The Classical period saw a broad reaction against the layered complexities of Baroque music and led to a simpler relationship between melody and harmony. It reflected the mid-18th century's wider enthusiasm for reviving the clean, well-ordered structures of Greek classicism across the arts. The orchestra expanded in size, woodwind became a self-contained section and the Harpsichord was increasingly displaced by the recently invented fortepiano. Instrumental music dominated, notably symphony and string quartet, with examples of both strands represented here in beautiful and accurate Piano arrangements that are perfect for seasoned players of Classical music, or those new to the period.The Library Of Classical Music sheet music songbook covers the rich musical period that followed Baroque and preceded Romantic. The Classical era saw some of Europe's greatest composers exploring new musical possibilities, spanning some 70 years starting in the mid-18th century. The spirit of Classicism would last until the new preoccupations of Romanticism defined the next major period of Western music. All of this makes The Library Of Classical Music a brilliant collection of Piano sheet music that works as well as an introduction to the period as it does as a comprehensive anthology of the greatest works of that era. / Piano

First gaining prominence in Australia in the 1970s as a composer of music for dance Carl Vine has 25 dance scores to his credit. His catalogue also includes seven symphonies eight concertos music for film television and theatre electronic music and numerous chamber works. Although primarily a composer of modern 'classical' music he has undertaken tasks as diverse as arranging the Australian National Anthem and writing music forthe Closing Ceremony of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics (the 'Sydney 2000' presentation).This complex and challenging Piano Sonata was composed by Vine for the Sydney Dance Company in 1991. It isdedicated to the Australian pianist Michael Kieran Harvey who first performed the piece in North Melbourne in June 1991.The music is full of rich chordal movements unusual flowing harmonies and tonalities with greatextremes of dynamic and energy. Reflecting the physical origins of the piece as a dance the music is dotted with very strict changes of tempo which require exact adherence rather than the Rubato approach that typifies many Pianointerpretations.
