Symphony No.4 in F Major - A Pianoforte Arrangement for Four Hands by Charles Wood - Op.31 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781528707473)

"Symphony No.4 in F Major, Op.31" is a classic music composition in four movements for piano, composed by Charles V. Stanford and arranged by Charles Wood. This book contains the complete sheet music for the composition, proudly presented here in its original form for the enjoyment of musicians and students new and old. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 - 1924) was an Irish composer, conductor, and teacher of music. He was educated at the University of Cambridge and continued his studies in Berlin and Leipzig. He was a very influential composer, responsible for making Cambridge University Musical Society an internationally-acclaimed organisation. Stanford was also a profuse composer, producing a large corpus of work in many genres; however, he is perhaps best remembered for his Anglican choral works for church performance. His music eventually became overshadowed by that of Edward Elgar and a number of his former pupils in the in the 20th century. Charles Wood (1866 - 1926) was an Irish composer and teacher. A number of his students went on to become famous musicians and composers, including Ralph Vaughan Williams and Herbert Howells. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of musical notation.
