This thoroughly entertaining set of arrangements from Mike Cornick is a must have for piano duettists. Perfect as encore items as the title suggests these pieces could of course be suitably placed anywhere in the concert programme. John Philip Sousa's The Liberty Bell will be happily recognised as the Monty Python theme music by many members of the audience and Abe Holzman's Blaze Away will set everyone's feet tapping. The rousing traditional Hebrew song Hava Nagila and the popular Billy Boy will have the audience's full attention as will the Radetzky March which is now a traditional encore for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's Day concerts. The CDincludes the complete performance of each duet and if a duet partner is unavailable - or for simply rehearsing separately recorded primo and secondo tracks are provided. Suitable for intermediate-level players and beyond.

Included are Leroy Anderson’s bouncy and happy Sleigh Ride beautifully contrasting Silent Night I Saw Three Ships Jingle Bells and a medley of four other favourites to surprise and delight all of course receiving Mike Cornick’s inimitable touch. For intermediate level players and beyond.The CD includes the complete performance of each duet as well as play-along rehearsal tracks for primo and secondo players.

Forti di una lunga esperienza, gli Autori hanno adottato ogni possibile accorgimento (numerazione delle battute, note/guida, numeri incorniciati all'inizio delle nuove frasi) per ovviare alle possibili difficoltà di chi si accosti ad una, seppur embrionale, esperienza cameristica. I 13 pezzi infantili abbracciano stili diversi che vanno dal romanticismo fino ai nostri giorni; sarà facile riconoscere i modelli ispiratori ai quali gli Autori hanno guardato con profondo rispetto: Mendelssohn, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Rota, Gershwin ecc. Naturale appare l'incontro con la fiaba, alla quale la fantasia dei piccoli interpreti si apre con una sensibilità perfino resistente alla cultura del computer: la musica, con la sua straordinaria capacità evocatrice, si offre come un'interpretazione di particolari momenti dell'opera letteraria, o come un approfondimento della stessa: non quindi semplicemente ad essa s'ispira. Particolare cura è stata posta ai testi delle fiabe, abbondantemente riportati, e agli spiritosi disegni che le illustrano. Interni a colori, Illustrazioni dell'Autrice.
