Quite a find!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Early Ballets (The Firebird, Petrushka, The Rite of Spring): Piano Solo (Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics) (Paperback)
I was very excited when I found this and even more excited when it arrived. And for good reason. I have loved Rite of Spring since I first heard it, and having listened to a recording repeatedly, I have been itching to try it out on the piano. This edition includes COMPLETE transcriptions of Firebird, Petrushka, and Rite of Spring, and the score is perfect for following along with the orchestral music since you can easily see the chords and melody. Believe me, it's much easier than trying to follow along with the mega-complex orchestral score of Rite of Spring. The difficulty level varies greatly within each of the ballets; there are extremely easy parts and extremely difficult parts. Good sight-reading ability is very helpful in all three, but particularly in Rite of Spring. And yes, the RoS transcription is the most difficult in the book; however, I get around a lot of the difficulties by cheating... you know, omitting a few notes here and there... ; )
