Reproduced from authoritative sources, this modestly priced compilation
presents favorite piano works of the Romantic era. Unlike many other
anthologies of music from the period, which vary widely in the quality
of their content, this collection features works of consistent
excellence. Intermediate and advanced pianists will find these carefully
chosen pieces a splendid representation of Romantic keyboard works.
Selections include Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23, as well as
Fantasie-Impromptu in C-sharp Minor, Op. 66; Two Pieces from
Tannhäuser and Lohengrin by Liszt; Rachmaninoff's Polichinelle from
Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3, No. 4 ("Punch"), and Sonata No. 1 in D
Minor, Op. 28; and Schumann's Variationen über den Namen Abegg, Op. 1,
and Studien nach Capricen von Paganini, Op. 3.
