The Music for Ballet Classes series is a collection of CDs designed to provide dancers and dance teachers with all the music necessary for a complete classical ballet class. The featured piano on this album is a fantastic Fazioli concert grand with a wonderfully deep and resonant timbre. 
This fourth volume marks a departure from those previous in that tracks are not repeated for barre exercises, in order to provide some exercises with alternative tempi or time signatures. This makes Volume 4 the most flexible and best value album to date, featuring 40 separate tracks that span a wide variety of musical genres
