Description:
Carl Filtsch (1830-1845), Chopin’s most gifted pupil, astonished his teacher with extraordinary talent. Chopin exclaimed: "My God! Such a child! No one has ever understood me like this!" Tragically, Filtsch died at fourteen, leaving only fragments of his work. These six short Préludes, carefully edited here for the first time from his sketches, reveal surprising maturity: lyrical melodies, delicate harmonies, and pure romantic expression. Easy to intermediate in difficulty, each piece is just about 16 bars long and clearly laid out on a single page in modern, readable notation. Perfect for students, lessons, or recitals - a rare chance to play touching music by a forgotten young genius. A small treasure of the Romantic era, ideal for discovery and quiet enjoyment.
