Highlights from Opera and Concert Band 1 Famous Pieces in Easy Arrangements 歌劇室內管樂團 小品 編曲 4手聯彈(含以上) 朔特版

這本為鋼琴二重奏改編的古典'精選'作品集填補了現有大量教材中的空白，因為它努力將此類改編作品的教育適用性與原作的藝術品質結合起來。它的新穎之處不在於所選曲目的選擇，原因顯而易見，而在於它試圖提供從非常簡單到中等難度的素材，同時又不會造成結構複雜性或音色豐富性的典型損失，這些損失會嚴重扭曲原作"

原文簡介:
This collection of classical 'highlights' arranged for piano duet fills a gap in the vast amount of teaching material avaliable in that it endeavours to combine the educational suitability of such arrangements with the artistic quality of the original works. What is new is not so much the selection of the pieces offered, but the reasons for which are obvious, but rather the attempt that has been made to provide material ranging from the very easy to the moderately difficult, without incurring the all too typical loss of structural complexity or richness of tonal quality, losses which can seriouly distort the original.
