For Solo Harp
Much of the standard harp repertoire performed today comes from the late 19th and 20th centuries, along with transcriptions of music originally written for other instruments. Intermediate Pieces for Solo Harp, Volume 1 offers something different: a collection of music originally composed for the harp during the first half of the 19th century.
This volume features six pieces by three celebrated harpist-composers: Nicolas-Charles Bochsa, Elias Parish-Alvars, and François-Joseph Dizi. All three were renowned virtuoso performers of their time and made significant contributions to the development of the harp and its repertoire.
While the composers are known for writing technically demanding music, the selections in this volume have been chosen at an intermediate level, making these beautiful works accessible to a wider range of harpists.
Edited by Carl Swanson and Catherine Michel, this collection is an excellent way for intermediate harpists to explore authentic 19th-century harp repertoire while discovering music by three influential figures in the history of the instrument.
