Bach, as well, used to write pieces to teach his kids music.
I wonder if going back to the roots and simplifying the craft had something to do with their creative process.
- jan_Inkepa 4y agoBartok also did this in his Mikrokosmos - I used them to relearn piano and it was very entertaining to (re-)'learn' piano solely though modernish/Hungarianish music. I wouldn't personally have wanted it for my first attempt at learning piano, but as someone experienced already, it was pretty great!
