Études by Women Composers is a collection of 42 ground-breaking pieces by female composers, providing exceptional enrichment and expansion of the standard piano repertoire. It is also a great tribute to the genius of women of the 18th to 20th centuries, who have taken an admirably unique approach to piano technique.
Curated and edited by female composer expert Eva Meitner, the collection presents works ranging from intermediate to advanced levels in progressive order. The beautifully crafted pieces are ideal for study and performance, with notes on the technical points covered by each étude, and an index of the specific topics. Through the intelligent combination of musicality and technicality, students will improve their playing in a joyful and natural way. The edition is complemented by short biographies of the composers.
