Traditional World Music Influences in Contemporary Solo Piano Literature: A Selected Bibliographic Survey and Review

By Elizabeth C. Axford

Identifies pieces in contemporary solo piano literature that show world music influences not traditionally associated with the standard repertoire of Western European art music. The resulting annotated bibliography therefore includes pieces which use or attempt to emulate non-Western scales, modes, and folk tunes, and rhythmic, percussive or harmonic devices and timbres.
