Edited by J. MILSHTEIN and K. SOROKINPublished according to the edition: P. I. Chaikovsky. Selected Works for Piano. Issue 4. - M .: Muzgiz, 1949. From the editorsThis edition is based on selected piano works by P. I. Tchaikovsky, the text of the academic edition is put (Tchaikovsky P. Complete Works, v. 51-a, 51-6, 52, 53). Considering that during the publication process the author made some changes and clarifications to the text, the editors also used a number of other editions of Tchaikovsky's works, including the editions of Jurgenson revised by the author. All the author's instructions regarding tempo, dynamics, phrasing, as well as fingering and pedaling, in a word, everything taken from the original text is printed in large print; all additions, both made in the new edition of Jürgenson and apparently authorized, and belonging to editors, are indicated in small print.(From the preface to the first edition)

The collection includes Russian classical romances transcribed for female vocal duet. The pieces are from the repertoire of the outstanding ensemble of Ruzanna and Karina Lisitsian. The collection's highlights include A. Gurilyov's 'Bluebell', P. Bulakhov's 'No, I Don't Love You', A. Dargomyzhsky's 'I Feel Sad', etc. For use in educational practice and in performance, as well as for home music making. PREFACEThe pieces of this collection figured in the programs of our recitals for many years. Unfortunately, Russian composers, in contrast to Western (especially Italian and German) ones, were not especially active in the genre of duet for soprano and mezzo. To present a more complete panorama of Russian vocal music, we sang not only original duets, but also ensemble versions of solo songs. Some of them are published here. The romances and their arrangements were often selected with the help of the outstanding musician ?. M. Shlyakhter. When performed by duo, some pieces sound in a rather unusual manner, with new, often unexpected nuances. We hope that this collection will be useful to teachers and professional performers specialized in ensemble singing, as well as to vocal music lovers.
