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 carefully edited, both in terms of the musical text and its engraving, 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 1853, Charles Gounod sketched out a melody based on the first prelude in C major from the first book of Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, based on a poem by Lamartine.
Shortly afterwards, he arranged this melody for choir on the Latin text of the Ave Maria, and gave it the title Méditation. It underwent a number of metamorphoses before becoming the celebrated Ave Maria we know today, and which has contributed to the composer's undying fame and success.
