Description:
The ANACROUSE collection offers novice and experienced pianists alike a wide choice of classical works, from the Renaissance to the modern era.
We have set ourselves the goal of offering both "must-haves" from the classical repertoire and pieces by sometimes forgotten composers, all of undeniable pedagogical value. Each piece, sold individually, has been the subject of careful editorial work, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, in order to guarantee musicians the conditions essential to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.
The scores are offered in traditional book form (paper sheets), and also available by download.
In January 1874, Grieg collaborated with playwright Henrik Ibsen, offering him the composition of the incidental music for his play Peer Gynt. Needing money, he accepted the job, which he struggled to carry out, but which would, unbeknownst to him, ensure much of his international fame. The play was given its world premiere in Oslo on February 24, 1876. Of the 23 numbers he composed, he chose four in 1888 for a first orchestral suite, and five in 1891 for a second, but the last piece was soon abandoned.
The Grotto of the King of the Mountain is a piece with which we are all familiar. Its evocative power has not escaped the ad man, who uses it as a soundtrack to accompany a breathless situation.
The first suite ends with this famous passage and opens the door to the second suite.
This excerpt is a faithful transcription for 4-hand piano, with the right-hand part easier, to enable beginners to play this piece, accompanied by a more advanced pianist.
This is a fairly marked march in A minor with four beats. The theme gradually gains momentum, before sweeping through the entire symphonic piano, culminating in a frenzy that reaches its climax in the final bars.
Polyphony, dreaminess and frenzy, this utterly striking excerpt combines grace, exhilaration and feeling.
