About the piece
Arabesques, taking their title from the interlacing decorative patterns of Islamic ornament, an image nineteenth century composers liked for music built from curling, ornamental lines.
Lange's writing sits comfortably within reach of a moderately capable amateur, which was the whole point: the market was households with a piano and a family member who played a little.
