Three sketches is a series of three pieces for Piano named after the elements. Composed by Masayuki Nagatomi, it is quite a difficult series to play and it requires some advanced skills and abilities. The total duration of the set is 5'30 minutes. The pieces are: 1. Wind - which main theme represents a soft and quiet breeze, 1'30 2. Fire - fast and violent, which can destroy everything, and which depicts the flames sometimes big and sometimes smaller, 1'30 3. Water and Earth - really slow to start with, this part sounds like a river flowing quietly, with some part of acceleration The most difficult aspect of this series will probably be to give the correct execution for the audience to recognise each element. .

Drawing inspiration from books and films of fantasy adventure, Johnnie's three-movement suite explores a variety of descriptive moods and styles. The first movement (Wizards) has a noble and grand flavor, while the second (Elves) is more playful and mischievous in design. The concluding movement (Talking Animals) uses rhythmic energy and mixed meters in creating a bit of a rambunctious setting. Themes from the earlier movements are then brought back for the grand finale. Dur: 8:00.

Three Autumn Sketches after a Watercolor by Maria Willscher (2017) are dedicated to Hans-Peter Bahr. The music is inspired by a watercolor painting by Maria (Neumann) Willscher (1922-1998) entitled Herbststimmung. The three movements explore moods and colors of autumn as reflected in the painting. In the first movement, Herbststimmung (Autumn Mood), a musical line falls under gentle undulation. A central section is a wistful chorale. The second movement, Herbstfarben (Autumn Colors), reflects on the subtle variety and gradations of autumn colors with constantly shifting armonic colors. The final movement, Sonnenuntergang (Sunset), is inspired by the serenely beautiful colors of an autumn sunset, imagining the sun's departing rays illuminating the autumn landscape. Instrumentation: Organ Duration: 16' Composed: 2017 Published by: Zimbel Press.

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.

Wind Sketches is a top quality concert work for wind band in three movements, inspired by the relationship between man and wind. Trade Winds, in the form of a march, is reminiscent of a shanty, conjuring up seafaring and the tradewinds. Becalmed, harmonically and melodically almost static, depicts the doldrums. All the more contrasting is Riding the Storm, which concerns the love-hate relationship of people to the winds that he needs and at the same times fears.Wind Sketches is een eersteklas concertwerk voor blaasorkest. Het bestaat uit drie delen, die gebaseerd zijn op de relatie tussen de mens en de wind: Trade Winds, in marsvorm, doet denken aan een shanty en roept associaties op met dezee en passaatwinden. Becalmed, dat in melodieus en harmonieus opzicht bijna statisch is, schetst een windstilte. Riding the Storm is stormachtig: het beschrijft de haat-liefdeverhouding tussen de mens en de wind.Wind Sketches ist ein hochkaratiges Konzertwerk fur Blasorchester in drei Satzen, die alle von der Beziehung Mensch und Wind inspiriert sind: Der erste Trade Winds in Marschform erinnert an ein Shanty und an Passatwinde auf hoher See.Der zweite Satz, Becalmed, harmonisch und melodisch fast statisch, beschreibt eine Flaute. Umso kontrastreicher ist der dritte Satz, Riding the Storm, der von der Hassliebe des Menschen des Menschen zu Winden gepragt ist.Les trois mouvements de cette piece s'inspirent des rapports entre les humains et divers types de vents. Le premier, Alizes (Trade Winds), prend la forme d'une marche aux accents de chansons de marins, le deuxieme mouvement, Encalmine(Becalmed), est de nature quasi statique, sans grand developpement melodique ou harmonique. Le finale, Porte par la tempete (Riding the Storm), depeint les relations humaines, par le biais de vents tumultueux, dangereux, benefiques etvivifiants.I tre movimenti di questo brano si ispirano al rapporto dell'uomo con il vento. Il primo, Trade Winds, prende la forma di una marcia dagli accenti di mare, il secondo movimento, Becalmed, e di natura quasi statica, senza grandi sviluppimelodici o armonici. Il finale, Riding the Storm, descrive i tanti venti tumultuosi, pericolosi, benefici e vigorosi.

The music, based on a cell of 4 bars with a typical tonal progression that is constantly variated, is simple, beautiful and bright.The last sketch is an homage to Federico Fellini’s universe. With a typical Italian dance rhythm (including references to Nino Rota’s music), this piece evokes the crazy, funny and melancholic wMusic For a While est une collection de trois courts croquis.

About two years ago I was asked if I could write a companion piece to the Poulenc Trio for a group of concerts to be given by the Opera North Trio. Given the short notice (a matter of weeks!) I decided to take these three dance movements (two from my sonata for bass clarinet and piano, and one from my sonata for viola and piano) and arrange them for oboe, bassoon and piano. (With the Meltemi Ensemble in mind I also made a version with flute as an alternative to oboe.) Each dance is a sketch portraying a different 'Movie' genre; The black and white comedy of the silent era in the Foxtrot. Memories of Charlie Chaplain and Buster Keaton. The darkness of 'Film Noir' in the seductive Tango. (Humphry Bogart and Lauren Bacall). Finally, a lavish set; put on your top hat and tails, your beautiful dress, and dance before a huge studio orchestra!
