Synopsis:

A collection of some of the most beautiful classic pieces of the Romantic Era. Editor Joseph Smith has carefully selected short pieces that pay tribute to the many aspects of romanticism. These pieces offer a particularly intimate and personal vision of each composer represented.

The performances on the CD suggest possibilities to players for artistic interpretation. As with all books in this series, it includes a unique lay-flat binding to help keep the music open on the music stand.
