The breadth and depth of contemporary thought is quite astonishing seen in this late ‘90s overview ... late 20th-century thinking without tears, geared towards open young minds - this is truly a must-have!’ Piano Jul/Aug ‘99 ‘The mixing of composers and idioms in one volume will be most marked and successful in the long-awaited easier Spectrum which, with its companion, will represent in a thorough-going, user-friendly and exciting way the state of play at the end of our century’ Piano in Education May ‘99 ‘Spectrum 2 explores succinctly many pianistic and notational problems across the gamut of contemporary idioms, and will appeal to children and adults alike, as had been demonstrated internationally with the twenty pieces of the original Spectrum ...
