Small Is Beautiful: Miniature Piano Pieces

Having been praised by the press as « precise and keenly projective » and demonstrating « the highest level of proficiency, » Japanese-Canadian pianist Yoko Hirota is considered one of the leading interpreters of contemporary piano repertory of her generation. Her first CD, « The Piano Music of Arnold Schoenberg with 17 Fragments, » was released to critical acclaim and was recently listed as one of Essential Tracks by The Globe and Mail. Ms. Hirota is a strong advocate of the music of our time and in particular music by Canadian composers.
