Original Compositions for Ballet Class, Vol. 11

 

Curtis A. Probel, Pianist

 

 

 

Colorful and contemporary rhythmic fun!

Mr. Probel uses his considerable talent and experience to bring Ballet class music to a

contemporary audience. This CD offers a Mambo, Rumba, Gavotte, and Strut along with

Waltzes, Adagios, Tangos, Marches, Codas, Mazurka, and Rags - a veritable rhythm fest.

Ten tracks for jumps and three additional midi tracks just for fun. The Barre, Grand Allegro,

and Piqués Coda tracks are repeated.

 

     "Curt's extensive experience as a Ballet accompanist really shines through these  original compositions. Getting the tempo just right for each exercise and building the musical aspects of the class in methodical order will prove an invaluable aid for any teacher. Class is hard work for both the dancer and teacher and this CD will be an inspiration to help them achieve their goals. "
