The Dance Of The Jesters was composed as incidental music for the ballet The Snow Maidens. The ballet is not based on the Hans Christian Andersen story but on a contemporary Russian fantasy-play Snegourochka. The Snow Maiden daughter of Father Frost falls in love with a human Misgir and plans to marry him. However Misgir is already betrothed to Coupava. The Snow Maiden follows him southward to interrupt his wedding but she falls victim to the warmth of the sun and melts. The Dance is an incredibly lively affair that has stood out from the songs dances and choruses of the ballet. It captures the color and zest of Russian folk dance.

Music for the Beginning Pianist-Novice pianists will take pride and pleasure in performing selections from The Nutcracker Suite with this simplified beginner's score. Tchaikovsky's ballet was an instant success upon its 1892 debut and it remains a perennial holiday favorite with music lovers. The ballet score proved so popular that the composer was compelled to arrange eight selections into a suite for orchestras to play without the accompaniment of dancers. This collection features Tchaikovsky's entire original suite which includes Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Waltz of the Snowflakes as well as two extendedarrangements  March and Russian Dance. As a special bonus five selections from the ballet that the composer omitted from the suite appear here. Most of these pieces are accompanied by brief notes from the editor with performance suggestions.

Leichte Bis Mittelschwere Arrangements Bekannter Russischer Opern und Ballette. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.BROOKER DAVID). 'Big works made small”. Those four words completely capture the essence of this amazing album of arrangements for two violins by David Brooker. It harks back to the days before sound recording when many people could only experience the major composers' orchestral music in reductions for chamber ensembles - indeed, many composers made such arrangements themselves. These arrangements will both entertain and challenge intermediate to advanced players but the technical problems are designed to be approachable and enjoyable rather than daunting. The contents cover a wide range of Russian romantic music from the 19th and 20th centuries, taking in the ultimate lyricism of Borodin's Nocturne, through the fireworks of Khachaturian's Sabre Dance to the musical athletics of Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights, better known these days as the theme tune to 'The Apprentice”. The arrangements would be ideal pieces to open or close a violin lesson - even more so as an unexpected encore in an informal concert. Eleven full-length arrangements of well-known pieces make this album fantastic value for money./ Recueil / 2 Violons

Scott wrote around four hundred works which include two mature symphonies three operas three Piano concertos concertos for Violin Cello Oboe and Harpsichord several overtures four oratorios as well as a mass of chamber music.Between 1903 and 1920 Scott wrote copiously for the Piano. Most of these pieces were harmonically adventurous for their time and easy to play; they circulated widely in manycountries of the world.A Little Russian Suite for Piano was composed during this period. This complete edition includes all three movements (Russian Air  Siberian Waltz Dance) which can either be played separately or together as a suite.Performance time of the whole suite is approximately 6 minutes.

Urtext (1932-1939). Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a "classical" piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from "Imitation and Inversion," "Ostinato," and "Free Variations," concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as "Notturno," "Boating," "From the Diary of a Fly," or the famous "Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm." Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók Complete Edition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.
