These duet arrangements offer late elementary to early intermediate pianists the opportunity to play the classics at a much earlier level than if they were to wait to play the original version. By dividing the pieces between two performers, the individual parts are simpler, but the fullness and integrity of the originals remain. Highlights from Book 1 are Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag and Rubinstein's M…

It is thought by some to have been put together from incidental music he wrote for a children\'s play called The Forest of Wild Thyme. This band arrangement, based on Baynes\' orc…

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. Jan Van der Roost originally composed each and every note of ‘Slavia’ (as in case in ‘Puszta’, ‘Rikudim’ and ‘A Highland Rhapsody’). Consequently, ‘Slavia’ does not contain any arrangement of existing tunes, but is an original composition ‘in the style of…’. The introduction has an ABA structure and exposes a broad melodic line.
