Description
Instrumentation: Klavier
Edition: Partitur
Difficulty: medium
The singer Pauline Viardot was an excellent singer and pianist. These two piano pieces are swinging compositions for the salon music. Medium difficulty.
“Music as communication – this is a heading that could be given to the compositions of Pauline Viardot. She quotes, parodies, imitates; she did not aim at creating a uniform style. Thus the piano pieces republished here – the only compositions for solo piano that have come down to us – cannot be regarded as works in the full sense of the word, but as the stylistic exercises of a virtuoso, who was also an outstanding pianist.” Beatrix Borchard
