An arrangement of the beautiful title theme from the film "Out of Africa", which starred Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. This is the same theme that accompanies the famous flight sequence over the plains of Kenya. The piece started life as an arrangement for solo violin with piano accompaniment, but why should the violinist have all the fun?! Perfect music for a summer wedding or garden party, or indeed a cold, wet winter evening at home.

Have you always wanted to play some of your favourite Chopin pieces but find the virtuoso sections too daunting? This is a medley of themes from a number of Chopin's best known piano works. The extracts that form the bulk of the piece are faithful transcriptions of Chopin's originals, in the original key, and are joined together with short sections of original composition in a similar style. This is an ideal introduction to some of Chopin's most beautiful music for the intermediate level piano student or adult learner, or a relaxing bit of light relief for the more advanced pianist.

Works represented include:
Etude in E major op.10 no. 3
Ballade no. 1 in G minor op. 23
Prelude in D flat ("Raindrop"), op. 28 no. 15

A moderately challenging arrangement, interesting to play and yet still retaining the simple character of this well-loved song. Listen in full on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/user-316400434-306349688/edelweiss
