The Themes From Masterworks series enlarges the students' musical horizons, acquainting them with vocal and instrumental literature they could not meet if their repertoire were limited to music written for piano. Each of the three 16-page books contains themes from well-known orchestral or vocal masterworks in pianistic transcriptions that preserve the flavor of the original. Composers included in Book 2 are: Bach * Bizet * Corelli * Dvorák * Haydn * Rossini * Schumann * Strauss * Tchaikovsky.
