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 indispensable to the pleasures derived from frequent trade in these works.

The scores are offered in the form of traditional works (paper sheets), and also available by download.



Written in three weeks during the autumn of 1874, the work was premiered in Zofin on April 4 of the following year. Few rivers are surrounded by as many myths and legends as the Vltava (Moldau, in German), which flows through Prague. So it was only natural that Smetana, composer and torchbearer of modern Czech music, should dedicate an entire symphonic poem to it. The second piece in the symphonic cycle "My Homeland", this remarkable composition is made up of several tableaux that follow the course of the famous river. This fantastic journey takes us from the very source of the Moldau to the impressive waterfalls of the Gorges Saint-Jean.
