Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1079291 Composed by Friedrich Kuhlau. Arranged by Kiyoshi Tamagawa. Classical. Score and individual part. 24 pages. Mastery for Strings Press #683490. Published by Mastery for Strings Press (A0.1079291). The Concertino Classico (Little Classical Concerto) is a somewhat more advanced sequel to the earlier Concertino Barocco, also available from Mastery for Strings Press. This time two movements from familiar sonatinas by the German/Danish composer Friedrich Kuhlau (1786-1832) have been transformed into miniature concerto movements by adding and interpolating short tutti passages at appropriate points in the form. Not a note has been added or subtracted from the original keyboard solos, so that a student who has mastered the originals may play this Concertino simply by memorizing the exact points in the original pieces where additional music for the orchestra (second piano) has been added and they must wait to continue. A student may use any standard edition of either Sonatina to learn and perform these movements. I hope that studying and performing the movements of the Concertino Classico will give an advancing student an enjoyable taste of performing as a concerto soloist using familiar repertoire, as well as providing a bridge to the standard keyboard concerto repertory.
