Jane Hergo's first released edition in 1988 Francis Clark stated was "Well written", was submitted for publication with the Boston Music Company upon Clark's recommendation to Jane for pursuing as a publisher. These twelve pieces, all in middle C position, have been updated for detailed elements of phrasing. As with many of these books for young readers, the large print will be easy on the eyes. The book is plastic coil bound, as most books now are from Nouvelle Music, for laying flat when open to any page on a piano.

Give-and-Take (NMP 0073) $4.00

NMP 0073

Young performers play a conversation between the hands sharing themes of the two cyclic sections. The shifting melody alludes to the give-and-take of how friends spend time together. Like close friends that can finish each others sentences, the melody of the A section becomes further fragmented as it quickly passes between the hands.

Noteworthy Elementary Solos will provide for the young performer a variety of expectations as they work through the collection . Shifting hand placements by octave, hand crossing, tempo changes within a solo, and moving from key signatures implied with accidentals to those with key signatures await the reader. Solos are primarily in C major with one in D minor and two in D Major. For the performer experienced in five finger position works without much hand movement, the collection will stretch them outside their comfort zone as they progress through the book. Titles include, Little Cat, Lost Quarter Blues, Hello Sunshine, Missy Moo, The Wind-Up Cow, Oops! Hit a Bump, Stargazing, My Day, Jiggity Jig, Big Dog Luke and A New Little Minuet. The minuet in D Major concludes the book and while on the surface may appear fairly simple, the piece contains a variety of melodic movement between the two hands including contrary, oblique and parallel motion among the voices. Sometimes the motion between voices are by step in one hand and a leap in the other to further challenge the performer's reading skills.

  • Several individual titles in this book available under the category digital downloads for purchase in the piano music menu above.
