11 Micro Pieza Leo Brouwer 3:08
The disc opens with five pieces from Schumann’s Album für die Jugend, then turns to Pierre Petit’s Toccata, the Intermedio from Granados’ Goyescas, Poulenc’s three Mouvements Perpétuels, and Leo Brouwer’s Micro Pieza.
Heard throughout in arrangements for two guitars, the selection sets Romantic teaching pieces beside twentieth-century miniatures in a compact recital of colour and ensemble.
Artists
Z.O.O. Duo
performer
Z.O.O. Duo, an original, classical guitar duo, features talented guitarists Peter Constant and Marion Schaap, directors of guitar at the Victorian College of the Arts.
Enrique Granados
composer
Enrique Granados was born in Lérida in 1867. He studied the piano and composition in Barcelona and then in Paris, returning to Barcelona in 1889, and won distinction as a pianist and popularity in Spain with his zarzuelas and piano music.
Francis Poulenc
composer
Francis Poulenc's music swings from boulevard wit to peasant devotion. Perpetual-motion piano, chamber sonatas, horn élégies, Christmas and penitential motets, a Gloria, and songs that can flirt, mourn or protest sit side by side in the catalogue.
Robert Schumann
composer
Robert Schumann (1810–1856) was a German composer and music critic of the early Romantic era. His piano works and songs remain among the most enduring of the period.
Leo Brouwer
composer
Leo Brouwer’s guitar music moves between Cuban pulse, modernist experiment and later modal clarity. The Etudes Simples, Hika in memory of Takemitsu, Micro Pieza and Berceuse show how sharply he can shape atmosphere and motif.
Pierre Petit
composer
Pierre Petit (1922–2000) was a French composer of operas, ballets, concertos, chamber music and songs. Move recordings include his piano suite Rome, l’unique objet … and the Toccata.

More to explore
A Handful of Rain
Inspired by Javanese gamelan and Japanese Shinto music, Mark Clement Pollard's ambient concert works pursue beauty and simplicity. A Handful of Rain gathers this acclaimed Australian composer's popular style from the mid-1990s.
Dusting Off Roses
The debut recording of Mark Pollard’s piece for two guitars, played by Z.O.O. Duo – Peter Constant and Marion Schaap – in five short movements of spare, atmospheric chamber writing.
Crossing Paths
Ensemble Liaison and the Tony Gould Trio take turns across the programme: each piece is heard first in a scored reading, then in an improvised jazz response that opens the same melodic and harmonic material to fresh colour.
Summer Waves
Len Vorster plays a personal recital of short piano works by Gershwin, de Falla, Lord Berners, Berkeley, Field, Grieg, Debussy, Poulenc and Ravel, drawn toward summer light, dance rhythm and nocturne stillness.
Enfantines I
Katherine Day’s first solo album gathers piano works by Joachim, Krenek, Granados and Mozart chosen for young players. Her finely sculpted readings treat often-overlooked teaching repertoire with the care usually reserved for the concert canon.
Night Thoughts
During the long still nights of Melbourne’s Covid lockdowns, pianist Len Vorster listened widely and thought hard about what he heard. Those evening ruminations became this programme of fifteen nocturnes and night pieces, from Schumann’s circle to Copland.
