Description

Inspired by the richness of Eastern folk music, Mily Balakirev composed the oriental fantasy Islamey in 1869. Based on themes from Armenia and the Caucasus region, this scintillating work is known worldwide as a supreme example of virtuoso piano writing at its best. Other favorite Russian piano works featured in this exceptional compilation include music by Arensky, Borodin, Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov, and other masters. Among them are such all- time favorites as Rubinstein's lovely "Melody in F," Prokofiev's blazing Toccata, Scriabin's famous Nocturne for Left Hand Alone, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Sharp Minor, Stravinsky's "Piano-Rag-music," and many more. Aimed at intermediate- to advanced-level pianists, this handsome volume features an introduction by internationally acclaimed pianist Joseph Banowetz, a specialist in Russian piano music. Read more

Islamey Who’s music
Format: Paperback
It is I believe mistakenly written that Islamey is based on Caucasian Armenian theme in the first part, however, in reality theme based on Circassian music which is very popular as a music piece dance, and story(legend) in Adige (Circassian) republic for thousand of years. I am sure Armenians also have wonderful music themselves but not this one. ... show more

A fine collection of musical treasures
Format: Paperback
The book contains many favorites of all time such as Prokofiev's Toccata Op.11. Notes are blurry in some passages, but are usually adequate. It was a great tool to discover composers and sheet music, but more so to rediscover and enhance one's musical interest. I recommend this book to absolutely anyone willing to enjoy life. ... show more
