The pieces in this book were selected because most are popular themes from the hundreds of Symphonic and Opera pieces ever composed. Arranged for piano solos and may be performed in concerts, recitals, or any special occasion. Each solo has a fascinating story behind it and the variety of styles which span 300 years of musical history will bring enjoyment to the listener and performer. While you play the solo from Dvo?ák’s “New World Symphony”, just imagine what it was like to have it heard in Space during Neil Armstrong’s historic Apollo 11 Lunar Space flight. There are 11 solos for you to play in your own corner of the world.
