Product Description
This is my own arrangement of one of my favorite Rachmaninoff pieces, his Etude-Tableau in G minor from the op. 33 set (labeled no. 5 or no. 7 in the set, depending on whom you ask), written in 1911. Suitable for early advanced players, this arrangement is a great addition to your next recital program. The violin part contains numerous parallel sixths, making this a fruitful study in double-stopped 6ths for the high-school or college-age violinist. In addition, the piano accompaniment might also work well on the harp.
Both the score and the violin part are included with your purchase.
About the Arranger:
Praised
as a "sensitive pianist" and "outstanding accompanist" who delivers
"powerful interpretations," Nicole Elyse DiPaolo is a versatile pianist,
composer, and scholar currently based in Bloomington, Indiana. She
holds a B.Mus in Music Theory from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor,
where she studied piano under Michele Cooker and Louis Nagel; she also
studied composition with Bright Sheng and basso continuo/harpsichord
accompaniment with Edward Parmentier. In 2006 and 2007, Nicole appeared
as a concerto soloist with the Ambassador Chamber Players, featuring
works of J. S. Bach and Mozart alongside two performances of her own
Piano Trio in C minor. Following her graduation from Michigan, Nicole
completed an MM in Music Theory from Indiana University-Bloomington,
where she has recently become a PhD candidate in the same field; her
dissertation research will explore relationships between selected early partimenti (instructional sketches used by Italian composition teachers) and George Frideric Handels compositional techniques.
Currently,
Nicole is a sought-after private instructor of piano, music theory, and
composition on the IU campus, where she is also an active mostly-vocal
accompanist. Nicole continues to enjoy musical partnerships with
students of nearly every current IU voice department faculty member (and
she unashamedly absorbs and borrows teaching/coaching/performing tips
from all these professors). In addition, she has taken French and German
diction courses with Prof. Gary Arvin.
Notable recent
engagements include the 2016 and 2017 National Society of Arts and Letters Vocal
Competitions (multiple entrants); the "Opera Night at North" benefit
concert with students of IU's top-ranked opera program (among them
"Accidental Tenor" Andrew Lunsford); and two long-term cruise ship
performing contracts with violinist Amy Schlicher as the Duo del Mare.
When
not working on one of her many concurrent musical projects, Nicole
might be found maintaining The Collaborative Pianists Community on
Facebook, cuddling the nearest dog, looking for opportunities to
maintain her Spanish and Italian language skills, and raising and
releasing monarch butterflies. To learn more about Nicoles many and
varied performing, teaching, research, and publishing pursuits, please
