Description

Mikhail Glinka – The Lark For Piano Book

Urtext Edition

‘The Lark’, one of the most beloved Russian songs of the Romantic era, was composed by Mikhail Glinka and later transformed into a virtuosic piano transcription by Mili Balakirev. This Urtext edition from G. Henle Publishers is based on two newly rediscovered sources: Balakirev’s original autograph manuscript and a print copy with his revisions, which document the definitive version of the piece.

A favourite for encores and recitals, this impressive transcription is characterised by its blend of melancholy and brilliance. Russian star pianist Evgeny Kissin contributed fingerings of the highest quality, enhancing this exceptional edition.
