Boosey & Hawkes Solo Piano Collection: Solitude

The Boosey & Hawkes Solo Piano Collection provides the intermediate pianist with exciting repertoire in accessible yet authentic arrangements.

Duke Ellington’s famous “Solitude” provides the title for this fine collection of 35 well-known relaxing classical themes arranged for the intermediate pianist. The haunting theme from George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” sits alongside “Somewhere” by Leonard Bernstein and Copland’s “Simple Gifts” in addition to ever popular favourites including Faure’s “Pavane”, Satie’s “Gymnopédie no 1” and selections from Prokofiev’s music to the ballet “Romeo and Juliet”. This is a collection of pieces suitable for all occasions that you will want to leave on the piano and enjoy over and over again.
