Dances From Around The World

Dances From Around The World (Early Intermediate/Intermediate Level Composer Showcase) ** by Christos Tsitsaros. Educational Piano Library. Softcover. 24 pages. Published by Hal Leonard.

Each of the seven solos is a dance written in a specific 'nationalistic' Romantic style. Tsitsaros' lyrical talent and superb compositional skills are especially on display in 'Siciliana', a piece conceived in the cantabile Italian style, and 'Waltz', which features a haunting melody inspired by Tchaikovsky's lyrical style. Other titles include: Menuet Pastoral * Norwegian Dance * Little Mazurka * Gypsy Dance * and Cossack Dance.
