Hansel and Gretel

This volume presents the probably most beautiful and most popular children's opera that has ever been written, in an easy arrangement for piano, with all excerpts being in the respective original key. Among the seven operas composed by Humperdinck, 'Hänsel und Gretel' is his first and best masterpiece. The magical mood of this fairy-tale and the brilliant music explain why this opera still fascinates both children and adults. The series "Get to Know Classical Masterpieces" provides an introduction to well-known compositions in simple arrangements for piano by Hans-Günter Heumann. Complete with texts and colour illustrations throughout, these editions will appeal not only to both child and adult pianists, but to any music-lover who wishes to get to know these works better.
