J.S. Bach Concerto In C Minor & Schumann Andante & Varia

Piano Play Along Book/Cd Pack

Based On A Now Lost Concerto For Oboe And Violin, This Beautiful Baroque Work Relies Heavily On The Two Pianos For Effect, With A Lovely But Subdued String Accompaniment. Bach Dispenses With The Strings Altogether In The Lovely Central Movement, Then Ends With An Exhilarating Fugue. In Short, It Is A Gem! The Concerto's Companion Piece On This Album, Robert Schumann's Andante And Variations, Is A Striking And Unusual Piece Written In Chamber Music Style For A Small Ensemble. It Illustrates Schumann's Daring Experiments With The Piano's Possibilities. A Totally Unique And Beautiful Experience, Filled With Beautiful Instrumental Textures And Wonderful Writing For The Two Pianos.

Includes A High Quality Printed Music Score And A Compact Disc Containing A Complete Version Of Each Composition With Soloist (1st Piano), In Split Channel Stereo (Soloist On The Right Channel); Then A Second Version In Full Stereo Of The Orchestral Accompaniment, Minus The Soloist.

Performed By Neill Eisenstein, Piano

Accompaniment: Stuttgart Festival Orchestra

Conductor: Emil Kahn
