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 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.
In 1720, Handel had a collection of pieces published in London entitled Suites de pièces pour le clavecin, 1st volume, a collection of eight Suites whose composition dates back for the most part to his youth.
The Seventh Suite in G minor HWV 432 contains all the genres in vogue at the time, a synthesis in miniature of "united tastes" from France, Germany and Italy. The Passacaglia in G minor, one of Handel's most famous keyboard pieces, closes the Suite with a series of short variations: melodic, rhythmic, inverted, with the last variation summing up the series of variations, through the arpeggiated playing of rapid sixteenth notes by both hands.
