Interesting Facts

Henry Purcell: Zongoraalbum 1 (Hungarian)
A Henry Purcell: Zongoraalbum 1 az angol barokk legnagyobb mesterének billentyűs műveiből nyújt átfogó válogatást. Az 1975-ben megjelent kötetet Máriássy István gondozta, aki a korszak stílusjegyeit tiszteletben tartva válogatta össze Purcell legszebb szvitjeit, groundjait és tánctételeit. A kiadvány az Editio Musica Budapest népszerű "Album sorozatának" része, amely évtizedek óta a magyar zongoraoktatás alapköve. A darabok kiválóan alkalmasak a barokk díszítéstechnika és a polifón gondolkodás fejlesztésére.
Érdekességek
- Stílus és elegancia: Purcell zenéje az udvari elegancia és a népi dallamvilág különleges ötvözete.
- Pedagógiai jelentőség: A kötetben található Trumpet Tune és a különböző szvitek alapművek a zeneiskolai felsőbb osztályok és a konzervatóriumi növendékek számára.
- Külalak: A "Bach-formátum" (23 x 30,2 cm) nagy kottaszöveget és könnyű olvashatóságot biztosít, ami elengedhetetlen a barokk díszítések pontos kidolgozásához.
