Century Piano Collection summarises the great variety of approaches and compositional techniques that marked the 20th Century. Drawing inspiration from Bartoks Mikrokosmos, it contains a series of progressively more difficult piano works, ending with compositions suitable for the concert hall. While Mikrokosmos adheres to essentially one type of folksong, this collection uses folk music from a range of cultures for which Sitsky feels a personal affinity. In essence, it is a tribute to what Australia is now: a multicultural country. All the pieces in this collection have an educational focus and even the simplest settings have some kind of twist, be it technical or musical. Above all, each piece will stimulate the students imagination, proving that piano playing can be fun as well as educational.
