GERMAN DANCES AND ECOSSAISES ed. by Weekley & Arganbright |
|||
Schubert
was especially sensitive to the duet medium and wrote short delicate and
Iyrical compositions as well as grand and intense major works. The brevity
of these dances indicates that Schubert intended them for the ballroom rather
than for concert performance. Weekley & Arganbright have added fingerings,
a few interpretive marks (in parentheses), and changed the format to score
form. Otherwise they are as printed in the Witzendorf edition circa 1860. |

| SECONDO
LIGHT by Weekley & Arganbright |
|||
These
five catchy melodies are superbly arranged for one or two pianos, four hands.
They are engraved in score form with Primo above Secondo for ease in rehearsing.
The Secondo parts are set in 5-finger positions perfect for first
year students. The slightly more difficult Primo part uses chords in root
position and inversions. Stretches are limited to the interval of a sixth.
An ideal choice for recitals! |
