid the performer in conceptualizing a convincing interpretation. Titles: Giga * Lullaby * Bells at Dawn * The Spinner * The Bagpipers * The Brook * The Shepherd * Nocturne * The Stranger's Dance * Winter Wind * The Manger * War Song.

The new Critical Edition score from Vienna Urtext also includes a full facsimile of the autograph for study. “One of the most profound piano compositions from Mozart’s Vienna period,” says Leisinger, is also one of very few piano works by Mozart in a minor key. Technically challenging for advanced students, the Rondo is a wonderful and somewhat different example of Mozart’s brilliance.

Mozart's three rondos are presented here as an excellent introduction to his Viennese piano style. The editors point out that the F Major rondo was later enhanced by Mozart for inclusion in his Sonata K.533, but all three were originally intended as independent piano performance pieces. The A minor Rondo K.511 is described as "one of the pinnacles of Mozart's piano music," with "searing emotional distress." All are edited with Vienna Urtext's dedication to detail, in consultation with autographs and first editions. Clean print and attention to page-turns make this a welcome performance edition. For intermediate to advanced students.
