Abstract:
Firestarters 4 is a collection of six recital pieces by composers from Australia, Canada and New Zealand, suitable for performers of approxiamately Grade 6 to Diploma level ability. This is an imaginative collection of pieces for four to six hands by contemporary composers. The music encompasses a variety of styles and sonorities and is a welcome addition to the repertoire for 2-3 pianists at one piano. My contribution was to edit the music prior to publication and to annotate each piece with suggestions for performance and interpretation. .
