Schumann – Pictures from the East and Children's Ball Piano Four Hands Piano

This collection of lovely duets by the amazingly talented Robert Schumann begins with his six beautiful, exotic impromptus inspired by Rückert's Arabian stories of Abu Seid. The second set of duets, Schumann's “Children's Ball” were written circa 1853 and are an exciting, eclectic collection of rollicking pieces. Magnificent music for devotees of Schumann and German Romanticism. Difficulty Level: 4-5 Includes complete printed music score with both primo and secondo piano parts, and a compact disc featuring the duets in two formats: split-channel stereo with secondo part on the left channel, primo on the right, so you can play either part; and then again with just the secondo part in stereo so you can perform the primo part alongside. Performed by Sondra Bianca, piano Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen, piano
