Beautifully edited by Vancouver Symphony member, Douglas Sparkes. You will be thrilled with the sound of these songs. All audiences will love the sound of these songs for Horn and Piano. The songs of Mahler's famous cycle have been tastefully edited. If you practice melodious etudes for horn you will know the value of being able to perform with a smooth lyrical musical line. These songs will add expression to your playing and add real depth and variety to your recital. Here is what one performer says about the songs: " I played through the music last night and again this morning and find it so beautiful. So emotional and passionate. How could I expect anything less from Mahler. I'm really looking forward to playing it..." The songs are of moderate difficulty. Mr. Sparkes's transcription is very tastefully done with detailed editing of phrasing and dynamics.
