Description

Of Franz Schubert's many compositions for solo piano, the dances — waltzes, ländler, écossaises, German dances, and minuets — hold a special place in the affections of performers and audiences. This finely made edition brings together in one inexpensive volume a near-complete selection of over 350 of these engaging works, among them the popular dances in "Homage to the fair ladies of Vienna." Many are less than half a page long, but all of them radiate the melody and charm that have endeared Schubert to the musical world.Most of the dances are of only moderate difficulty and are excellent teaching pieces, offering an ideal balance of challenge and reward to piano students at intermediate levels. This edition has been exactingly reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel edition, and sturdily produced to offer music lovers a lifetime of study and enjoyment of these buoyant gems for piano.

    • Little gems that demonstrate Schubert's unique musical styles
I heard the Noble Waltz D-969 on the radio and immediately fell in love. Schubert is a master of piano. His writing is unique. Underneath the surface, there's so much emotion and thoughts. It's so inspiring. Of course, the impromptus are very well known, and so are some of his sonatas (the last one D960 is sad but beautiful). He inspired many great composers to come. Many of whom had translated his works. Take a look at Soirées de Vienne Valse-Caprice No. 6 by Liszt, which used Schubert D-969's #9 and #10 as theme. Fantastic music! The dances are short miniature. They are quite easy to play technically. Advanced students can sight-read them. They are musical and expound many different sounds and ideas. Are they the best of Schubert's works? No, but that's not a fair question cause IMO he used them to explore musical ideas and experiments with sounds and harmonies. This is a very nice collections of the dances. As usual, Dover Publication gives you a lot of value of your money. I have the other two volumes (Short Works and Sonatas, which I treasure). It's inexpensive and the pages are clean and very readable. I highly recommend to get this if you are a fan of Schubert. ... show more

    • Beautiful, Melodic Pieces for Sight-Reading
Upon receiving this volume I felt as though I had stumbled upon a treasure trove. So many wonderful, short pieces. When you only have a few minutes and want to play something and can't decide what,, randomly open this book and select a song and sight-read it. Do it once and you'll come back to this book time and time again. A real bargain! ... show more

    • Schubert’s Dances for solo Piano.
The Dover edition is true to the old Hartel and Brietkopf version. In this sense , it is equivalent to Urtext edition. There are 360 dances to choose from for easy reading ! It is. Great collection for any pianist. They are catchy pieces.

    • Good Introduction To Schubert
Schubert wrote a great deal of dance music. Waltzes, Landler, German Folk Dances of all types. Many of them are suitable for piano students as recital pieces or for sight reading practice. But for anyone wanting to get more acquainted with Schubert's piano compositions, the Dances are an excellent introduction. Although some of these pieces are quite simple, Schubert's mastery of harmony and melody make them very enjoyable to play. There is a whole lot of music in this volume for a very reasonable price. Printing is clear, if a little small. But the book lies flat on the piano. There are no fingerings. Recommended! ... show more

    • Nearly all the Good Dances you can find elsewhere.
Print is small. But excellent oversized book. The problem is, many of the ones I like I already have. Overall Good book. Worth 3.8 stars.
