Summary of This Book
This collection highlights the most famous melodies and the most "magical" moments from essential ballets and stage works. It features a very varied selection, ideal for exploring different atmospheres: character dances, elegant waltzes, lyrical themes, rhythmic passages, and spectacular scenes. The pieces are presented as solo piano scores, with arrangements designed to be enjoyable to play and faithful to the original atmosphere.
The included CD is a real asset: it allows you to hear reference performances before starting, to check tempo, style, dynamics, and articulation, and to refine your musical sense (phrasing, breathing, balance of layers). Whether you want to work on a piece in depth or simply enjoy playing famous themes, the set is a comprehensive resource, both practical and inspiring.
The selection spans many iconic composers, from Tchaikovsky to Prokofiev, including Chopin, Saint-Saëns, Delibes, Khachaturian, Borodin, Berlioz, and many others. An excellent choice to enrich your repertoire of classical ballet piano pieces, develop expressive range, and vary playing colors between grace, power, and subtlety.
