First published in 1964 to mark the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth, this album presents musical adaptations of one of the greatest works in dramatic literature, Romeo and Juliet. Through transcriptions of the most representative excerpts, our edition offers advanced pianists access to the monumental compositions of Berlioz, Gounod, Prokofiev, and Tchaikovsky. The eighteen virtuosic pieces make an excellent addition to any concert repertoire.
