Celebration Series
Perspectives'
We are pleased to present CelebratonseriesPerspectves@,the fourth edition of this renowned piano series.
The Celebration Series@ was first published in 1987 to international acclaim. Subsequent editions have
built on this success: Celebration Series@, The Piano Odqsseq@ (2001) in particular tappecl into the wealth

of new repertoire availabie at the dawn of the new millennlum, and took into account the changing
interests and needs of teachers This achievement was recognized when The Frederick Harris Music Co.,
Limited received the 2007 MTNA'Frances Ciark Keyboard Pedagogy Award for the Celebration Series@.

breathtaking in its scope, presenting a kaleidoscopic overview of


keyboard music from the last four centuries. The Piano Repertoire books encompass early elementary
to early intermediate levels (Preparatory to 4); intermediate to late intermediate levels (5 to 7); and
early advanced to advanced levels (8 to 10). The repertoire comprises a carefully selected grouping of
pieces from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th-, and 21st-century style periods. Pano Stud,ies/Etudes
books present compositions especially suited for building the technique and musicality relevant to the
repertoire of each level. StudentWorkbooks and the corresponding Answer Book (Preparatory to 8), as well
as the outstanding recordings of the entire series, are available to assist in the study and enjoyment of
the music. In addition, the comprehensive Handbookt'orTeachers is an invaluable pedagogical resource.
Celebration Seres Perspectives@ is

A Note on Editing and Performance Practice


Most Baroque and early Classical composers wrote few dynamics, articulation, or other performance
indications in their scores. Interpretation was left up to the performer, with the expectation that the
performance practice was understood. Even into the 19th century, composers'scores could vary from
copy to copy or edition to edition The editors of Celebration Series Perspectives@ have consulted original
sources wherever possible and have kept editorial additions to a minimum.
Metronome markings include a range to assist the student and teacher in arriving at a suitable tempo
for each piece. Editorial markings, including fingering and the execution of ornaments, are intended to
be helpful rather than definitive.
This edition follows the policy that the bar line cancels accidentals. In accordance with current practice,
cautionary accidentals are added only in cases of possible ambiguity.

Students and teachers should refer to the companion guides-the Stud,entWorftbooks and the Handbook
for Teachers-for further discussion of style and pedagogical elements. For assessment requirements of
The Royal Conservatory and the Music Development Program, please refer to the Ptano Sqltabus, 2008
Edition
