Piano Performance Festival Collection • Volume 2A

The Piano Performance Festival Collection™ – Volume 2A is a collection of 9 choice keyboard works that span the 17th and 18th centuries. The album reflects an assortment of compositional 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, any 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 strategies.

When historically applicable, harpsichord tracks are provided to offer students an aural attentiveness to the original instrument of composition.
