The Ten Shape Preludes are so named because each piece explores a pleasing shape in the hand or hands on the piano. Composed by Loretta Notareschi and performed by Steven Beck, the set expresses a palette of vivid melodies and colorful harmonies. With a variety of difficulty levels, the preludes are accessible for intermediate to advanced pianists and are excellent for recitals, competitions, and sight-reading practice.
