The Piano Performance Festival Collection™ • Volume 1 is a collection of 18 choice keyboard works that span the 17th to 20th centuries. The album reflects an assortment of historical styles and performance levels.

Each work is thoroughly researched from its earliest known sources. The objective is to provide an Urtext edition of these festival pieces. Only suggested fingerings and limited ancillary dynamic marks (indicated in parenthesis) are added.

Recorded MIDI performances are meticulously mastered to represent achievable stylistic interpretations. Right and left-hand content is split into individual tracks. Likewise, recorded damper and una corda pedal changes are isolated into separate tracks. The option to deselect these tracks during playback equips students to practice each hand alone and to furnish their own pedaling tactics.

When historically applicable, harpsichord tracks are provided to offer students an aural attentiveness to the original instrument of composition. The album also includes a harpsichord performance of the Menuet in D Minor by Lully realizing the Baroque performance practice of notes inégales.
