A note from the composer: “Through the Windowpane is a prequel to A Child’s Garden of Verses, my first set of solos based on poems by Robert Louis Stevenson. The playing level of this new collection is easier than the first book. The pieces have been written for the early level pianists, giving them the opportunity to experience and experiment with the wonderful rainbow of sound colors they can create at the piano.8.95 All the pieces in Through the Windowpane feature a keyboard range of at least three to four octaves. I have tried to limit the challenges in each piece to specific technical and musical concepts necessary for successfully making the transition from the beginning method book to early classical repertoire. Pedal markings can be adjusted to suit the student’s ability: more pedal may be added with appropriate teacher guidance.”
