Collaborative repertoire takes pianism to the next level!

THE REST: for pianists offers engaging keyboard excerpts from the chamber and orchestral repertoire. Whether contributing to an intimate duo, an expansive orchestral setting, or something between, each of these concise passages in style and technique spotlights a specific role for the keyboard within the demands of a soundscape.

Liberated from always providing the beginning, middle end, melody and accompaniment… and the entire rhythm section… the pianist can focus on the unique technical, artistic and collaborative requirements of each scenario. Beautifully printed on quality paper with non-scratch spiral binding, the book showcases 48 excerpts which are thoughtfully edited and annotated with practice/performance tips, historical context and more.
