Programme Note
The Young Pioneers
Like Sunday Afternoon Music, which Copland also composed during the summer of 1935, The Young Pioneers is a simple piece for piano which introduces young ears to the contemporary idiom. Copland said "The title The Young Pioneers has a double meaning, for I had in mind instilling in young piano students the courage to attempt music that is somewhat modern."
-Vivian Perlis, 1998
