On Christmas Eve 1950, the Italian Radio broadcast a radio play based on Adalbert Stifter's novella Rock Crystal. The music was written by Nino Rota, the translation was made by Gabriella Benci and Ippolito Pizzetti (the son of the composer Ildebrando Pizzetti, one of Rota's teachers). Here, too, the duo carefully edited the existing piano version. With these two pieces, the piano duet repertoire has taken on a whole new colour, and both performers and listeners can plunge into the atmosphere of Rota's film musics.

Unlike the highly virtuoso Etudes d'execution transcendante by Franz Liszt,
these etudes by Wilhelm Killmayer are written 'in a deliberately anti-virtuoso
manner, without chroma, i.e. with seven tones and largely in two parts'. (Wilhelm Killmayer)

Each of the twelve pieces focusses on a single compositional or technical aspect. Diatonic scales, parallel thirds and major chords are combined with some technically very tricky passages.

Killmayer makes great demands on the pianist's concentration, subtly coloured performance and differentiated articulation. The seventh etude is given the title 'Im Schumann-Ton' - unforced heartfelt music, always somehow "absent" and unpredictable in its modulations.

Gentle and flowing, you'll find a lyric right hand melody supported by lush chords. Truly inspired, these compositions can be used for any type of situation: for yourself, for healing music, for background music, for recitals. The music is not difficult, but the left hand does require some crossing over and under. True to the Italian flavor, some of the melodies incorporate triplet and mordent ornamentation. There are a few lever changes, some fingerings are included. All music is written in keys of either C or G. The final tune, All the Colors of Rome, a 5-minute plus performance piece, is gorgeous.

Titles: Bellagio Blue, Warm Sienna, Sicilian Scarlet, Tuscan Gold, Venetian Red, Naples Yellow, Vatican Violet, All the Colors of Rome.

This book contains two pieces of music from late French Romanticism, arranged for lever harp. In all the pieces the timbre resources of the instrument are exploited to the maximum, with the use of harmonics sounds, notes at the soundboard, glissandos etc. Nevertheless, the arrangements are of intermediate difficulty, accessible to non-professional instrumentalists and students.
The collection includes:
Théodore Dubois (1837 ?1924)
Chanson Lesbienne (Song of Lesbo)
Chanson d?Orient (Oriental Song).

J.R.R. Tolkien?s TheLord of the Rings is arguably the defining novel of the fantasy genre. Many of the characters in this epic novel arelarger-than-life: Gandalf, Saruman,Aragorn, and others. Interestinglyenough, the true heroes of Tolkien?s tale are very simple folk: hobbits. Bilbo Baggins and his nephew Frodo are among the most beloved charactersof the story, quite possibly because they are not so much different from you orme, yet they accomplish great and heroic deeds nonetheless.

This piece for unaccompanied flute focuses on five momentsfrom The Lord of the Rings in whichour down-to-earth heroes encounter situations both marvelous and terrible. As the title suggests, the musical narrativefollows the adventures of Frodo and his faithful companion, Samwise Gamgee (whoalso bore the One Ring for a time).
