Martha Sherrill Kelsey follows up her popular Federation-listed Poetry at the Piano for the intermediate pianist with three additional volumes, composed for the advancing younger student. Popular poetry by such well-known poets as Robert Louis Stevenson are presented with each piece, either as lyrics within the work or as a introductory poem which is then reflected in the mood of the piece that follows it. Critics describe Kelsey's compositional style as "delightful, fresh, imaginative" and "sophisticated to the ear while remaining accessible to the fingers." These newest works are no exception. Filled with captivating images and engaging themes creatively woven into exciting recital repertoire, these collections are sure to become favorites of students and teachers alike.
