Peter Wolf : Inventions for Young Pianists

Subtitle :

Wolf-Temperiertes Klavier 3

Introduction :

PÉTER WOLF (1947) is a Hungarian composer and musician who studied classical piano and jazz piano at the Béla Bartók Secondary School. He has composed many hits of the 1970s and 1980s as well as scores for popular films and musicals, and holds a DLA degree from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music with a thesis on jazz arrangements. About 'Inventions for Young Pianists', piano teacher Rita Znamenák writes: 'This volume expressly aims at extending the repertoire of 3rd- and 4th-grade primary music students (and, of course, that of the older ones, too). Each of the 23 inventions expands and revolves around a musical idea. The short pieces inspire the children's imagination already with their titles. Teachers and students can freely choose among pieces which require crossing hands, arpeggios, clusters, polyphony, syncopated rhythm, chromaticism, and pedalling. There are melodies with accompaniment, playing with alternate hands, playing legato and staccato, notes with appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas, jazz accents, and glissandi, too. The composer wrote unusual sound effects into a few pieces for the brave. It's my most sincere wish for young pianists that they find joy in studying Peter Wolf's works, and I encourage my colleagues to include pieces from this volume into their material: maybe students will also become more open to contemporary music through them.'

Product Features :

Targeted for Intermediate Students: Specifically compiled to extend the repertoire of **3rd- and 4th-grade primary music students**, making it an excellent resource for this key developmental stage.
Comprehensive Technique Exposure: The 23 inventions systematically cover a wide range of intermediate piano techniques, including hand crossing, clusters, polyphony, syncopation, chromaticism, and *jazz accents*, preparing students for advanced repertoire.
Focus on Imagination and Expression: The pieces are engaging *character studies* with imaginative titles ('Puss Hunting Mice', 'Rhino in the Puddle'), inspiring children to develop musical interpretation alongside technique.
Introduction to Contemporary Music: Written by a composer skilled in both classical and jazz idioms, these pieces offer a gentle and enjoyable introduction to **contemporary harmonies and rhythmic language**, making students more receptive to modern music.

Performance Tips :

Highlight the Musical Idea: Each invention revolves around one musical idea. Identify the core theme (e.g., polyphony, syncopation, arpeggios) and focus your practice on executing that specific technique with **clarity and intention**.
Bring Titles to Life: Use the descriptive titles to guide your expressive choices. For example, 'Lazy Blues' requires a relaxed, slightly swinging *feel*, while 'Fanfare' needs brightness and strong articulation.
Experiment with Unconventional Effects: For pieces that include clusters or glissandi ('Pebbles'), encourage students to approach these 'unusual sound effects' with confidence and strong technique for a deliberate, musical result.
Refine Articulation: Pay close attention to distinguishing between legato (smooth, connected) and staccato (short, detached) touch, as many pieces feature contrast between these two fundamental articulations.

About the Composer :

Peter Wolf is a highly accomplished Hungarian composer, pianist, and orchestrator. He successfully bridges classical training and jazz expertise, having composed extensively for film, stage, and the concert hall, and is a recipient of Artisjus's Life Prize.

Peter Wolf : 獻給年輕鋼琴家的創意曲

副標題 :

Wolf-Temperiertes Klavier 3

內容簡介 :

PÉTER WOLF（1947 年出生）在 Béla Bartók 中學師從 Kornél Zempléni、Ferenc Rados 和 János Gonda 學習古典鋼琴和爵士鋼琴。2015 年，他憑藉關於爵士編曲的論文獲得李斯特音樂學院的 DLA 學位。1969 年，他成為 Ex Antiquis 樂隊的鍵盤手。他創作了許多 20 世紀 70 年代和 80 年代的熱門歌曲，以及流行電影和音樂劇的配樂。他的管弦樂技巧在李斯特室內樂團的音樂會和專輯中得到了展示；他也為 Isaac Stern 的「Kreisler」CD 編排了小提琴作品。他於 1995 年獲得 Fényes Szabolcs 獎，2005 年獲得 Erkel 獎，並於 2018 年獲得 Artisjus 終身成就獎。近年來，他有多部大型作品由優秀的演奏家首演：他的兩部鋼琴協奏曲以及分別為雙簧管、單簧管和小提琴創作的協奏曲。關於《獻給年輕鋼琴家的創意曲》，鋼琴教師 Rita Znamenák 寫道：「本冊明確旨在擴展小學音樂學生三、四年級（當然也包括年紀較大的學生）的曲目。這 23 首創意曲每一首都圍繞一個音樂構思展開和發展。這些短小精悍的曲子以其標題激發孩子們的想像力。教師和學生可以自由選擇需要交叉雙手、琶音、音簇、複音、切分節奏、半音階和踏板技巧的曲目。其中也包含帶有伴奏的旋律、交替雙手演奏、連奏和斷奏、帶有倚音和漣音的音符、爵士重音和滑音。作曲家為勇敢的學生在少數曲目中寫入了不尋常的音效。我最真誠地希望年輕鋼琴家們在學習彼得·沃爾夫的作品中找到樂趣，我鼓勵我的同事們將本冊中的曲目納入他們的教材：或許學生們也會因此對當代音樂更加開放。」

產品特點 :

針對中級學生： 專門為擴展 **小學音樂學生三、四年級** 的曲目而編纂，使其成為該關鍵發展階段的優秀資源。
全面的技巧呈現： 這 23 首創意曲系統地涵蓋了各種中級鋼琴技巧，包括交叉雙手、音簇、複音、切分、半音階和 *爵士重音*，為學生未來的高級曲目做好準備。
專注於想像力與表達： 這些曲子是引人入勝的 *性格小品*，具有富有想像力的標題（「貓咪捉老鼠」、「水坑裡的犀牛」），激發孩子們在發展技巧的同時培養音樂詮釋能力。
當代音樂的入門： 由一位精通古典和爵士樂的作曲家創作，這些曲子提供了溫和而愉快的 **當代和聲和節奏語言** 入門，使學生更容易接受現代音樂。

演奏提示 :

突出音樂構思： 每首創意曲都圍繞一個音樂構思展開。確定核心主題（例如，複音、切分音、琶音）並將練習重點放在以 **清晰和意圖** 執行該特定技巧上。
賦予標題生命力： 使用描述性的標題來指導您的表達選擇。例如，「慵懶的藍調」需要一種輕鬆、略帶搖擺的 *感覺*，而「號角」則需要明亮和強烈的發音。
試驗非傳統音效： 對於包含音簇或滑音的曲目（「鵝卵石」），鼓勵學生以自信和紮實的技巧處理這些「不尋常的音效」，以獲得刻意的音樂效果。
精細化發音： 密切注意區分連奏（平滑、連貫）和斷奏（短促、分離）的觸鍵，因為許多曲目都以這兩種基本發音的對比為特點。
