An Anthology of Piano Music for the Left Hand Alone

Description

Left-Hand Piano

One of the only collections of the oft-neglected left-hand piano repertoire, this book is a rare and significant entry to the piano literature, containing a wealth of artistically satisfying repertoire for the left hand that will not only strengthen the technical development of the left hand, but also make for impressive showpieces on the recital stage. Includes established classics like Godowsky's Chopin arrangements to contemporary additions like Bartok's Etude for the Left Hand and Corigliano's Etude No. 1 for the Left Hand Alone, as well as previously unpublished gems like Earl Wild's Etude No. 3 for the Left Hand Alone (Based on Gershwin’s The Man I Love) and Ruth Wylie's Soliloquy for Piano, Left Hand, Op. 23.
