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.
Felix Mendelssohn's famous romances without words (Lieder ohne worte) are refined, melancholy and brief pieces for piano. His forty-eight romances, divided into eight notebooks, were created during the course of his life, in rare moments of solitude.
Six of the eight notebooks were published by the composer himself in eight volumes from 1832, with the London publisher Novello. The last two were published after his death. Some of these have names such as Morceau pour enfants, Marche funèbre, Chant du gondolier vénitien, Chant du printemps, Chant du dévidoir, Chant populaire, Chant du chasseur.
Written between 1825 and 1842, Opus 19 is the best-known booklet of Romances sans paroles, featuring six romantic, highly poetic little pieces. The first Romance sans parole, entitled doux souvenir, is a piece of great pianistic simplicity. This andante con moto, with its use of the key of E major in a binary tempo of 4/4, sets out the principles of a highly romantic formal structure. The lilting, cantilena-like melody undulates over an arpeggio accompaniment of sixteenth notes in the piano's middle range.
The graceful air of this little Mendelssohn romance thrives serenely through these waves of arpeggios, sure to delight the performer's soul.
