Le Cahier du Lecteur, Vol. 1
Pascal Claude

These pieces were written for our sight-reading class at the Conservatoire Paris. Apart from the fact that they constitute good training for the Conservatoire examinations and, in general, for any sight-reading test, they also, we believe, correspond to the desire often expressed by teachers and pupils to have at their disposal pieces that are short though not elementary, modern without excess, difficult but not discouraging, manuscript and yet legible, and, above all, sufficiently varied in character for time given to sight-reading to be - in an ever more heavilyladen curriculum - the moment of relaxation and recreation.
