Wittrich, Peter – The Little Prince

Description

Who hasn’t heard of the Little Prince? Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s story has been translated into many languages and is known throughout the world. Peter Wittrich sets to music characters and scenes inspired by fairy tales, as well as emotional and spiritual experiences from the story, which is popular with all generations. Following the successful publication of his piano solo cycle The Little Prince (ED 23028), the poetic images of this timeless story inspired him to create a new, more opulent edition for piano duet full of sound and poetry. This anthology is designed specifically for four-handed performance, in an expandable form, and is an exciting addition to the striking pieces of the first cycle. Each piece is a small masterpiece that offers both technical challenges and creative freedom. In addition, there are three enchanting arrangements of well-known Christmas carols for the festive season. This mini-suite combines the spirit of Christmas with the magical world of the Little Prince.
