The article examines children's piano works of the Moldovan composers from the point of view of their use in piano educational practice as children's cycles (albums and suites consisting of piano miniatures). For many Moldovan composers (L. Gurov, S. Lobel, V. Rotaru, Z. Tkach. A. Mulyar, B. Dubossarsky, O. Negrutsa, G. Ciobanu, etc.) the work on piano miniatures was a kind of "creative laboratory" that preceded the appearance of larger works – suites, sonatas, concerts, symphonies, etc. Priorities in the children's piano works of Moldovan authors are contrasting in style: slow lyrical plays (Lullaby, Doina, Prelude, Song, Poem, etc.) and mobile miniatures (Jock, Batuta, Ostinato, Comic, Scherzo, etc.) dance or scherzno -humour. These plays can greatly enrich the repertoire of children's music schools and lyceums, as they are distinguished by the Moldovan colour, national and genre proper-ties, peculiarity of the figurative-emotional system and the certainty of technical tasks.
