Product Description

For late intermediate/grade 5-7 pianists who enjoy lyrical, dramatic, quirky pieces that will engage their imaginations...
Everyone is familiar with the typical Magritte paintings: surreal skies filled with bowler-hatted men; a green apple filling an entire room but Im finding that with time, Im increasingly fascinated with lesser-known works of the artist and intrigued by their titles. I found out that over 170 of Magrittes paintings were given their titles by the surrealist poet Louis Scutenaire. Magritte would invite Scutenaire over on Sundays and ask him to think up titles for his latest paintings. As Scutenaire was later awarded the Grand Prix de lHumour noir (The Grand Prize in Black Humour) I imagine the poet and the artist having a lot of wicked fun, thinking up the sometimes totally absurd titles. I found myself imagining the music expressed by The Alphabet of Revelation or The Pleasure Principle, having no reference at all to the paintings bearing those titles. So this is what the present collection is: imaginative realisations of some of Magrittes titles which are not under copyright, as opposed to his paintings.
