Foss, Lukas - Anne Frank (A Brief Tone Poem about Her Life and Death) - Cello and Piano - Carl Fischer

This cello and piano transcription of Lukas Foss' important and moving orchestral work, Elegy for Anne Frank, is an intimate rendering of its subject. Extended and otherwise rare techniques for cello repertoire are hallmarks of this piece: false harmonics, scordatura, singing while playing, and more.

Dedicated to the work's editor, Stephen Honigberg, this sensitive and masterful depiction of the tragedy of Anne Frank's life and death could only have been written by Lukas Foss. His artistic caliber, his towering musical genius, and his heart for the subject matter make this portrait unforgettable.
