For Fingerstyle Guitar. Par BAKER DUCK. This volume is intended as a folio of arrangements from the repertoire of a working musician. As such, there is only a minimum of discussion about the technical aspects of playing. Students who have already dealt with the American style called fingerpicking or fingerstyle guitar, which is quite distinct from other kinds of guitar playing, will be at an advantage. The easiest arrangements here are early intermediate level, while the other end of the scale includes pieces that may challenge even a professional. Tunes within each section are presented generally in order of difficulty. The bulk of the tunes presented are fiddle tunes, with a couple of banjo tunes and several songs as well as tunes originally played on other instruments such as harp, pipes, or accordion. There are even a small number composed for the guitar. For the most part, differences in approach among the tunes here are unrelated to the instrumental sources. All the tunes are presented in notation and tablature. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Fiddle Tunes - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

Creation 04/11/2018 - Cologne (Germany), Philharmonie - Anaïs Gaudemard (harp) Sponsor Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Philharmonie de Paris Dedication to Anaïs Gaudemard Notice Nighthawks is a work for solo harp. When Anaïs Gaudemard [1] asked me to write this work, she wanted to integrate it into a program on the theme of birds. I immediately thought of the work Nighthawks (1942) - or Night Birds - by the American realist painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Inspired by this work, I designed the piece in one piece as a trip to the heart of this painting. Hopper projects there a snapshot of American daily life. The scene takes place at a late hour of the night and several atmospheres emerge from it. Indeed, the eye is at the same time attracted by this dark, deserted, and immaculate street of an American downtown; intrigued by the frozen situation of the four characters inside a brightly colored diner; and hypnotized by the glare of the huge bar window. Contrasting with the darkness of the street, the light from this neon-lit window is striking. It thus separates the two atmospheres of the painting. The view of the spectator through it is from outside to inside the bar. The absence of an exit door gives the impression that the characters are isolated and their solitude is further reinforced by this glass which surrounds the illuminated stage - as if they were under a bell . Inside the diner, a man seen from behind is eating; a couple stand side by side (the man smokes; the woman is dressed in red); a server is busy. We don't know anything about them. What are they doing at such a late hour? Where is the exit? What are they discussing? Do they know each other? I wanted to musically conceive this scene from the viewer's point of view, as if we were caught up, sucked into the very interior of the painting. The introduction - Mysterious, dark - sounds the twelve strokes of midnight and plunges us into the darkness of this typically American street. From this nocturnal atmosphere is born a strange song - almost padded with xylophonic sounds - as if we could not hear it distinctly through the luminous glass which separates the street and the bar. Caught up in this bright light, we pass through the window and gradually return inside the diner by means of a hypnotic loop repeated tirelessly, as if we were entering a state of trance - Hypnotic. It is the underlying tension of this frozen situation of the characters that I wanted to represent in the central passage - Rhythmic and pulsed. Then, we come out of this feeling of hypnosis by passing through the bar window again and rediscover the nocturnal atmosphere of this deserted and immaculate street - Hypnotic - Mysterious. Camille Pepin [1] Creator and dedicatee of the piece Hurry What a simply beautiful work here! Camille Pépin, born in 1990, had a career marked by dance and composition. But we discover here quite simply an artist, who invites us to the contemplation of a work of the painter Edward Hopper. Having worked on composition and orchestration with Thierry Perrine as well as with Thierry Escaich, Guillaume Connesson and Marc-André Dalbavie, she has forged an original language which allows her here to bewitch us both by her music and by contemplation of the painting. We can judge by the interpretation of this piece on YouTube that we will listen to while looking at the painting. Of course, you can also listen to the work as it is: it is sufficient. But with the painting ... Daniel blackstone Music Education n ° 128 (Jan-Feb 2020)

Following in the tradition of Bach, Chopin, and other composers, Melody Bober has written the In All Keys series, which includes original piano solos in all major and minor keys. Each book in the series contains 16 pieces and follows the circle of fifths, with pieces in major keys followed by pieces in relative minor keys. Book 1 features one piece in C major, one piece in A minor, and the seven major 'sharp' keys (G, D, A, E, B, F-sharp, and C-sharp major) and their relative minors (E, B, F-sharp, C-sharp, G-sharp, D-sharp, and A-sharp minor). Book 2 includes one piece in C major, one piece in A minor, and the seven major 'flat' keys (F, B-flat, E-flat, A-flat, D-flat, G-flat, and C-flat major) and their relative minors (D, G, C, F, B-flat, E-flat, and A-flat minor). The C major and A minor pieces of Book 1 are different than the C major and A minor pieces of Book 2. The pieces with five, six, and seven sharps in Book 1 have been transposed to their enharmonic flat keys for Book 2. These pieces help develop reading skills, and they reinforce the study of scales, arpeggios, and chords. / Piano

Why not indeed. J.S. Bach taught his sons using the music of his time popular dances preludes and exercises by living composers. It would never have occurred to him to seek out pieces in styles and rhythms one hundred years old. He expected his boys to thrive in the musical world of their time.American Popular Piano has been developed on the same principles. Students working in this series will? ? develop traditional pianistic and musical skills through music in contemporary popular styles;? be motivated to practice by working on music that is familiar fun and that they can?t wait to play; ? nurture their creativity and spontaneity through a user-friendly modular approach to improvisation; ? enjoy regular ensemble playing; ? and find pleasure in a lifelong relationship with music!Written entirely by Christopher Norton and Scott McBride Smith American Popular Piano is an educational piano course which comprises 44 books clearly divided into 11 difficulty levels.
