Abstract
This dissertation explores numerous piano pieces, by major composers, written for children. Each piece is discussed in analytical, musical and pianistic points of view as well as its pedagogical significance and some ideas regarding performance practice. Chapter 1 explores three collections of works by three composers (mainly Russian-speaking composers) and chapter 2 deals with pieces from two collections of works by twenty composers (from various nations). A number of pieces in chapter 1 have modal qualities as well as Russian traditional folklore. The music pieces studied in chapter 2 include musical elements of twentieth century including impressionism, neo-classicism, serialism, minimalism, chromaticism, etc.;Each piece is graded in Easy (Grade 3), Easy (Grade 4), Intermediate (Grade 5), Intermediate (Grade 6), Intermediate/Advanced (Grade 7), Intermediate/Advanced (Grade 8), or Advanced (Grade 9 and up) level.;The appendix includes titles and composers of useful piano pieces not studied in the dissertation.
