2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1369322 Composed by Johann Simon Mayr. Arranged by Fabrizio Capitanio. 19th Century,Classical,Instructional,Opera,Romantic Period. Score. 92 pages. Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele #953678. Published by Artistic Score Engraving di Galvagno Michele (A0.1369322). Johann Simon Mayr (1763—1845) is a composer rarely performed today. His music, reflecting the transition from the Classical to the Romantic musical era, inspired Rossini and was crucial in the development of Donizetti’s style. He became a central figure in the musical life of the Italian city of Bergamo where, in 1805, he founded the Conservatory, at the time known as “Lezioni Caritatevoli di Musica�. One of the first pupils of the “Lezioni� was Gaetano Donizetti, whose production and fame soon arose above everyone else’s. The first concerto, in C major, is one of the three surviving keyboard concertos from Mayr’s manuscripts kept in the Biblioteca Musicale Gaetano Donizetti and in the Museo Donizettiano. It is pedagogical in nature, its light orchestration (only 2 oboes and 2 horns joining the strings) allowing it to be performed with minimal forces. In three movements, spanning about 18 minutes in total, it looks back at a late Classical style that was quickly fading out of fashion at the time of its creation (1825-6).This edition comes with the unique contribution of M° Fabrizio Capitanio, in the form of a thorough musicological research delving deep into the historical context, and all of the critical aspects that made this work possible. M° Capitanio also realised the reduction for two pianos for this title (ASE 0051).The full score is available under Catalogue N° ASE 0047, while orchestral parts can be found as a bundle under Catalogue N° ASE 0053.This edition is also the first one in the new series dedicated to the City of Bergamo: La Bergamasque!

2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.800633 Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Richard Simm. Classical,Romantic Period. Score. 39 pages. Richard Simm #5873553. Published by Richard Simm (A0.800633). Considered by many to be Dvořák's finest orchestral composition, this delightful, brilliant and beautiful work has everything you could want from the composer at his best. He was a master orchestrator, with a uniquely imaginative palette of sounds at his disposal, and his Scherzo Capriccioso shows us everything he could do with a symphony orchestra. This transcription for two pianos by Richard Simm faithfully captures the composer's sense of musical colour, and will richly reward advanced pianists who want to show a new facet of this very popular composer.

2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1464123 By Richard Simm. By Bedrich Smetana. Arranged by Richard Simm. 19th Century,Classical,Folk,Multicultural,Romantic Period,World. Score. 9 pages. Richard Simm #1042836. Published by Richard Simm (A0.1464123). Smetana struggled hard for recognition in his life as a composer, but in his later years his major contribution to a Czech national style in music was acknowledged. Vltava is a marvellous orchestral depiction of the river that flows through Prague, reflecting the aspect of realism which was part of his romantic inspiration.This 2-piano arrangement by Richard Simm is pianistically advanced in order to retain as much as possible of the original's rich orchestral texture, but the focus is on the beautiful main theme of the work, concluding with Smetana's rather Wagnerian coda. Polished pianists will enjoy taking part in the powerful, surging flow of this descriptive work.

2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1288884 By Richard Simm. By George Butterworth. Arranged by Richard Simm. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Folk,Multicultural,World. Score. 11 pages. Richard Simm #879723. Published by Richard Simm (A0.1288884). George Butterworth was a uniquely gifted composer and arranger of English folk songs, who was tragically killed in action during WW1 at the age of only 31.His small output included the song cycle, A Shropshire Lad, from which he expanded the first song, Loveliest of Trees into a wonderful orchestral rhapsody.The music is full of passion, but also the most delicate sensitivity, capturing the romantic essence of the English countryside from bygone days.This arrangement by Richard Simm for two pianos now gives pianists access to this beautiful music.

2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1433983 Composed by Bedrich Smetana. Arranged by Patrick Speckamp. 19th Century,Classical. Score. 21 pages. Patrick Speckamp #1014212. Published by Patrick Speckamp (A0.1433983). This is a two-piano version of B. Smetana's ever popular and energetic Dance of the Comedians. Smetana employed the lively Czech folk dance Sko?ná in the third act of his opera The Bartered Bride, where a circus troupe performs an array of tricks and acrobatics. The transcription is intended to be played by two pianists at two pianos. The original orchestral score has been rendered as accurately as possible, while also keeping issues of piano-specific playability in mind. Where appropriate, slight changes to the original text (such as changes in register, piano-specific figurations) have been made to either enhance the overall sound impression and/or to improve playability on the piano. The difficulty level of the arrangement is high-intermediate to advanced. That said, Dance of the Comedians is a rewarding and fun piece - as well as a genuine crowd-pleaser - that may be performed by skilled amateurs and professional pianists alike.

Piano and orchestra - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q3160 Composed by Rodion Shchedrin. This edition: piano reduction for 2 pianos. Downloadable, Piano reduction. Duration 32 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q3160. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q3160). Shchedrin, son of a composer and music teacher, underwent a thorough musical training in Moscow. His versatility and dazzling competence across a wide variety of musical genres are surely a result of his studies. The composer is also an exceptional pianist and frequently performs his own piano works (concertos, sonatas, 24 preludes and fugues, etc.) on the concert platform. While employing a variety of modern compositional techniques he has, nevertheless, succeeded in uniting traditional and contemporary forms. His work is suffused with his love for Russian folkmusic, poetry and literature, yet it is not just relevant in his homeland but speaks to a wider audience. His more recent works too, are characterized by this fusion of a deep Slavic sensitivity with outstanding virtuosity.3 (3. auch Picc.) · 3 (3. auch Engl. Hr.) · 2 · 2 – 4 · 3 · 3 · 1 – 4 P. S.

2 Pianos,4 Hands,Piano Duet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.800641 Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Richard Simm. Romantic Period. Score. 6 pages. Richard Simm #6857813. Published by Richard Simm (A0.800641). This arrangement is an exciting challenge for pianists who regret that Dvorak did not write more music for their instrument. As usual, Richard Simm has not simplified the original orchestration for pianists who want to play this fascinating folk-style music. Rather the aim has been to exploit what two pianos can do to approach the composer's unique talent for attractive and evocative orchestration.
