Laskovsky. Selected Pieces for Piano

Ivan Feodorovich Laskovsky (1799-1855) was a prominent Russian composer and pianist who gained fame in salons of St. Petersburg in the first third of the 19th century. The musician mastered his skills taking the lessons from the famous John Field. Laskovsky's work, which includes more than 70 piano pieces - mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes and chamber works - is marked by the influence of Chopin and Schubert while preserving the original Slavic song features. This collection presents selected piano pieces that are in demand in contemporary didactical repertoire. The edition is addressed to pupils of children's music schools, students of music colleges and higher school at general piano class.
