Robert Starer – Album for Piano

Now back in print, this definitive 240-page collection of the complete piano works of noted composer Robert Starer includes not only his popular ‘Sketches in Color’ but also a large number of previously hard-to-find intermediate pieces perfect for teaching. In typical Starer style, the pieces in the collections Steven Vignettes (1950), Four Seasonal Pieces (1985), Three Israeli Sketches (1957), At Home Alone (1980), and Hexhedron (1971) bear imaginative titles such as The Camel and the Moon, Dancing Next Door, and Doggedly, Lulishly, Almost Pig-Headedly, a literary connection that encourages students to connect emotions to notes. The collection ranges from Starer’s elementary works to his concert works.
