Great Brahms piano book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The entire collection of Brahms short piano pieces is contained in this volume. The wonderful Op. 39 waltzes which are reduced from 4 hands to 2 hands in this edition. The Scherzo in E flat Minor, the eight pieces Klavierstucke, Op. 76, the two Rhapsodies Op. 79, and the seven Fantasies Op. 116. This book also includes the most beautiful music he ever wrote which were his complete set of Intermezzos from Op.117, Op.118 and Op.119 along with the hard to find Romanze and his only Ballade Brahms ever composed. The music is taken from Brahms own manuscript and is unabridged. One thing I thought was neat about this book is there are two sets of the Op. 39 Waltzes. There is the original version and there is also a simplifed version for those that are inbetween intermediate and advanced levels. That way you can start out with the simplified version and gradually increase to the original with practice. That is how we all progress to being better players. So, don't be intimidated by this book if you don't quite consider yourself at the advanced level yet. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this book.
Good Edition

Good edition of some pretty difficult piano compositions. But if you feel adventurous, you can't go wrong for the price. Dover Editions are always well printed and an excellent value. This edition is no exception.
