Edition for solo piano, edited by David Owen Norris.
this is the
first published version of Gustav Holst's »The Planets« arranged for
solo piano. Originally scored for two pianos and four hands, this epic
orchestral work continues to astound and charm audiences around the
world, even a century after Holst started work on »Mars, the Bringer of
War«.
This volume allows the pianist to emulate those thumping
ostinatos, crashing chord, glistening textures and soothing harmonies,
bringing the wonder of the planets even closer to the player.
