| Publisher Description: Beginners often find the compositions of Antonin Dvoř k frustratingly difficult to play, but this introductory volume provides an accessible and satisfying entr e to the Czech composer's oeuvre. Excerpts from his more abstract works are presented in manageable samples, with simplified keys and fingerings, and the pieces are presented in gradually increasing order of difficulty. There are an assortment of Dvoř k's well-known and much-loved compositions. Humoresques is a piano cycle inspired by his sojourn in the United States. Slavonic Dances was influenced by Brahms' Hungarian Dances. Flavorful pieces rooted in folk music, including excerpts from the Czech Suite and Prague Waltzes and a pair of lively mazurkas are featured. Other highlights include Songs My Mother Taught Me, The Noon Witch, and pieces from cello and violin concertos and symphonic movements. All thirty-six selections are available as downloadable MP3s. |
