Witches, Fairies and Ghosts

28 Fantastic and Spooky Piano Pieces for Children

Piano Pictures, Vol. 1

Introduction :

Step into a world of magic, mystery, and a little bit of mischief! Witches, Fairies and Ghosts is a captivating collection of 28 easy piano pieces designed to spark the imagination of young pianists. From the ethereal dance of a fairy to the spooky footsteps of a nightly ghost, this volume brings together "fantastic" and "spooky" themes from a wide range of renowned composers. It serves as a colorful and instructive guide for children to explore descriptive music and storytelling through the keyboard.

Product Features :

Published by Schott Music as the first volume in the Piano Pictures series, this book features works by masters such as Schumann, Grieg, Khachaturian, and Gubaidulina. The pieces are carefully selected for their pedagogical value, helping students master varied articulations, dynamic contrasts, and emotional expression while playing music that they find genuinely exciting and "cool."

Performance Tips :

1. Imaginary Soundscapes: Encourage the student to describe the "story" behind each title—how does a "Bewitched Dwarf" wake up, or what does a "Mountain Echo" sound like on the piano?
2. Contrast in Touch: These pieces are essential for developing touch. Practice light, sparkling staccato for the fairies and heavy, mysterious legato or sudden accents for the ogres and giants.
3. Dynamic Drama: Use the "spooky" pieces to practice sudden subito piano or forte to create a sense of surprise and suspense.
4. Atmospheric Pedaling: In pieces like "Dancing Ghosts," experiment with the sustain pedal to create a misty, blurred sound that enhances the supernatural theme.

Composer Highlights :

This volume features a diverse lineup of legendary composers including Robert Schumann, Edvard Grieg, Aram Khachaturian, and Sofia Gubaidulina, alongside modern pedagogical experts like Mike Schoenmehl and Hermann Regner.

女巫、仙子與幽靈

28 首為兒童編寫的奇幻與驚悚鋼琴小曲集

鋼琴畫像系列，第一冊

內容簡介 :

進入一個充滿魔法、神祕與一點點惡作劇的世界！《女巫、仙子與幽靈》是一個迷人的選集，收錄了 28 首旨在激發年幼鋼琴家想像力的簡單曲目。從仙子輕盈的舞蹈到幽靈神祕的腳步聲，本冊匯集了多位知名作曲家關於「奇幻」與「驚悚」的主題。它是兒童探索描述性音樂與透過琴鍵講故事的生動指南。

產品特點 :

由 Schott Music 出版，作為《鋼琴畫像》系列的第一冊，本書收錄了舒曼、葛利格、哈察都量與古拜杜里娜等大師的作品。這些樂曲經過精心挑選，具有極高的教學價值，能幫助學生在演奏令人興奮且「酷炫」的音樂時，掌握多樣的發音法、力度對比與情感表達。

演奏提示 :

1. 想像音樂風景： 鼓勵學生描述每個標題背後的「故事」——例如「被施法的矮人」是如何醒來的？或者「山谷迴聲」在鋼琴上聽起來應該是什麼樣子？
2. 觸鍵對比： 這些樂曲對於發展觸鍵感至關重要。練習用輕盈、靈動的「斷奏」來表現仙子，用沉重、神祕的「連奏」或突如其來的重音來表現巨人與食人魔。
3. 力度戲劇性： 利用這些帶有驚悚氣氛的曲目，練習突然的「突強」或「突弱」，營造驚喜與懸念感。
4. 氛圍踏板： 在《跳舞的幽靈》等曲目中，嘗試運用延音踏板創造出一種迷離、模糊的音響，增強超自然的主題氛圍。
