Synopsis

Product Description
The piano works of Charles-Valentin Alkan (1813 88) are among the
most demanding ever written, but they can also gleam with a fierce joy and
twinkle with mischievous humor, so it s hardly surprising to find his works
for piano duet bubbling with freewheeling energy. The two works for pedal
piano transcribed here for two pianos by Roger Smalley show a more
solemn side to this devoutly religious composer, though they also have their
own charge of excitement and Alkan s trademark eccentric originality.
