Piano works undoubtedly dominate in children’s music written by S. Slonimsky.
In these pieces the author reflect the world of the modern child with its characteristic emotions, aspirations, observations and impressions — all by means of music.
The masterly written piano music captivates children with its creative urge and introduces them to the tradition of home music making.
Sergei Slonimsky’s piano cycles feature pictures of nature, portraits of literature characters, even fleeting states of mind, the content of which is revealed in the form of a short title. This descriptiveness of Slonimsky’s works for children is often connected with an allusion to this or that musical style.
