Pierrot and Pierrette Op.25 No.4

Amy Beach

What's this piece like?

This collection is inspired by characters from the popular Italian theatre tradition of Commedia dell' Arte, such as Columbine, Pantalon, Pierrot and Pierrette, etc. Much like Schumann's Scenes from Childhood, these pieces are not intended to be played necessarily by children, but rather they are inspired by them.

Who's this piece for?

An excellent piece for intermediate level pianists who are working on their technique.
