Music for children and youth occupies a strategic position in the work of composers of the Saratov school. The theme of childhood received a different incarnation in the writings of her coryphae, such as M. N. Simansky, A. A. Brenning, B. A. Sosnovtsev, V. In. Kovalev, O. A. Moralev, E. In. Hochman . This collection includes children's piano music of Saratov composers of older, middle and younger generations. This is A. A. Brenning, W. C. Michele, A. In. Pavlyuchuk, V. In. Orlov, A. N. Koldaev and S. Yu. Pushed . Their works are vividly figurative with their program, written in modern musical language and far from exclusively instructive tasks of training young musicians. The artistic reflection of the world of children, their games, worries, thoughts and dreams, the world of fairy tales and nature, the memories of the composers themselves about their childhood this is the main content of the presented works that can significantly replenish the performing repertoire of young pianists. Most of the works included in the collection are published for the first time. The material of the collection is intended for students of advanced training courses - teachers of DMSH and DSH, art colleges and music schools, as well as students and students of educational organizations of culture and art .
