"Piano Music of the Czech Romantics" collects and analyzes the piano music of Czech composers from the late-18th through the early-20th centuries. Ranging from well-known composers - Janacek, Smetana, and Martinu - to more obscure composers - Benda, Stepan, and Suk - each chapter contains a selection of each composer's most interesting pieces prefaced by a biographical and analytical essay. Some of the pieces are still available, but they are in various international editions, and some are out-of-print entirely, making this an invaluable collection for all pianists. In addition to the full piano scores, this collection contains scholarly essays that will be useful for liner and program notes, and for pedagogical and performance insights.
