Reviews

  • “Gruenberg's collections will undoubtedly prove an important source for the continuing discovery of inspiring and enduring music. We must hope that many of the pieces here will quickly and rightly make their way into the core piano pedagogy and recital repertoire. These significant volumes reward our recent curiosity with a substantial seam of brilliant repertoire. Simply put, the collections are outstanding, a landmark achievement and essential milestone which every intermediate or advanced pianist should rush to welcome.” -- Pianodao Blog
  • “...this is a sourcebook from which teachers and players will discover the riches of the repertoire at this level, and from which festival and exam boards might choose material for their syllabus.”--Pianodao Blog.
