This treasure chest of piano gems will delight young players looking for something challenging and sophisticated to play. The original Masters of Our Day, published in 1963 (O4361 - $8.95) brought together intermediate level pieces by key composers of the post-World War Two period. This collection seeks to provide a similar repertoire of sturdy and accessible pieces from current stars of the American musical scene. The result is a seventy-two page book with piano solos by Samuel Adler, Margaret Brouwer, Michael Colgrass, Sebastian Currier, Jon Deak, Norman Dello Joio, David Del Tredeci, Lukas Foss, Daron Hagen, Samuel Jones, David Maslanka, Marga Richter, Carlos Rodriguez, Ned Rorem and Leo Smit. Teachers and advancing intermediate students will find this book to be a real godsend.
