Humperdinck | Hansel and Gretel (Easy Piano)

This edition is part of Schott’s Get to Know Classical Masterpieces series, which provides an introduction to well-known compositions in simple arrangements for piano. Complete with texts and colour illustrations throughout, these editions appeal not only to both child and adult pianists, but to any music lover who wishes to get to know these works better.

Among the seven operas composed by Humperdinck, Hänsel und Gretel is his first and best masterpiece, and is probably most beautiful and most popular children's opera ever written. The magical mood of this fairy tale and the brilliant music explain why this opera still fascinates both children and adults.
