Product Description
The Chinese Zodiac
A collection of 12 miniature piano solos celebrating the animals in the Chinese zodiac. This collection will challenge the intermediate and advanced pianist and explores different styles and techniques that characterize each animal.
The 12 animals are presented in the order of the Zodiac: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The songs can be performed as one suite, or as individual pieces in whatever order you please!
The pieces explore different tempos, different keys, rapid fingering passages, expressive pieces, grace notes, articulation (staccato, accents, slurs, tenuto, legato), ornaments, challenging rhythm, doubled note passages, glissandos, dexterity on black keys, ragtime, boogie woogie, tremelos, swing rhythm, hand crossovers, and jazzy chords as well as more traditional harmonies.
