Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was a preeminent composer of music for the piano, in which he brilliantly utilized Norwegian folk music to create compositions remarkable for their originality, impressionistic harmonies, and melodic richness. This volume presents the best of Grieg's music for piano four hands in a convenient, inexpensive edition. Included are Grieg's own arrangements of his enormously popular Peer Gynt Suite Nos. 1 and 2 (with such favorites as Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King); the four Norwegian Dances, Op. 35, displaying strong folk-music influence; the elegant and urbane Waltz-Caprices, Op. 37; and the exuberant Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, Op. 65, No. 6, a four-hand arrangement of one of Grieg's best-loved Lyric Pieces. Pianists, students, and performers of four-hand music will want to have this inexpensive treasury of repertoire favorites, reproduced from the authoritative C. F. Peters edition.
A virtuoso of the piano and a pioneer of musical Romanticism, Carl Maria von Wolfe (1786-1926) wrote piano music of elegance and grandeur enhanced with bravura technical effects that profoundly influenced later 19th-century piano music. This volume presents virtually all Weber's works for piano solo: the four piano sonatas -- Opus 24 in C Major (1812), Opus 39 in A-flat Minor (1816), Opus 49 in D Minor (1816), and Opus 70 in E Minor (1822) -- considered the core of his output; his most popular piano composition, Invitation to the Dance, a waltz later orchestrated by Berlioz and used for the celebrated ballet Le Spectre de la Rose; eight lively and engaging sets of variations; and the dazzling Momento Capriccioso, Grande Polonaise, Rondo Brillante, and Polacca Brillante. Pianists will enjoy exploring this richly varied collection of piano masterworks, reprinted from the authoritative edition published by C. F. Peters of Leipzig.

Описание: Splendid compilation features a variety of the composer's best piano works, all reproduced from authoritative sources. Taking its title from the popular orchestral work "Danse Macabre" (presented here in the brilliant arrangement by Liszt), this collection also includes "Allegro appassionato," "Album" (consisting of six pieces), "Rhapsodie d'Auvergne," "Theme and Variations," plus six etudes, three waltzes, and six etudes for left hand alone. Introduction.
Isaac Alb niz (1860-1909) began his musical life as a piano prodigy in Barcelona at the age of four, and it is as a prolific composer of solo works for the pianoforte that we celebrate him most. This inexpensive Dover edition, designed to give you a lifetime of musical enjoyment, presents two of Alb niz's best-known works in authoritative editions: the piano suite Iberia, generally considered to be his masterpiece; and Espa a, which contains the "Tango," his most popular individual work. Iberia is a collection of twelve musical scenes of Spanish life, principally Andalusian, written in the years from 1906 to 1909. Its brilliant and complex character is suffused with the rhythms and harmonies of Spanish popular music, to which Alb niz turned for inspiration in the last years of his life. Espa a, an earlier work first published in 1890, is made up of six piano pieces that subtly reflect the influences of the piano literature of the nineteenth-century salon and -- like Iberia -- the harmony and style of impressionism, which Alb niz himself helped to create. Both works reveal characteristics of the highly individualized piano technique Alb niz developed from early childhood and perfected under the tutelage of Liszt.
