Product Description

From Amazon.com

For her first full-length exploration of the toy piano's slightly out-of-tune and whimsically off-kilter, percussive sound, Margaret Leng Tan covers a wide variety of material, cobbling together a surprisingly coherent, entertaining effort. The Art of the Toy Piano looks at first like it might be one of those sub-Kronos hipster records, sticking as it does Erik Satie next to Ralph Mostel, John Lennon next to Stephen Montague, and Guy Klucevsek next to Beethoven. But Tan not only has the sensitivity and control to mix these works without mashing them but also celebrates the odd, clunky musicality of the instrument. In addition to "real" piano, there's a smattering of funky kids' instruments, from a distorted drum machine to whistles, melodica, and toy accordion. --Mike McGonigal

4.0 out of 5 stars これがおもちゃ?, 2002/11/12
 ちゃんとしたピアニストがトイピアノを、おもちゃとは思えない響きで弾く。すべての曲が立派な作品にきこえる。ここに収録された多くは編曲ものだが、トイピアノの為の作品も収録。このCDから察するに、トイピアノは立派な楽器である。音の強弱も出せるし、独自の音色を持っている。チェンバロに少し似ているような気がした。ピアノだけでなく、トイピアノというジャンルがあってもよいと感じられた。
 ひとつだけ難を言えば、奏者は9種類のトイピアノを持っていると書いたあったのだが、それぞれの曲に使用されたトイピアノの種類などが記載されていないところである。
