The armenian piano music has gone a way of more than one and a half century long. The works for piano by composers of the pre-Soviet period laid the foundation for a special national style. In the opuses of Armenian authors there is, on the one hand, a trend towards the forms of European classical and romantic miniatures, and on the other hand, a closeness to national musical folklore. The collection includes selected pieces by D. Tchouhadjian, M. Ekmalian, N. Tigranian, Komitas, A. Spendiarov. The edition is addressed to students of music colleges, higher schools, performing pianists, and piano music lovers.
