Niels Gade Fantasy Pieces

Author: David Peacham

Any advice on playing these (tempi etc etc)? Mark C - a search shows that you have played them; what's your advice?!

The second one is set for Grade 5 exams in England and I have a recording of it. I don't know of any recording of the whole set. My first impressions are that the second and third pieces are playable and fun, the last may be a wee bit too hard for me at the tempo I suspect it needs, the first is maybe not very interesting.

The Gade Fantasistykker have been recorded in their entirety:

Kontrapunkt KPT32078
ARSIS CD 96011
Fermate FER20003

HB Direct lists the Fermate as available. See:

http://www.hbdirect.com/searchidx.cfm?CFID=48728&CFTOKEN=31848797

If it's any help, the timings on the Fermate are 2:11, 2:18, 5:11 and 3:15.

Best regards,
jnk

I worked on them to the marked tempo; they were my 1st "real pieces" (meaning my 1st w/ piano accompaniment) so I worked on them for quite a long while.

They're pretty pieces; not too complex musically but good enough to hold the interest of a 3rd year student.
