”Four Pastiches for Piano” contains preludes in style of romanticism, impressionism and expressionism. They can work as tasters before studying the first pieces in larger scale by well-known composers. According to the former Finnish examination levels, the Pastiches are classified from 3/3 to IIA (C) level.
