Puccini at the piano,
By William J. Finn "wjf88" (Sarasota Florida) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Puccini for Piano Solo: 38 Inspired Selections from 9 Operas (Paperback)
Very good arrangements for piano. Mostly between moderate and advanced. Most professional pianists wouldhave little trouble with these arrangements. For amateurs (like myself) many if not most pieces, can be nearly 'sight read'. I really enjoy the book a lot. And the arrangements seem to stay very close to the original arias, in almost all cases. The book includes arias from nearly all of Puccini's operas, even "Girl Of The Golden West". Plus a few extras, such as his one page piano piece called "Pezzo per pianoforte". The one glaring omission is "Tu, tu piccolo Iddio" from MADAMA BUTTERFLY. My feeling is that not all of the aria arrangements are in the oritinal keys. Most seem to have been transposed to a key that is a bit easier for the pianist to navigate. Small matter though. The spiral-bound book is also a very nice plus, as most pianists must be aware. Very recommended for Puccini fans who are also pianists. |
