March Op.69 No.1

Dmitri Shostakovich

What's this piece like?
"Children's Notebook" is a set of seven solo pieces for piano composed by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1944–1945. The selections were chosen from pieces written by the composer to his daughter, Galina Shostakovich, for her piano studies. Shostakovich recorded all of them during the 1947 Prague Spring Festival. March is a great exercise in the style of a march with a 4/4 tempo. Great to practice repetitions and clean sound.
Who's this piece for?
A very nice piece for those who like original and creative styles.
