| Publisher Description: Contained within these pages is the complete sheet music for Charles Villiers Stanford's piano composition "Ballande in G Minor, Op.170". Presented clearly with room for annotations and notes, this volume is ideal for music students and piano players with an interest in Stanford's seminal work. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the 20th century. Other notable compositions by Stanford include: "The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan" (1879), "Savonarola" (1883), "The Canterbury Pilgrims" (1883). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of musical notation. |
