Frohliche Tänze nach alten Weisen/Traditional Festive Dances

More about the book

Traditional Festive Dances for piano (4 hands) are a continuation of the book "Let’s Play Duets." Progress continues without exceeding the range of the lower grades. The lively melodies of seventeenth-century European dance forms provided the author with a wealth of material to create these duets. The parts are written to avoid the dissatisfaction that students generally feel when practicing either the primo or secondo part in isolation. Both parts are of the same difficulty, allowing students to play either the upper or lower part. Content includes Old French Dance, P. Gillarde, A. Passepieds, H. Rigaudon, A. C. Passepied en rondeau, Fitzwilliam Virginal Dance, Fitzwilliam Virginal Alman, Fitzwilliam Virginal Corranto, R. C. im Bassa imperiale e Saltarello, J.-B. Pavanne pour Madame la Dauphine, J.-B. Bourrée, M. P. de Monté Musette, J. Allegro, T. Die Post, S. Courante, and E. Two Dances.
