Main Description Master the majestic themes of history's most famous orchestral works with this exceptional collection by Kenon D. Renfrow. Published in 2001 by Alfred, this music book provides 9 professional arrangements specifically crafted for the intermediate to late intermediate pianist.
Renfrow skillfully translates complex symphonic textures into beautiful, playable piano solos, capturing the essential "heart" of concertos by legendary composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky. These pieces are ideal for students or hobbyists looking to explore the Classical and Romantic concerto repertoire without the extreme technical demands of the original scores. Each arrangement is complete as a solo but is also compatible with General MIDI accompaniments for a full "with-orchestra" experience.
Highlights include the powerful themes from Tchaikovsky’s Concerto No. 1, the lyrical beauty of Mozart’s Concerto No. 21, and the sweeping romanticism of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2. This book is an invaluable resource for any pianist wanting to perform high-impact, recognizable themes from the greatest piano concertos ever written.
