Description

This new volume from the ‘Schott Piano Classics’ series is dedicated to the topic of Impressionism. The piano teacher Monika Twelsiek from Cologne has compiled a comprehensive collection, presenting well-known and popular pieces in unusual settings and thus in a new light. In the process, she also digs up some unknown ‘hidden’ treasures. This selection of works comprises piano pieces by Liszt, Grieg, Albeniz, Debussy, Satie, Ravel, de Falla, Ibert and Mompou. In addition to a detailed preface explaining the origin, significance and features of Impressionism, this volume also contains a glossary which translates the French performance instructions – those of Eric Satie in particular.
