De melodische wendingen en harmonische rijkdom in combinatie met de verassende modulaties en levendige ritmes maken deze stukken tot een aantrekkelijke suite voor pianisten van alle leeftijden en speelniveaus.

Pianist, 2018

Le Pas espagnol ist zugleich die technisch anspruchvollste Komposition des ganzen Zyklus. Beide Parts sind gleichermaßen virtuos und erfordern schon ein recht hohes Maß an pianistischem Können. Für Kinderhände ist das sicher zu schwer. Alle anderen Stücke sind aber auch für kleine Pianisten machbar. Das Querformat der Ausgabe ist da ebenfalls von Vorteil. Die vorliegende Edition aus dem Hause Henle entspricht in allen Punkten den hohen Standards einer Urtext-Ausgabe.
