The complete listings of Vincent Persichetti's works include several compositions that were withdrawn and have remained "known secrets." Not mentioned anywhere however, is this brief gem, a family heirloom revealed by the composer's daughter in 2015. Lauren Persichetti has written: "My father used to play Frog Dance for me to dance to when I was a little girl. He also played it to warm up before practicing for four-hand concerts with my mother. As I got older, I asked him to write it down, but he said it was just something he had written when he was a little boy. Finally, after much persuasion, he gave a copy to me and my husband, Howard Harris, for Christmas in 1977. I can still hear him play and I still dance to it."

In Persichetti's 100th anniversary year, we are pleased to announce a newly re-engraved edition of his classic Little Piano Book, now in standard format. Since its premiere in 1954 by 10-year-old Lauren Persichetti, the Little Piano Book has become the introduction to contemporary music for generations of piano students. The composer indicates, "The Little Piano Book is a collection of easy keyboard pieces that may be performed separately or in groups of any selection. They can serve as preparation for the larger contemporary works and may be useful both as teaching and concert material."
