Molodynska-Wheeler, Marta - Nuciaki

Nuciaki for piano is a unique collection of compositions that combine elements of classical and folk music with a somewhat lighter – dance, jazz, and Latin American – touch. The pieces included in the collection are aimed at young enthusiasts of piano who want to explore various styles of music and develop their skills in a classical technique, interpretative layers, tonal sensitivity, as well as in the field of popular music. In Nuciaki, pianists will find articulative, rhythmic, and harmonic challenges, tailored to a relatively early stage of learning to play. Accepting them will result in acquiring new skills and a greater sense of comfort in performing pieces across diverse musical styles. Marta Mołodyńska-Wheeler [from the introduction]
