Six Easy Nocturnes in Romantic Style
Peter Rudzik
Categories: Piano Collections/Books
Levels: Intermediate/Late Intermediate (Gr 5-7)
This piano collection has been crafted with the intention of creating beautiful, romantic pieces that are accessible to intermediate students while also being simple enough for teachers to sight read them. Drawing inspiration from the works of composers such as Field, Schumann, Chopin, and Fauré, these pieces offer a fresh perspective on the nocturne form, blending familiarity with individuality.
The tempos vary among the pieces, with some being slow (Nocturnes No. 2, 4, and 6) and others at a medium pace (No. 1, 3, and 5). I chose to avoid exact tempo markings, as I believe that music thrives within a range, allowing performers to interpret and express themselves through their own taste and imagination.
This edition includes courtesy accidentals.
I hope that you will find as much joy in playing these pieces as I did in writing them.

A set of twelve playful and highly imaginative miniatures, each portraying an astounding animal. There is an Annoying Fly with its goofy theme and buzzing effect, Boastful Kangaroo with its left hand leaps and chords that move chromatically. Busy Woodpecker has a truly pecking theme accompanied by fast alberti bass while Tarantula's Tarantella offers yet another challenge in fast playing with a variety of different articulations. Whale Song, Thoughtful Rhino and Hedgehog at Night are more mysterious in nature while Orange Striped Zebra, Silly Little Squirrel and Dancing Penguins are sweet little pieces for children. Happy Grasshopper has a lively and bouncy character that reflect its free and independent nature while March of the Centipedes has quite a mischievous theme. Great for recitals and festivals.
