Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. 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. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

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.

7 European Salon Pieces. Par POPP WILHELM. In the 19th Century nationalist themes came into fashion. Composers drew on songs and dances from their native lands, working them into paraphrased adaptations, pot pourri arrangements and sets of variations or incorporating folk elements from various cultures in their compositions. Flautist Wilhelm Popp (1828-1902), who wrote music for his instrument at every level of difficulty, also took up this popular trend. In this collection seven of his ‘easily playable’ compositions have been chosen with musical links to different European countries. Here again Popp shows his ability to distil the essence from musical styles and fashions of his time, setting lyrical and virtuoso passages so well for the instrument that their effectiveness far outweighs any difficulties. The popularity of his pieces for tuition purposes, school concerts or youth music competitions remains undiminished to this day. This edition is essentially based on the first printed versions of these pieces – with just a small number of printing errors and inconsistencies corrected without comment./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
