Playlists and Reading Lists for the Listen Wider Challenge

Challenge

  1. A piece specifically for children by a composer or songwriter who usually writes for adults

Pieces "for children" could be interpreted in a couple of ways: works for children to perform, or works meant for young audiences. I decided to list works for young performers, and focused on piano works. The composers were active in the 19th and 20th centuries, and each wrote a set a piano works for juvenile performers, although most of their other works are for adults. Among this week's pieces are samples from those sets by Amy Beach, Bela Bartok, and Lepo Sumera.
