The Prodigy Who Saw Into the Future – Lili Boulanger’s Piano Music
A teenage girl with forward-looking ideas, Lili Boulanger had enough determination to successfully navigate the competitive, patriarchal, and conservative music scene of Paris. Despite a constant fight against illness, she achieved great mastery as a composer, and left behind a significant catalog of works characterized by intense emotional depth, in a sophisticated, post-Romantic, Impressionist style. Now, all her scores for solo piano are available to Piano Street’s members. Read more

Aragon - Suite Espanola
on: September 16, 2005, 05:29:29 AM
Hey,

I haven't been on pf for such a long time!!! Anyways, I have decided (now that I have resumed piano lessons) to learn Aragon from Albeniz' Suite Espanola.  It's a great piece!  I was just wondering what grade any of you Canadians (or peole who are familiar with the RCM grading system) would put this piece in, becuase it's not in the syllabus.  I was thinking around grade 10 at first, but after learning certain sections (and seeing that nos.5&7 from the suite are graded as ARCT) that it might be ARCT difficulty.  This piece really doesn't sound as hard as it is!!!  I want to know this becuase I might end up sending it in to be graded if I want to do it for my grade 10 exam, and I already have the one ARCT piece I am allowed to play, so if they grade it as ARCT, I can't play it!! Of course, the real reason is just because I want to know, but!!!!

THANKS
Fred Smalls
