Matevž Goršič
music pedagogue / composer / pianist
I can't wait to sit down at the piano
Highlights from nature
"Highlights from Nature" is the subtitle of the piano music collection "I can't wait to sit down at the piano." It is a collection of 12 modern but light piano compositions suitable for lower music school students. The songs describe simple but sincere moments that we receive while perceiving the beauties that Mother Earth offers us in all its exceptional diversity.
Piano suite 1-13
The piano suite is a set of twelve piano compositions created in the summer of 2020. Their specialty is that each is written in its own time mode; from 1 to 13 time signatures (2 and 3 are covered in the same song). The songs are written in a modern way, but still in different musical styles. Some are a little heavier and adapted to be suitable for already experienced pianists.
Both collections were also successfully performed by the music school Fran Korun Koželjski Velenje. A video of the Piano Suite is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcSrUN9k5hU

SONG REVIEW
Matevž Goršič's compositions represent a refreshment and enrichment of the already existing piano literature and thus an important part in the discovery of new musical treasures.
The compositions are harmoniously diverse in character and character, many of which contain a fun note with jazz elements. The pianist will easily imagine the theme or outline the story with the music, as they are also very varied and interesting thematically.
The variety of tonalities is also more than welcome in the compositions, which gives the students breadth and at the same time consolidation of the music theory.
The suite is a collection of rhythmically written compositions in a variety tactful modes, which is considered to be their specialty.
In any case, the novelties are very welcome and represent an important part in the development of Slovenian pianism. Therefore, I believe that the collection of varied, playful and interesting compositions by Matevž Goršič will certainly find a place among young pianists and piano teachers.
