Now available in paperback! B©la Bart³k''s Mikrokosmos is a collection of 153 pieces for piano designed by the composer as a series graded according to difficulty. The pieces were written between 1926 and 1939, and have become by far the best-known series of teaching pieces by a major composer in the twentieth century. This in-depth study investigates Bart³k''s Mikrokosmos from three main viewpoints: the genesis of the pieces, their pedagogical value, and their stylistic qualities. The book is intended for piano teachers, students, and performers as well as anyone interested in Bart³k''s life and work as pianist, educator, and composer. Cloth originally published in 2002 under ISBN 0-8108-4427-3.

Industry Reviews

Dr. Suchoff has given us the tools with which to fashion an approach to the teaching and performance of the Mikrokosmos. Written in a most accessible style, the result is a source book destined to accompany the Mikrokosmos into the future as part of our musical heritage. -- Walter Ehret, NYSSMA News
As it appears to me, it deals of a very good work and I shall not fail to recommend it to those who ask for information on Mikrokosmos. -- Denijs Dille, Budapest Bartok Archivum
This book is excellent, especially so because of its comprehensiveness. An invaluable text for every student and teacher of piano. -- John P. Paul, The Catholic University of America
For anyone who is interested in Mikrokosmos's relationship to Bartok's overall output or who uses the collection as part of their piano teaching, Suchoff's book will be essential reading. * Music Teacher *
Among the more notable literary contributions is Benjamin Suchoff's extensive monograph, Mikrokosmos, written with meticulous care and a vast knowledge. -- John Weissmann, Studia Musicologica
