Description
This is a piano arrangement of one of the orchestral entr'actes from Bizet's opera 'Carmen.' Transferring the original's lyrical, wistfully beautiful melody to the piano, it preserves the mood of the orchestral version, tinged with the exotic Spanish atmosphere of the story. Suited to intermediate players, it calls for a singing melodic line balanced against a delicately voiced accompaniment.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

About the Composer
Georges Bizet (1838-1875)
Georges Bizet was a French composer from Paris, world-famous as the composer of the opera Carmen. His music is marked by passionate, vividly colored melody and orchestration; although Carmen was poorly received at its premiere, it is now regarded as one of opera's great masterpieces. This site includes two pieces: an entr'acte and the Prelude to Carmen.
