Dmitri Kabalevsky - 4 Easy Rondos Op. 60 (audio + sheet music)

The Four Rondos for piano Op. 60 (1958) opens with a march in rondo form (ABACA). The dotted rhythm of the opening theme in E-flat major drives the march forward, with the B and C sections offering contrast and being dynamically more restrained. The second piece, Dance, is a lively allegretto, with the opening theme used in a truncated sonata-rondo form (ABACABA). Song, the third rondo (in ABACA form) is a genteel piece in G minor. The last of the set, Toccata, is a riveting work in A minor, with a staccato opening theme which unifies and compels the work to its conclusion.
