Vladimir Rebikov’s The Bear, from his Les étrennes de Noël (“Christmas Gifts”) is a vivid and evocative piano solo composed in 1901. Using a deep, ponderous bass line with repeated broken octaves and a menacing whole-tone melody, Rebikov captures the lumbering, heavy movements of a bear. This study edition provides a clear, well-researched score, ideal for both students and teachers. Edited by Elizabeth Gutierrez, it includes practical fingerings and helpful interpretive suggestions. With its weighty, clumsy charm,The Bear is an excellent piece for exploring expression and imagination, making it a popular choice for late elementary pianists.
