The Scherzo No. 1 in B minor, written between 1831 and 1832, is
marked "Presto con fuoco." The piece is very dark, dramatic, and
lively. The Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor, was composed and
published in 1837, and described by Schumann as "overflowing with
tenderness, boldness, love and contempt." The Scherzo No. 3 in
C-sharp minor is the most tightly constructed and grandest of the
four scherzos. His final Scherzo, No. 4 in E major, was written in
1842, is generally calmer, and is based on a Polish folk song. The
Fantasy in F minor was composed in 1842, 7 years before Chopin's
death in Paris.
inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly
and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are
undertaken inch. (Oliver James, Contact Magazine) A novel and
comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument.
430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two
parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble
repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An
outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's
brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and
recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes,
concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new
note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the
outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very
popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the
Enjoy the Recorder series.
