Foreword
I remember the fun that I had studying repertoire in
a variety of keys. Experiencing the unique character
and physical sensations that each key created was
a fascinating journey. Some composers who wrote
collections using all major and minor keys include
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), Carl Czerny
(1791–1857), Alexander Scriabin (1872–1915), Paul
Hindemith (1895–1963), and Dmitri Shostakovich
(1906–1975). Following in this tradition, I have
written the In All Keys series that includes original
solos in all major and minor keys.
Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) used the following order
for his 24 Preludes, Op. 28: C major, A minor, G major,
E minor, D major, B minor, etc. The order follows
the circle of fifths, with major keys followed by their
relative minor keys. Each book of In All Keys contains
16 pieces and follows Chopin’s circle-of-fifths model,
with major keys followed by their relative minor keys.
Book 1 features one piece in C major, one piece in A
minor, and the seven major “sharp” keys (G, D, A,
E, B, F-sharp, and C-sharp major) and their relative
minors (E, B, F-sharp, C-sharp, G-sharp, D-sharp,
and A-sharp minor). Book 2 includes one piece in C
major, one piece in A minor, and the seven major “flat”
keys (F, B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, D-flat, G-flat, and C-flat
major) and their relative minors (D, G, C, F, B-flat,
E-flat, and A-flat minor). The C major and A minor
pieces of Book 1 are different than the C major and
A minor pieces of Book 2. However, the pieces with
five, six, and seven sharps in Book 1 (B, F-sharp, and
C-sharp major; and G-sharp, D-sharp, and A-sharp
minor) have been transposed to their enharmonic
flat keys for Book 2. Between the two books, there
are a total of 26 different pieces, six of which appear
in both sharp keys and their enharmonic flat-key
equivalents. Experiencing the pieces in enharmonic
keys provides students with the opportunity to read
music in challenging keys while playing familiar
notes and rhythms.
By learning these pieces, students will develop reading
skills and reinforce their study of scales, arpeggios,
and chords. The pieces will also provide effective
solos for recitals and competitions. Through these
pieces, I hope that students will become acquainted
with each key, enjoy performing a variety of styles,
and unlock the skills needed to explore repertoire
In All Keys.
