Classical. Beyond the Galant is an entirely new way to approach the musical styles, the fascinating stories, and the electric music of Joseph Haydn's "Sturm und Drang" period. The arrangements of Symphonies 26, 44, 45, and 48 will challenge not only yourtechnique, but your sense of phrasing and grace. The practical historical commentary that accompanies this work will aid the interpretation of the many ornaments used by Haydn, elucidate some of the controversies surrounding these works, and show you theworld of Esterh za in which Haydn and his musicians were making some of the world's finest music. - Douglas Lindsey
