The Calendar - 366 Compositions

For a year, I wrote a composition for piano every day. As such, The Calendar consists of 365 compositions + 1 (leap year). Because the compositions were written on the day, this album is also a diary. What did I write on your birthday?

2 do-it-yourself compositions per month have been added to the diary. I made the start, can you or your pupil finish them?

A number of compositions were written in a unusual time signature. Video with score: June 11 in 7/16, May 1 in 3/2, April 18 in 5/8.

Download 3 compositions with unusual time signatures for free (pdf). Please listen to April 18 first. That one is difficult.

Download the free index (pdf). 79 pages with 366 examples of keys, time signatures, rhythms and patterns that might inspire you. You may use the beginning of each composition copyright free!
