Songs Without Words Complete And Six Children S Pieces Op 72

Expertly arranged Piano music by Felix Mendelssohn from the Kalmus Editions series. These Romantic era songs were written for advanced players. This collection contains all fifty Songs Without Words and the Six Children's Pieces

These pieces are delightfully challenging for intermediate pianists and their musical messages are invariably interesting and clear. Editor Willard A. Palmer has maintained the music in its orginal form to achieve a performance as intended by the composer.

"The Hinson" has been indispensable for performers, teachers, and students. Now updated and expanded, it's better than ever, with 120 more composers, expertly guiding pianists to solo literature and answering the vital questions: What's available? How difficult is it? What are its special features? How does one reach the publisher? The "new Hinson" includes solo compositions of nearly 2,000 composers, with biographical sketches of major composers. Every entry offers description, publisher, number of pages, performance time, style and characteristics, and level of difficulty. Extensively revised, this new edition is destined to become a trusted guide for years to come.
