Overview
French Piano Music for the Young Musician (Francia zongoramuzsika) is a sophisticated anthology that offers a comprehensive taste of several centuries of French musical heritage. Published in 1973 by Editio Musica Budapest and edited by the legendary pianist Péter Solymos, this volume is part of a celebrated series designed to introduce intermediate students to specific national styles. From the courtly dances of the Renaissance and the ornate harpsichord works of Couperin and Rameau to the lyrical charm of César Franck, this collection is more than just a music book—it is a cultural journey. Each volume in the series is famous for its high-quality cover art featuring period paintings that help the young musician visualize the era they are performing.
Áttekintés (Hungarian)
A Francia zongoramuzsika egy kifinomult antológia, amely több évszázadnyi francia zenei örökséget vonultat fel. Az Editio Musica Budapest 1973-as kiadványa, amelyet a neves zongoraművész, Solymos Péter gondozott, egy olyan népszerű sorozat része, amelynek célja, hogy a növendékek megismerjék az egyes nemzetek sajátos zenei stílusát. A reneszánsz udvari táncoktól és Couperin vagy Rameau díszes csembalóműveitől kezdve César Franck lírai darabjaiig ez a válogatás nem csupán egy kottáskönyv, hanem kulturális utazás is. A sorozat védjegye a borítón található színes festményreprodukció, amely segít a fiatal zenésznek megidézni az adott kor hangulatát.
