Описание: The Mozart Anthology is a celebration of Mozarts music, offering five arrangements, fantasies, and showpieces as performed by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Each work translates the spirit of Mozarts original vision to the keyboard in a highly pianistic manner, making attractive additions to any piano duos recital repertoire.
The volume begins with the somber Chorale Prelude (Der, welcher wandert diese Strasse voll Beschwerden) from Die Zauberfl te, arranged for two pianos in homage to the chorale preludes of Bach-Busoni. By contrast, the Papageno fantasy is essentially a game of musical twister for piano duet featuring a mash-up of Papagenos felicitous arias (also from Die Zauberfl te).
Two works in this anthology originate from Mozarts opera Cos fan tutte. A pair of women bid a heartfelt farewell to their lovers departing by sea in the two-piano arrangement of Soave sia il vento, while the Grand Scherzo recasts the swirling, flirtatious events that close Act I as a four-movement sonata for piano, four-hands.
Rounding out the anthology is Andersons irreverently off-the-wall and dizzyingly virtuosic Ragtime alla turca for two pianos, based on Mozarts Rondo Alla turca, K. 331.
All five works have been newly formatted and edited. Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). Arranged and adapted for two pianos and piano, four hands by Greg Anderson (b. 1981). Advanced. 74 pages. Two copies required for performance of two piano works. Published by Awkward Fermata Press.
