Softcover: Snow White Inspirations (English) – 16 Mirror-Symmetrical Piano Pieces (PDF)

The Snow White Inspirations originated from a Kickstarter project. They combine the fairy tale “Snow White” with mirror-symmetrical piano compositions by Victor Alcántara (Preview in new tab). The 16 pieces are published together with the illustrated fairy tale Snow White in a joint book (48 pages; click here for the digital PDF edition). Both in the piano pieces and in the fairy tale, which was written down by the Brothers Grimm in their collections of folk tales, the phenomenon of mirroring is a central aspect of the dramaturgy. The compositions intended for the intermediate level are inserted between certain passages of the illustrated text so that they can serve as an interlude when someone is reciting the fairy tale. They can also be played as individual pieces or combined into a suite, the total duration of all 16 pieces being approx. 18 minutes.

The middle D (or A-sharp/G-sharp) on the keyboard serves as the axis of topographical symmetry: if, starting from this central point, one plays a chromatic scale with both hands synchronously in contrary motion, the fingers of both hands always strike the same type of key (black or white).
