Christoph Willibald (von) Gluck (July 2, 1714 - November 15, 1787) was a German composer, one of the most important opera composers of the Classical music era, particularly remembered for Orfeo ed Euridice. He is also remembered as the music teacher of Marie Antoinette who as Queen of France promoted Gluck and was his patron. Some regard him as the father of the Rococo and Classical age of music---at least in Opera. Gluck's operatic reforms, eliminating all that was undramatic, were a turning point in the history of the medium.

Interest : Skill level : Thank you very much! This is
one of those pieces that
deserve exquisite attention
and concentration as the food
for the soul that it is. Your
score will indeed help me to
achieve it.

Interest : Skill level : j'ai fait une autre version
sur mon site (accompagnement
guitare)
http://www.guitare-musique.be
j'ai gardé le plus possible
les enrichissements
harmoniques qu'on a au piano.
La guitare reprend
discrètement certaines fin de
phrases du chanteur, donc pas
nécessaire de rajouter un
autre instrument (flûte..) -
pour permettre à la "mélodie -
et au chanteur" de respirer

Interest : Skill level : This is truly wonderful! I
was asked to prepare a piano
version for a wedding coming
up and here it was in all its
glory. The rendition is quite
easy but entirely faithful to
the sources. Thanks so much.
