Late Elementary / Intermediate
This artistic
collection of over 30 piano miniatures are contrasting in nature
– some are energetic, others lyrical – some are sad, others
humorous. With variations on familiar melodies (Twinkle Winkle,
Jack and Jill, Hickory Dickory Dock, and more) included among
Rahbee’s original teaching pieces, these miniatures serve to
help expand the student’s grasp of sound and texture, along with
rhythmic and harmonic concepts. Use your imagination to create your
very own interpretation, and enjoy these wonderful new pieces! |

This composition
is the first of its kind for The FJH Music Contemporary Keyboard
Editions. Written for piano and orchestra, it provides a perfect
showpiece for a student pianist who has an opportunity to play with
an orchestra. The orchestral part has been arranged for a second
piano and also comes with an optional percussion part. It is a
possible modern alternative to the often performed Haydn Concerto
in D Major.

The natural
musicality present in this collection demands the same kind of
careful attention that we expect from the standard canon of
repertoire. These teaching pieces follow in the modern tradition of
pedagogical works by Bartók, Kabalevsky, and others; they are
written to challenge a student's mind, fingers, imagination, and soul. |

Early Intermediate
through Late Intermediate
This two-volume
collection of preludes contains short character pieces with a wide
range of emotional expression and a wide range of technical demands
from intermediate to advanced. The performer may decide to program
these preludes as single pieces or in groupings in any order.
While written in
part as pedagogical exercises, these preludes are beautifully
constructed miniatures that take an honored place among the preludes
of Chopin, Bach, and Scriabin. They are written as single
compositions rather than in cycles like the preludes of Bach and
Chopin. Some reflect the rhythms and dance forms found in the music
of modernists like Ginastera and Ligeti and many are neo-romantic in
style with emotionally expressive melodic content.

The Phantasie
Variations, Op. 12 were commissioned by Phyllis Alpert Lehrer for
her Merkin Hall Debut Concert near Lincoln Center in 1980. The piece
uses two 12-tone rows, opening with the first row in retrograde, as
if regressing back into a subconscious dream state. The rows go
through many transformations stylistically in a variety of expressive
modes. At the end, the row reappears in its natural state, reverting
back to conscious reality. |

Piano Sonata

This engaging and
accessible contemporary sonata has a broad emotional range and is
full of intensity. Each of its four movements makes a strong
statement with relatively few notes. "I have used the 12-tone
language in my own unique way." - Rahbee. The fourth movement,
"Toccata," is often performed as a solo; the arm clusters
are often a special subject of conversation among pianists and audiences. |

Rahbee’s Piano
Sonata No. 2 is an appealing piece in the contemporary genre.
Its wide-ranging expressive array is filled with fervor. The
sonata’s untraditional tonalities allow the advanced student to
experience a broader sense of musical expression. The first movement
is rhapsodic in nature, the second is a playful scherzando, the third
is warm and emotionally expressive, and the last movement is exciting. |

Premiered at
Carnegie Hall in 2004, this adventurous one-movement work provides a
variety of contrasting experiences for both the performer and their
audience. Subtitled "Odyssey," this piece presents a full
range of moods and emotions that will challenge and inspire any pianist. |

"Extremely
positive in nature" has been said to describe the character of Piano
Sonata No. 4 Op. 128.. The energy of this four-movement sonata
is derived from its maestoso first movement—executed with
feelings of happiness-and proceeded by its molto energico e presto
second movement—performed with joy and excitement. The third
movement, expressive and packed with emotion and rubato,
guides the student into the fourth movement, titled Toccata, a
work presented with boundless energy! This movement may also be
performed as a separate piece. |
