Essence of One (1P4H)
Original Miniatures for Right Hand Alone & Left Hand Alone
by Scott Price
Early Intermediate to Late Intermediate (RCM Levels 3–8)
TGM00054
Essence of One was conceived as a set of graded character pieces for right and left hand alone. While composed in major and minor keys, many of the pieces have modal harmonic shifts and hemiola elements in the rhythm. They also serve as textural studies in voicing melodies and in balancing accompaniments while playing with one hand. Performers should feel welcome to express melodic freedom while exploring the textures. Time is needed to move the arms and hands over a wide range of the keyboard and a performer should never feel rushed in expressing themselves through these pieces. Personal enjoyment is key, and the printed score is only the beginning in learning how to bring this type of texture alive in sound.

Debbie Leavitt –
I ordered the Scott Price, Essence of One, and am so pleased with the music! My 16-year-old student broke his thumb and his family thought he would have to stop piano for awhile, but this book came along at just the right time, and I was able to convince them that he can continue to play one-handed and keep him coming to lessons. So, thank you for having this music on your website!!
