Phillip Sear plays a short study in B minor - sometimes called 'Danse Triste' (Sad Dance) - from a set of 25 'Etudes Mélodiques' (c. 1845) by Stephen Heller. NOTE - THIS VIDEO WAS RECORDED IN APRIL 2017 (NOT 2016 AS PER TITLES). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Since recording some other studies a few years ago, I have rather neglected the music of the Hungarian pianist and composer Stephen Heller (Heller István (1813 -- 88)) - mainly owing the the unfeasibly large hands needed to perform many of his works correctly. These titles appear in American and British editions with titles - but I am not sure if they are authentic - they do not appear in early editions. The close crossing of hands required in this piece is a technique also much favoured in the piano works of Carl Reinecke. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear http://www.psear.co.uk (Email: [email protected] WhatsApp: http://wa.me/441444483794 ) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pianogems
