This collection utilizes the naturalpentatonic scaleprovided exclusively by the black keys, which Kodly noted in his preface as a “ready, distinct reality which doesn’t need any explanation.”The primary goal of these24 short canonsis to achieve a high level ofconcentration and aural development. The exercises are not purely instrumental; some are written usingsol-fa notationfor the first part, which the student plays, while they simultaneously sing the second part. This method combines keyboard familiarity with the essentialKodly Methodprinciple ofinner hearingandpolyphonic practice. This concise, 12-page volume is an excellent tool forpiano teachersintroducing pentatonic harmony andtwo-part independence.ttekints(Hungarian)A24 kis knon a fekete billentyknKodly Zoltn egyedlll s zsenilis hozzjrulsa akezdk hangszeres oktatshoz, klnsen a zongorhoz.

This removes the challenge of semi-tones and accidental usage for beginners, allowing them to focus solely onrhythm and two-part independence.Integrated Training:The requirement for the student to sing one part while playing the other is a hallmark of Kodly’s methodology, known for training theinner earto hear multiple parts simultaneouslya crucial skill for any musician.Bilingual Text:The inclusion of bothHungarian and Germantext highlights the international recognition and use of Kodly’s pedagogical works even shortly after their first publication in 1954.rdekessgek(Hungarian)A Pentaton Elny:A darabok fekete billentykre val korltozsval Kodly automatikusan a tiszta F# pentaton sklba (F# G# A
