Three Fantasies

Among the many works Offenbach wrote for the Cello, is a series of operatic fantasies. Of these, there is a set of six under the title Fantaisies faciles Op.69-74, published in 1853. The new edition herewith confines itself to just three of the pieces based on operas which remain in the repertoire today. The original printed editions have been revised, with misprints corrected, passages where the Cello and Piano parts differ made to correspond and questions in the music text settled by recourse to the original opera score. / Violoncelle Et Piano

Par LOEB DAVID. David Loeb's new collection Fantasias on Eurasian Melodies, for piccolo alone, gathers together his Balinese Fantasies, Tibetan Fantasias, and Preludes on Eurasian materials for a thorough tour through these interconnected musical languages. The Fantasias, distinct among Loeb's works, draw on native musical sources while building complex, intriguing music more akin to concert repertoire than native folk music. The Balinese Fantasies utilize several Balinese scale types, rarely combined in single native works. Here they are allowed to intermingle freely throughout the fantasies, and within the ornamentations and variations. The Tibetan Fantasias are evocations of images, tone poemsfor the solo piccolo player. Surprising complexity hides within the three works - the first a beautiful day on a highland plain, the second a moonlight night, and the third a Tibetan minstrel song painted with a particularly haunting brush. The Preludes draw from a huge variety of traditions, even occasionally crossing languages within single movements, though each movement still emphasizes a single mood. This collection contains the previous stand-alone books - catalog numbers P-04, P-09, and P-17.

Complete Edition. Par LISZT FRANZ. Supplementary Volume 16 of the New Liszt Edition contains free arrangements and technical exercises. In the first section can be found early versions of three arrangements. The first consists of the first and intermediary versions of a transcription of Die Rose, a song Schubert composed to a poem by Schlegel. The arrangement of the second movement of Berlioz's Harold Symphony also draws on literary inspiration: Lord Byron's (1788-1824) narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) was a literary experience Liszt shared with Berlioz. The fantasy on themes from Bellini's opera La sonnambula [The Sleepwalker] (here the first version of 1842, and the second version dating from the following decade are given) is important in music history because it was while he worked on this (and other operatic fantasies) that Liszt developed a new concept of the form, which took shape in more complex and more concentrated fantasies than before. Particularly interesting material can be found in the appendix. In addition to sketches and drafts for arrangements of Spanish themes, there are three sources published here for the first time, which shed light on technical aspects of Liszt's piano teaching. These are three sets of exercises: the first written by Liszt himself for Valérie Boissier in 1832, the second a copy in an unidentified hand from the same period or slightly later, and finally the third which was noted down in 1871 by Henri Maréchal in Rome based on the composer's dictation. This latest volume of the New Liszt Edition includes a detailed preface in German, English, and Hungarian containing new research findings, together with five manuscript facsimiles and critical notes. Simultaneously with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a practical paperback version has been published, the contents of which are identical to those of the hardcover edition, minus the inclusion of critical notes./ Etude / Piano

Par WAITS TOM. This is Tom Waits' 19th album in a career spanning nearly three decades. The most bluesy to date, it is still characterised by fantastical characters, surreal fantasies and a gritty, 'artfully scratched' sound. Here are all the songs from the album, arranged for piano and voice with lyrics and guitar chord boxes. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Rép International / Recueil / Piano, Chant et Guitare

The Late Sonatas. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. Volume III of Schubert's Piano Sonatas includes the tuneful, dance-like Sonata in G major D 894 (1827), sometimes called the 'Fantasie” sonata, as well as the three great sonatas in C minor, A major and B-flat major (D 958, 959 and 960), which were conceived as a triptych and constitute the composer's greatest contribution to the piano sonata genre. The works pay homage to the three late sonatas of Beethoven. This scholarly-critical Urtext edition is based on the definitive musical text of the 'New Schubert Edition” and presents the works in a spacious new engraving with practical page turns. It includes an informative Foreword and detailed notes (Ger/Eng) on central performance practice issues such as the use of pedals and Schubert's distinctive manner of notating accents. It is rounded off by a Critical Commentary (Eng) with performance-related alternative readings. Schubert's drafts for individual sonata movements can be accessed on the Bärenreiter website. / Niveau : 6 / Classique / Répertoire / Piano

Par PARRY CHARLES HUBERT. Edited by Jeremy Dibble A key figure in the so-called English Musical Renaissance, Parry was a considerable composer of chamber music. His three violin sonatas, the first of which, in d minor, is here published for the first time, along with the Fantasie-sonata and Sonata in D major, date from the 1870s and 80s, and are contemporary with his four symphonies and setting of Milton's Blest Pair of Sirens. They are fine additions to the string repertoire and will be greeted enthusiastically by violinists seeking new material for recitals. Performing editions of each sonata are available separately. First published in 2003. Hardback/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
