Ma mre l'oye (Mother Goose Suite) is typical of Ravel's style with its modal melodies, use of dance forms and rhythmic precision. For this suite, Ravel selected favorite French fairy tales with references to fantasy, dreams and legends of childhood, and provided simple and delicate settings for piano duet (one piano, four hands). Although featuring childhood themes, Ma mre l'oye is at the late intermediate to early advanced level. This teaching/performance edition contains the suite in its entirety and is based on the first edition published by Durand in 1910. Editors Gayle Kowalchyk and E. L. Lancaster have included expert fingering suggestions and hand redistributions for technical ease, and have suggested ways to perform grace notes and glissandi in footnotes. The primo and secondo parts are on separate pages with measure numbers in both parts for easy reference. Late intermediate to early advanced.

Rachmaninov's Op.5 is a sumptuous Fantasy Suite in four movements written for two Pianos. A rich and expressive work full of the emotional power and virtuosic demands charachteristic of the composer. Suitable for accomplished performers.

Par ANDERSON LEROY. Leroy Anderson\'s \'Sleigh Ride\' is a holiday favorite, and this setting for advanced piano duet gives it a fresh twist. It begins with Anderson\'s jingling melody and some musical banter between the primo and secondo players, and then launches into a series of variations that take the listener on a journey through a variety of styles---from gently swirling, impressionistic arpeggios to a triumphant coda with brilliant, virtuosic passagework. Audiences will enjoy a number of other musical surprises along the way. / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Scores / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains
