Pentakosmos, this wonderful compendium of original works written for piano, reveals not only the composer's capacity for creative intelligence, but also his profound command of the instrument and of musical language in its harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and structural aspects. Each piece offers pianists the opportunity to experience the composer's sonic universe, full of jazz ideas and influences from various styles and genres from many countries. This cosmos of ideas, which involve the pentatonic universe, defines, aside from the artistic contribution, an important didactic material that fills a gap in the piano repertoire. The choice of repertoire plays an important role in the formation of the student, who should be exposed to a variety of styles. In addition, the meaning and motivating value of a work can positively influence musical learning. Considering the limitation of the traditional piano repertoire, which is largely based on the European repertoire, I recommend the inclusion of this book in piano course programs, so that pianists can develop their musicality and psychomotricity, as well as motivate themselves through a modern repertoire that is artistically attractive to the ears. Pentakosmos , ce merveilleux recueil d'oeuvres originales ???crites pour piano, r???v???le non seulement la capacit??? d'intelligence cr???atrice du compositeur, mais aussi sa profonde ma???trise de l'instrument et du langage musical dans ses aspects harmoniques, m???lodiques, rythmiques et structurels. Chaque pi???ce offre aux pianistes l'occasion de d???couvrir l'univers sonore du compositeur, qui regorge d'id???es de jazz et d'influences de diff???rents styles et genres provenant de divers pays. Ce cosmos d'id???es, qui implique l'univers pentatonique, d???finit, outre l'apport artistique, un important mat???riel didactique qui vient combler une lacune dans le r???pertoire pianistique. Compte tenu de la limitation du r???pertoire traditionnel pour piano, qui est largement bas??? sur le r???pertoire europ???en, je recommande l'inclusion de ce livre dans les programmes des cours de piano, afin que les pianistes puissent d???velopper leur musicalit??? et leur psychomotricit???, en plus d'???tre motiv???s par un r???pertoire actuel artistiquement attrayant pour les oreilles. Pentakosmos, este maravilloso compendio de obras originales escritas para piano, revela no s???lo la capacidad de inteligencia creativa del compositor, sino tambi???n su profundo dominio del instrumento y del lenguaje musical en sus aspectos arm???nicos, mel???dicos, r???tmicos y estructurales. Cada pieza ofrece a los pianistas la oportunidad de experimentar el universo sonoro del compositor, que est??? lleno de ideas de jazz e influencias de diferentes estilos y g???neros de varios pa???ses. Este cosmos de ideas, que envuelve el universo pentat???nico, define, adem???s de la aportaci???n art???stica, un importante material did???ctico que viene a llenar un vac???o en el repertorio pian???stico. Teniendo en cuenta la limitaci???n del repertorio tradicional para piano, que se basa en gran medida en el repertorio europeo, recomiendo la inclusi???n de este libro en los programas de los cursos de piano, para que los pianistas puedan desarrollar su musicalidad y psicomotricidad, adem???s de motivarse a trav???s de un repertorio actual y art???sticamente atractivo para los o???dos.
