about

PERPETUAL MOTION is a collection of ten evocative pieces for young pianists to explore and enjoy. Each piece was conceived to focus on a particular technical requirement yet it is also a complete piece of music in itself, which should be interpreted as a little sound story. Suitable for players of approximately Grade 3-5 level

The printed collection, which is published by Faber Music, is available to buy from the Evelyn Glennie shop at www.evelyn.co.uk

Evelyn writes:

"The piano has been an important part of my life since the age of eight. I used to love playing collections of piano pieces for young people by composers such as Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Corea and others. Several of those pieces I have since arranged for percussion. I continue to play and use the piano in my professional career whether to compose, learn scores or simply for my own relaxation.

PERPETUAL MOTION grew out of a desire to write my own collection of piano pieces specifically for young people. The pieces all have certain technical challenges that will help develop your pianistic prowess, but I also see them as little sound stories. These 'stories' can be developed in any way you wish by allowing your imagination and curiosity to take you on a journey of discovery!"
