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.

This unique collection includes 40 tuneful, vivacious dance pieces from the Caribbean and South America. Chosen by editor Joseph Smith from a vast musical literature that remains largely unavailable in North America, all date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and appear in their original versions for solo piano. Featured composers include the legendary Ignacio Cervantes, who brought new sophistication and refinement to the Cuban danza; Carlos Gomes, whose piano dance "A cayumba" evokes the African influence on Brazilian music; Puerto Rican Juan Morel Campos, a prolific composer of danzas that range from the capricious to the smolderingly passionate; self-taught Ernesto Nazareth, characterized by Heitor Villa-Lobos as "the true incarnation of the Brazilian soul"; Mexican Manuel Ponce, who favored the piano but is best known for his guitar works, which were popularized by Segovia; Jose Quinton, who brought a new textural richness to the Puerto Rican danza; Manuel Saumell, father of the Cuban contradanza; and Alberto Williams, a student of Cesar Franck and founder of the Buenos Aires Conservatory, who brought a new seriousness and professionalism to the musical life of Argentina.

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.

This remarkable book brings together in one sturdy, yet inexpensive volume four of the most memorable and frequently played sets of works for the piano by Enrique Granados (1867-1916), one of Spain's greatest modern composers. They are reprinted here from early editions. The piano suite Goyescas, first performed in Barcelona in 1911, would bring Granados his greatest, most enduring success. In each of its six pieces, the composer employs wild, insistent melody and highly individual rhythm, harmony, and coloring to create dramatic impressions of paintings by Goya, to whose work Granados was deeply drawn. The exquisite Spanish Dances, a suite of early works, were much admired by the leading composers of the day, among them Massenet, Saint-Saens, and Grieg, not only for their distinctive musical qualities, but also for the new direction in Spanish music which they heralded. They remain today perhaps the most performed of Granados's work. Less well known in America are the beautiful Escenas poeticas and Escenas romanticas, two suites which reflect Granados's interest in the music of Grieg, Schumann, and Liszt, yet are filled with the great Spanish composer's original modulations and characteristic melodic writing. Together, the four suites offer performing artists, teachers, students, and music lovers a rich treasury of the finest and most enduring of Granados's compositions for the piano.
