Angol zongoramuzsika (Hungarian)

Az Angol zongoramuzsika a zeneiskolásoknak egy alaposan válogatott antológia, amely a brit billentyűs zene gazdag örökségét mutatja be. A kötetet a neves zenetörténész, Balla György állította össze, és 1976-ban jelent meg az Editio Musica Budapest gondozásában. A darabok a 14. századi Robertsbridge-kódextől a 18. századi Thomas Arne-ig ölelik fel az angol zenetörténetet. A válogatás célja, hogy a növendékek megismerkedjenek a virginál-zene aranykorával és a barokk stílus sajátosságaival.

Érdekességek

• A sorozatról: Balla György "a zeneiskolásoknak" sorozata mérföldkő volt a magyar zongorapedagógiában, segítve a régi zene stílusos előadásmódjának elsajátítását.
• Történelmi háttér: A gyűjtemény olyan ritka darabokat tartalmaz, mint a The Fall of the Leafe, amely a programzene egyik legkorábbi példája.
• Külalak: A K/4-es formátum és az 52 oldalas terjedelem ideális a mindennapi gyakorláshoz, a tiszta kottakép pedig segíti az átláthatóságot.
