The Circus Collection is a collection of 8
original piano pieces ranging in ability from early intermediate
to
late intermediate; I consider Dmitri Kabalevsky's
Clowns
an intermediate level piece. The rhythmic and melodic qualities
of these pieces really add to their appeal. Although their harmonies
are fairly conservative, they do have some very mild dissonances.
Children 8-13 will find them especially appealing and fun to
play. One of the interesting features of
The Circus
Collection is that
Circus Time! and
Finale! contain themes and musical ideas from
the other pieces in the collection. You are listening to
Dancing
Monkeys.
