5 years in the making, lacking since the invention of the piano: PEYOTL by composer-pianist Hans Cafmeyer and researcher-pianist Luk Vaes - volume 1 for piano solo.
While improper piano playing is virtualy as old as the instrument, the pedagogical applications show how much of a taboo this type of approaching the instrument still is. Especially the pre-conservatory teaching suffers from a limited repertoire: pieces are often really for professional pianists but made technically 'simple', or they rely on graphical notation that sparks only a specific kind of interpretation and learning curve, and often neglect the aesthetic interests of children. PEYOTL aims to integrate extended techniques in the pedagogy of proper piano playing, simultaneously stimulating a nuanced approach to the piano's sound and to the techniques' potential.
Volume 1 of PEYOTL is available for download at http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/…/peyotl-volume-1-d…/20405472…
There will be several volumes of scores as well as video performances by the composer, by children, video manuals, etc. on http://tinyurl.com/hanscafmeyer.
News of additional materials, volumes, etc. will be posted at on academia.edu as well as on https://www.facebook.com/PeyotlForPiano/
PEYOTL is a research project hosted by the Orpheus Institute.
