Celebration Series Perspectives' We are pleased to present CelebratíonseriesPerspectíves@,the fourth edition of this renowned piano series. The Celebration Series@ was first published in 1987 to international acclaim. Subsequent editions have built on this success: Celebration Series@, The Piano Odqsseq@ (2001) in particular tappecl into the wealth
of new repertoire availabie at the dawn of the new millennlum, and took into account the changing interests and needs of teachers This achievement was recognized when The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited received the 2007 MTNA'Frances Ciark Keyboard Pedagogy Award for the Celebration Series@.
breathtaking in its scope, presenting a kaleidoscopic overview of keyboard music from the last four centuries. The Piano Repertoire books encompass early elementary to early intermediate levels (Preparatory to 4); intermediate to late intermediate levels (5 to 7); and early advanced to advanced levels (8 to 10). The repertoire comprises a carefully selected grouping of pieces from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th-, and 21st-century style periods. Píano Stud,ies/Etudes books present compositions especially suited for building the technique and musicality relevant to the repertoire of each level. StudentWorkbooks and the corresponding Answer Book (Preparatory to 8), as well as the outstanding recordings of the entire series, are available to assist in the study and enjoyment of the music. In addition, the comprehensive Handbookt'orTeachers is an invaluable pedagogical resource. Celebration Seríes Perspectives@ is
A Note on Editing and Performance Practice Most Baroque and early Classical composers wrote few dynamics, articulation, or other performance indications in their scores. Interpretation was left up to the performer, with the expectation that the performance practice was understood. Even into the 19th century, composers'scores could vary from copy to copy or edition to edition The editors of Celebration Series Perspectives@ have consulted original sources wherever possible and have kept editorial additions to a minimum. Metronome markings include a range to assist the student and teacher in arriving at a suitable tempo for each piece. Editorial markings, including fingering and the execution of ornaments, are intended to be helpful rather than definitive. This edition follows the policy that the bar line cancels accidentals. In accordance with current practice, cautionary accidentals are added only in cases of possible ambiguity.
Students and teachers should refer to the companion guides-the Stud,entWorftbooks and the Handbook for Teachers-for further discussion of style and pedagogical elements. For assessment requirements of The Royal Conservatory and the Music Development Program, please refer to the Ptano Sqltabus, 2008 Edition Dr. Trish Sauerbrei
