Brahms brilliantly captured the spontaneity and passion of Hungarian gypsy music in his 21 Hungarian Dances. In this volume containing dances 11-21, editors Carol Ann Bell and Digby Bell have scrutinized all available autograph manuscripts of the duet, solo and orchestral versions and compared them with the earliest printed editions to produce the most scholarly, critical body of these works available today. Performance notes, helpful fingering suggestions, ornament realizations, and a wealth of historical background are provided.
Jacques Ibert's Histoires, a collection of 10 Impressionistic piano pieces, was written between 1912 and 1922. Most of the pieces were composed during Ibert's years in Rome at the French Academy, and many of the pieces were inspired by the sights seen during his travels to Spain, Italy, and Tunisia. These works are known for the vivid images they evoke and have found a permanent place in the teaching repertoire. The collection has been transcribed for various instruments, including piano duet (one piano, four hands). The complete set is approximately 23 minutes in duration. Titles: * I (La meneuse de tortues d'or) * II (Le petit âne blanc) * III (Le vieux mendicant) * IV (A Giddy Girl) * V (Dans la maison triste) * VI (Le palais abandonné) * VII (Bajo la mesa) * VII (La cage de cristal) * IX (La marchande d'eau fraiche) * X (Le cortège de Balkis) Dr. Wesley Roberts is Professor of Music at Campbellsville University, where he teaches courses in piano, organ, and musicology, and has been a member of the faculty since 1982.

The "very best," the "cream of the cream." These late-elementary to early-intermediate pieces were selected both for their beauty as well as for their appropriateness as classical repertoire study at an early stage. Composers include J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Clarke, Diabelli, Duncombe, Rameau and Schumann.
This collection contains 25 selections including dances, "Moment Musicaux," an impromptu, a set of variations and various other works. Schubert's compositional output, musical style and use of ornaments are discussed in the preface. Original editions and more recent editions were consulted and significant discrepancies appear as footnotes.
This nicely spaced, very readable edition of the beautiful Ravel piece is especially well-notated and comes with historical notes and suggestions for performance by the composer himself.
