Product Description

This piano arrangement is based on one of Schubert's Lieder, "Erlkönig" (Erlking) Op.1 D 328, originally composed for voice and piano. Premiered in 1821, it swiftly earned acclaim as a significant piece in Western music.

The vocalist embodies four distinct characters - the narrator, a father, his young son, and the eponymous "Erlking," a supernatural being in pursuit of the boy. The piano mirrors the implied scene of horse riding with rapid triplet figures, simulating hoof beats.

Arranged in the key of D minor, this piano rendition features swift triplets and continuous motion, evoking a sense of urgency and darkness. It showcases rapid finger work in the right hand and scalic passages in the left hand. These elements contribute to the overall complexity and nuanced expression of the piece, providing an opportunity to develop dexterity and musicality through these specific piano techniques.

It is well-suited for piano learners at the Piano Adventure/Faber Level 2b - 3a.
