This series of easy piano music for teaching purposes presents pupils in the lower and lower middle grades with a carefully chosen selection of well-known and lesser-known compositions by important masters. The volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. There are four existing harpsichord books with a total of 226 compositions by Francois Couperin le Grand (1668 -1733). His works are as unknown to pianists as they are famous among harpsichord players. The grace and imaginativeness of his works lend themselves especially well to the sound of the harpsichord, which is why the piano interpretation of works by Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti and other composers of that time has been categorically rejected. But, after all, the works of Bach and Handel were written for the haipsichord and clavichord, and no one would dare question their intetpretation on the pianoforte. In order to introduce these lmpressionists of the Baroque Era to piano instruction, the editor has added to this series a folio of both Couperin's and Rameau's (EB 8033) music. The selection of the pieces is based on two criteria: 1. relatively modest demands made on technique, 2. various musical forms of expression. The Butterflies and the Windmills are both especially typical of masterful character pieces. The demands made on technique certainly correspond to a level of moderate difficulty. The simplifications made are restricted to the artistically realized twopart accompaniment (eg. p. 4 f. and p. 8 f.) with regard to finger stretch and to the profuse ornamentation of the original. The indications for phrasing and articulation are those of the editor. The first two pieces have been precisely elaborated on in this respect to serve as a model, whereas the remaining pieces contain only suggestions. As in other folios of this series; what is here to be stressed, is the importance of working out independently the phrasing and the dynamics. Directions for this are given by the respective footnotes; these directions, however, are not obligatory. lndications pertaining to dynamics and tempo have been omitted completely; the clearly recognizable character of the individual pieces should be direction enough. The tonal possibilities of the piano should in any case be used subtly. The very precise fingerings have been adapted to the suggested phrasings and to the corresponding realization of trills (according to the table). Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Spring 1980.

This brand-new series is intended as a guide to the keyboard music of the 16th to 19th centuries for pupils of the piano and the harpsichord, as well as of other early keyboard instruments. Each volume contains pieces by well-known and lesser-known composers from one country or region.

Our edition retains the performance indications of the composers' manuscripts and contemporary editions.

Whoever thinks that Scheidt did not produce any keyboard works worth mentioning besides the Tabulatura nova must revise his judgment. Pieter Dirksen presents 25 pieces here.
ISBN 9790004183953. 9 x 12 inches.
Twelve pieces are ascertainably by Scheidt, three are early versions of pieces from the Tabulatura nova, and ten can be assigned to Scheidt with absolute certainty on the basis of stylistic criteria. It was long believed that some of these works had been written by Sweelinck. But Dirksen, as co-editor of the Sweelinck Works for Keyboard Instruments (EB 8741-44), applies his vast stylistic knowledge to this matter and, after a detailed study of the sources, separates the pupil Scheidt from his teacher Sweelinck. The Urtext edition presents the musical text in the form of a practical source edition. It guarantees authenticity, since it follows the notation in the sources as closely as possible and reproduces several characteristics of the notational practice of the time.Whoever thinks that Scheidt did not produce any keyboard works worth mentioning besides the Tabulatura nova must revise his judgment. Pieter Dirksen presents 25 pieces here.

White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band from Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece, of intermediate difficulty, which included White in the title, as this is her lucky colour. Composer Philip Sparke decided to use this suggestion to write a piece that was bright and light in terms of harmony and colour, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on pure and transparent timbres. He was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument - the piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. Also available for oboe and concert band (AMP317-010/140). Wit is de gelukskleur van het opdrachtgevende orkest van dit uitdagende solowerk voor hobo en piano. Philip Sparke schreef daarom een opgewekte compositie. Het zwaartepunt ligt op de heldere klanken van het hoge hout en de harmonie,klankkleur en instrumentatie is helder en doorzichtig.Ook verkrijgbaar voor hobo en harmonieorkest (AMP 317-010/140).Weià ƒÅ¸ ist die Glücksfarbe des auftraggebenden Blasorchesters und daher im Titel dieses Solowerks für Oboe und Klavier. Passend dazu schuf Philip Sparke ein Stück, das sowohl heiter als auch hell in seiner Harmonik, seinen Farben und seiner Orchestrierung ist, viele einfache Dur- und Mollakkorde enthält und den Schwerpunkt auf die klaren Klänge der hohen Holzbläser im Orchester legt. Ebenfalls erhältlich für Oboe und Blasorchester (AMP 317-010/140).Les indications données étaient les suivantes : une pièce modérément lente et de difficulté moyenne ; enfin, le mot ‘blanc ‘ devait figurer dans le titre, faisant ainsi allusion la couleur fétiche de l'orchestre dédicataire. C'est en s'inspirant de ces quelques éléments que Philip Sparke composa White Light, une pièce lumineuse et harmonieusement légère. De caractère pastoral et de style plutôt baroque, White Light expose avec passion la quintessence du hautbois. Disponible en version Hautbois et piano, elle existe également pour Hautbois solo et orchestre d'harmonie.In questo lavoro per oboe solista e pianoforte, Philip Sparke crea un pezzo che è allo stesso tempo allegro e luminoso nella sua armonia e nei colori, e che nell'orchestrazione contiene molti semplici accordi maggiori e minori. Disponibile anche per oboe e banda (AMP 317-010/140).

The Celle court organist Wolfgang Wessnitzer was a paragon of diligence when it came to compiling keyboard pieces. His collection, put together around 1662, is sure to impress the friends of early keyboard music and musicologists alike. It contains over 200 little pieces by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and Heinrich Scheidemann - to name but the most famous composers - and was practically unknown until now. For our first edition, Martin Bocker has selected 32 previously unpublished pieces. The Celler Clavierbuch offers an impressive panorama of the rich and vibrant music that was written for the harpsichord, the spinet, the clavichord, etc. in Northern Germany in the mid 17th century.Works by Heinrich Scheidemann - Wolfgang Wessnitzer - Johann Schop - Johann Loewe von Eisenach - Anonymi.
