Sonata in A minor for Piano, op. 11 By Howard Hanson
Piano
Carl Fischer Music
P3322 - $14.95 See a page (JPG)
For almost eighty years, only incomplete manuscripts of this work were known to exist, but in 2007, the Eastman School of Music acquired a manuscript that had been in private hands since Howard Hanson’s widow’s death in 1996. Carl Fischer Music has now made this important work available to the world. Most notably, the final movement is well-known as one of the first symphonic band compositions by an American composer: "Triumphal Ode." A welcome addition to the library of music by a seminal American composer. For the intermediate to advanced player.

Astor Piazzolla Tangos for Two Pianos
in two volumes
A highly anticipated and well-received addition to the Carl Fischer roster
Volume 1: Libertango
Verano porteno
Tangata
Astor Piazzolla Volume 1 is a compilation of three piano tangos written by the great Argentine tango pianist and composer, Astor Piazzolla. The three piano pieces of the first Piazzolla volume are Libertango, Verano porteno, and Tangata. Libertango was composed in 1974 and was a popular song that jumpstarted the Piazzolla boom and since then has been recorded, performed, and emulated by many composers and musicians worldwide. The second piece of this volume, Verano porteno or “Summer in Buenos Aires”, was the first of Piazzolla’s timeless Las cuatro estaciones (The Four “Buenos Aires” Seasons) collection and was originally written for a 1965 stage play. The third and final installment in this collection is Tangata. This piece was composed in 1965 and is dedicated to the Argentine choreographer Oscar Araiz. Astor Piazzolla Volume 1 is a fantastic collection which has already received a great deal of public acclaim and praise.
Carl Fischer Music • PL127 • $19.95
Volume 2: Fuga y misterio
Milonga del ángel
La muerte del ángel
Soledad
Michelangelo 70
Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a compilation of five tangos: Fuga y misterio, Milonga del ángel, La muerte del ángel, Soledad and Michelangelo 70. Fuga y misterio was composed in 1968 as part of Piazzolla’s hugely successful operetta Maria de Buenos Aires, which later became the signature tune for a popular Argentine television show entitled "Tiempo Nuevo." Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a fantastic collection and is a must have for pianists. This piece comes as a highly anticipated addition to Astor Piazzolla-Tangos for Two Pianos, Volume 1.
