Five Russian Folk Songs for Piano 4-Hands by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
As a young composer, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was invited by a publisher to arrange 50 Russian folk songs for piano 4-hands. Over a period of two years, Tchaikovsky did just that, providing pianists with a beautiful set of minature duets. The five pieces in this collection can be played by early-to-late intermediate level pianists and provide beautiful opportunities for projecting a range of emotions.
This interactive edition, produced by Paul Sheftel and George Litterst, comes with historical commentary and MIDI recordings of separate hands for both primo and secondo.
