Description: Silhouettes: Nine Childhood Pictures for the Piano, ranks high in popularity among the piano works of Vladimir Rebikov, who is often referred to as the father of Russian modernism in music. His earliest works strongly show the influence of Tchaikowsky, but he soon made extensive exploitation of the whole-tone scale and identified with the impressionistic movement. Rubikov's Silhouettes explores a variety of composing techniques to provide, through simple, short pieces, an effective and valuable introduction to impressionistic music. Published by Alfred.
