Par . A great diversity of national and regional cultures evolved on the European continent during the course of two-and-a-half thousand years. In the field of music, this diversity can be traced back above all to folksongs. Luis Zett?s 12 imaginativearrangements for four hands let the European motto 'united in diversity' literally pulse with life. Somewhat more advanced piano pupils of all age groups have the colorful choice between a Scottish 'reel' or an East-European lullaby, melancholy tunesfrom the North or dynamic dances of the south. For additional variety and enjoyment, players can count on extensive free interludes as well as melodies that wander through the upper part and bass. / Date parution : 2022-02-25/ Recueil / Piano 4 Mains

It was the ?Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet? op. 46 which brought Antonín Dvorák unexpected international fame. An unerring business instinct led Fritz Simrock, at the beginning of 1878, to ask the Czech composer for some works for piano duet into which Dvorák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances?, Dvorák refrained from a literal portrayal of individual kinds of dance. As a result, he created unique masterpieces of European music for domestic use and concert performance.'
