Description
In his work "Le Carnival des Animaux" Camille Saint-Saëns takes the audience on a tour of the zoo, including the unlikely exhibits of the "Pianist" and the "Fossils". Experience the composer's musical interpretation of some of the animal kingdom's most popular creatures. Ravel's elegant "Rapsodie Espagnole Suite" for orchestra was arranged by the composer for piano, four-hands. Discover the musical heritage Ravel inherited from his Basque mother as he waxes rhapsodic on latin themes and rhythms in this evocative work.

Come For
Pianist and Julliard alum, Greg Anderson, is making a splash with his virtuosic arrangements of well-known tunes for piano four hands. Rediscover Strauss' perfected waltz, Rachmaninoff's poignant melodies, and Mozart's playful operatic romp with Anderson's piano four-hands arrangements of "The Blue Danube", "Vocalise" and "The Magic Flute".
