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.

Описание:
Of Franz Schubert's many compositions for solo piano, the dances -- waltzes, l ndler, cossaises, German dances, and minuets -- hold a special place in the affections of performers and audiences. This finely made edition brings together in one inexpensive volume a near-complete selection of over 350 of these engaging works, among them the popular dances in Homage to the fair ladies of Vienna. Many are less than half a page long, but all of them radiate the melody and charm that have endeared Schubert to the musical world. Most of the dances are of only moderate difficulty and are excellent teaching pieces, offering an ideal balance of challenge and reward to piano students at intermediate levels. This edition has been exactingly reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf & H rtel edition, and sturdily produced to offer music lovers a lifetime of study and enjoyment of these buoyant gems for piano.

Описание: From the hopeful anticipation of Mary, do you fancy me? to the bitterness of Hag, you've killed me, this extraordinary compilation of Irish melodies runs the emotional gamut, with melancholy airs and sprightly reels aplenty. Its source material, The Petrie Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland, ranks among the most important 19th-century collections of traditional Irish music, with its song texts in both Irish and English, plus George Petrie's detailed notes about the music's origins. Out of print for many years, the Petrie Collection became an extremely rare and much sought-after collector's item; this new edition will bring the cherished old songs into the repertoire of any student or performer of traditional Irish music.
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.
