Saint-Saëns Violin Concerto No.3 - 3rd Movement

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

07 - Battement Jete On A 2 - Drummer Boys Variation From Graduation Ball - Johann Strauss - Preview

This Song without Words strikes me as almost overflowing with melodies. They come in various shapes, but produce an attractive forward momentum and a positive mood, the minor tonality notwithstanding. The middle section provides contrast of key and melodic shape, but maintains the character. Only in the coda, where the opening tune returns at half speed, does the music offer a sense of poignancy and heartache.
