So far, I've only seen 3 of the 12 books in this collection, but I like them quite a bit. This one is for late intermediate students, and is a wonderful collection of literature from a variety of composers. There are two equal-part duets, a Christmas arrangement, 2 showpiece solos, 2 lyrical solos, and a classical theme solo (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring). Demands on the player include triplets and sixteenth notes, mixed meters, scales in tenths, glissandos, melody and accomp. within the same hand, and simple ornaments. The pieces are quite varied and artistic - there are a couple of Spanish-style pieces as well as one with some dissonance. The author helpfully provides a note about the inspiration for the piece - a pink and orange sky at sunrise seen on a walk by the North Sea in Reykjavik, Iceland. The visual image of contrasting pinks and oranges will help the student come to terms with the dissonances in the piece, which is serene in spite of the harmony. The book includes a CD and several pages that address preparation for a performance, including a bull's eye game for practicing small sections. ( )
