Schmitz: Mini-Tango Heft 2 for Piano for six hands With These Minis, It Takes Three to Tango For a long time, there was a little gap in Manfred Schmitz's 'mini' piano series (Mini Jazz, Mini Rock, Mini Tango). Now it's been closed. The 'Mini Tango' now welcomes its six-hand book, which contains a mix of newly written pieces and highlights from the basic book for two and four hands, which were arranged and sometimes considerably expanded. As usual, Schmitz fashions each of the three parts as technically equal in value. Keeping six hands busy, the 'Mini Tango' now brings a new sound quality to group recitals organized by piano teachers.

Arrangeur: Mike Cornick. Par DIVERS AUTEURS (ARR.MIKE CORNICK). 'How to make friends at the keyboard” might be the series title for Mike Cornick's albums for 5 or 6 hands at one piano! In this latest volume, '4 Afro-Caribbean Pieces for 6 hands”, Mike offers three traditional pieces, 'Jamaica Farewell”, 'Mary Anne” and 'Yellow Bird”, plus a piece of his own which perfectly captures the stylistic mannerisms of this very musical region. Mike has suggested fingerings to help avoid the collisions inevitable with three players at one keyboard but he adds 'it's all part of the fun”! The second and terzo parts can be downloaded (free of charge) from the publisher's website to aid private practice. These multi-hand pieces make great concert pieces, especially as encores and you could also try: '5 Pieces for 5 Left Hands” (UE21711) or '4 Afro-Caribbean Songs for 5 Right Hands” (UE21649) as well as several other volumes for the more conventional six hands./ Recueil / Piano 6 Mains

Song of Remembrance is an intermediate-level trio, written in equal parts. Some of the characteristics that make this piece so appealing include its nostalgic and tender tone, the constant motion through sixteenth and eighth notes, and few accidentals. This trio is largely legato, which creates flowing and dramatic lines that everyone will enjoy. / Piano 6 Mains

Series: Belwin EditionCategory: Piano Trio (1 Piano, 6 Hands)Format: BookInstrument: PianoLevel: Late IntermediateWritten when the composer was just 17 to 18 years of age, these romantic-styled pieces for piano trio were dedicated to 3 friends, Natalya, Lyudmila, and Vera Skalon. They feature a short passage that would later be used in Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, beginning the 2nd movement. It is an especially nice, and playable, ensemble concert piece, technically within the reach of late intermediate artists.
