Old Russian Composers. 111 masterpieces. In four voiumes. Vol. 2

Dear friends!

The Compozitor Publishing House (St Petersburg) calls your attention to the four parts, united byу the title “Old Russian Romance. 111 masterpieces”. 

“Old romance” is the set expression capablе itself to evoke in one's mind some vivid and distinct pictures connected with the whole age's life. 

Though the authors of this genre are not known too well or sometimes simply forgotten, their miniature creations are very often aroused in our conscience already together with the first sounds or words. “Old romance”, however, is also the kind of special disposition, an attitude to reality, utterly independent of the time. Whenever these small masterpieces are created, all of them become the part of our musical life today.

That's why the romances in this exact edition are located according to the Russian alphabet succession, but not to the chronology. 

This edition is useful both for professional musicians and just music-lovers. This material is to bе appreciated especially as the manual for working in the vocal and concertmaster classes.
So, savour of the “Old romance” and let your heart “moan plaintively” and your “eyes grow sad with the tear” “in the beams of purple sunset”.
