Thomas' original works use the elegant Romantic style of his own day, but he often drew on Welsh folksong for his inspiration and also left a generous legacy of transcriptions, especially of operatic favourites. Although some of his music was intended for the Victorian drawing room, other pieces require a virtuoso technique - and all of it has a thoroughly engaging melodic appeal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duo Praxedis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40648511258695,"sku":"44182175","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4302795-3148813.jpg?v=1713091959","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/meyerbeer-bellini-complete-duos-for-harp-piano-vol-4","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
