Product Description
La Femme is a collection of Elementary to Intermediate level arrangements from five composers: Florence Barbour, Melanié Bonis, Hedwige Chretien, Agathe Grøndahl, and Nannie Louise Wright.
A few pieces were originally written for young students and were merely edited-removing a couple notes for easier playing or adjusting fingerings. Many are arrangements of beautiful melodies with simplified accompaniments that keep the harmonic flavor of the composer. An effort was made to use pedagogical concepts presented in standard method books so they can easily be used as supplements.
The 12 solos and one duet are presented in relative order of difficulty from easiest to most challenging. Melody in the left hand, melodic entrances on offbeats or as pick-up notes, and diverse meters (including numerous pieces in 3/4 or 6/8), provide a great variety of delightful music.
The audio sample is "Souvenir" and "Watlz in Bb Major."
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
