Two Pianos Four Hands-Orchestral reduction and solo part arranged by Harbison for Two Pianos Four Hands. 2 Copies needed to perform. John Harbison (b. 1938) is an American composer who has written for every type of concert genre including symphonies operas and large choral works and who is known for his lyrical and wide range. He cites his influences as Bach Stravinsky and Jazz but his Piano Concerto (1978) with its two free expressive movements could almost be described as Chopin-esque. Dedicated to Robert Millar it was commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra. As the Piano is no longer the dominant medium in the musical world it is the composer’s intent to provide a work that can start a new future for this incredible instrument. Originally scoredfor Solo Piano and Orchestra this arrangement has been transcribed for two Pianos.

Coriolan Ouverture op. 62- Urtext edition study score for Ludwig Van Beethoven 's Coriolan Overture Op.62 . Beethoven 's Coriolan Overture Op.62 was inspired by the tragic legend of the Ancient Romanhero Coriolanus. This story enjoyed popularity in the early 1800s as the subject of a play by the Austrian writer Heinrich Joseph von Collin. By the time that Beethoven composed this overture in 1807 however the playhad long since been taken off the programme. Apparently it no longer mattered to the composer whether his music was performed in conjunction with the play or not – and he thus wrote one of the earliest and to-date best-lovedconcert overtures in musical history. The text of the Beethoven Complete edition was carefully reviewed for this Henle Urtext study edition and there is a new preface.
