Sometimes composers' easy music for students represents some of their best efforts. This program is made up of music that may be easy to play but obviously wasn't easy to write, played by first-class pianists. JS Bach - 2 Part Inventions (3/4/5) - Glenn Gould D. Shostakovich - 3 Fantastic Dances - Dmitri Shostakovich (1956 broadcast) F. Mendelssohn - 6 Children's Pieces, Op. 72 - Daniel Barenboim B. Bartok - For Children (Volume 1) - Lili Kraus S. Prokofiev - 6 pieces from "Children's Music" - Igor Zhukov Why would a great pianist perform music written for beginners? Because sometimes it's some of the composer's best music. In this program, five major pianists (including a major composer-pianist, Shostakovich) play music that was written for students, but despite the technical simplicity of the works their musical content is still first-rate.
