The heart of Remo Vinciguerra's methodological approach permeates every page of this Gran Metodo: a fundamental, articulated and creative work, in which the experience of the "teacher most loved by young pianists" is distilled, almost a spiritual testament for present and future generations of teachers and students.
Designed for the preparatory years and for the first course, the Gran Metodo - in two books - accompanies young pianists according to a gradual and progressive program, capable of combining theory and practice in a single, compelling journey of discovery.
An educational journey, as the composer himself defined it, for the very young students who, in complicity with their teachers, explore the keyboard, delve into musical theory and instrumental technique, experiment with different styles, sounds, harmonies. Above all, they play: pages and pages of original pieces that, by developing technical mastery and agility, instill curiosity and passion, aesthetic taste and musicality.
In this second book, the young pianist:
- expands his theoretical knowledge and mastery of the keyboard
- experiments with new techniques
- deals with studies of mechanism, agility and speed
- introduces the pedal
- deals with pieces in different styles: from baroque to classical and romantic, from jazz to pop, to rock
- plays four hands with the maestro
- learns to play and feel different rhythms and sounds
The composer's Farewell, the last piece in this second book, is actually a Goodbye. Once this educational journey is over, new musical horizons, enclosed in the pages of his beautiful collections, await the young musicians, ready to be explored through the keys of the piano.
