50 Russian Folk Songs

Tchaikovsky created this ambitious series of duets from a selection of folksongs which had been collected by Balakirev, Villebois, and Tchaikovsky himself. These fairly simple pieces are a treasure trove of rich keyboard excellence.

Always a favorite with students. Difficulty Level: 1-2.

Includes complete printed music score with both primo and secondo piano parts, and a compact disc featuring the duets in two formats: split-channel stereo with secondo part on the left channel, primo on the right, so you can play either part, and then again with just the secondo part in stereo so you can perform the primo part alongside.

Performed by Sondra Bianca, piano Accompaniment: Harriet Wingreen, piano
