Mazurka

Ce nouveau volume rassemble 57 mazurkas et 16 polonaises, qui font partie des standards du repertoire du 19ème siècle à un prix défiant toute concurrence. Chopin était le maitre dans la composition de ces morceaux dont l'origine vient des danses folkloriques polonaises et dont le rythme est en 3/4. / Classique / Partition /

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Dvorák’s Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylised composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvorák’s Slavonic Dances that they made a real musician’s heart laugh within him; the comment might equally well be applied to these pieces. These “Waltzes and Mazurkas” rank alongside the works of Chopin in terms of artistic merit, yet they are not widely known and have not hitherto been heard as often in concert halls as they deserve. The Urtext version of these dances is published for the first time in this edition./ Répertoire / Piano

French composer Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the wind repertoire. Mazurka for Alto Saxophone and Piano was published in 1961 and remains prominent in the instrument's repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Mazurka an homage to Chopin reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics with a typical performance lasting about four minutes. Mazurka is essential to the advanced Alto Saxophone repertoire as Dubois' work makes for an exciting varied and enjoyable performance for playersand audiences alike.

The Mazurka is a traditional Polish dance in triple time featuring a dotted rhythm and a certain accentuation on the second beat. Originating in Mazovia near Warsaw the Mazurka's popularity was established by Chopin who wrote fifty or so for piano from 1830-49. These examples show his wide-ranging orginality in this most elegant and aristocratic of dance forms. 'These lively and fun short dances are of intermediate difficulty and are ideal for introducing the budding young artist to a virtuosic approach to interpretation. Good value for money.' Music Teacher Magazine.Grade: 5-6

Chopin wrote many Mazurkas. The Mazurka In D is one of the lesser-known examples.The Contredanse is written in the little-used key of G Flat Major. There remains controversy asto whether it was actually written by Chopin or not. If it was it was probably written c.1827 but it was never published during his lifetime. Frédéric Chopin (1710-1849) was a Polish composer andvirtuoso pianist whose compositional career was spent mostly in Paris. He only wrote music for the Piano and is best known today for his 12 Etudes and 24 Preludes a key part of any pianist?s repertoire.
