Par JANACEK LEOS. This Urtext edition of Janácek's works includes lesser-known piano pieces and miniatures from his late years.

The editor Ondrej Pivoda, the curator of the Moravian State Museum in Brno, has taken the autograph manuscripts as his principal sources while consulting other accessible sources, such as historical editions and copyist's manuscripts. This series of piano miniatures appears for the first time in a scholarly-critical edition./ Répertoire / Piano

9 Popular Arrangements for Piano solo. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN / ARR JEAN KLEEB. Beethoven often incorporated musical influences from other countries in his works. Jean Kleeb has picked up on this idea and developed it further in these arrangements for piano solo. In his tributes to Beethoven he emphasizes ethnic attributes such as 'alla turca” or he coaxes exotic rhythms out of certain works with playful exaggeration. At other times, he simply enjoys demonstrating the stark differences between the 'classical” piano piece and world music. Enjoy pieces in samba style, with Cuban rhythms or jazzy-Arabic-like scales. These pieces are fun to play, making Jean Kleeb's 'Beethoven Around the World” a true musical pleasure. About the composer: When it comes to music, Jean Kleeb is a globetrotter. A Brazilian of Swiss descent, he has been living in Germany for many years. Travelling the world with his music, he is always seeking new sources of musical inspiration. As a composer, pianist, choral conductor and lecturer, he regularly amazes and entertains his audiences with his boundless musicality and compositional ease. / Date parution : 2019-06-14/ Répertoire / Piano

Par HAHN REYNALDO. Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn was best known for his contributions to the French Melodie, however his other works have never gone amiss. His Le Rossignol Eperdu Poèmes for Piano represents the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his instrumental compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Suitable advanced pianists, the first volume of Hahn 's Le Rossignol Eperdu Poèmes provides pleasant and evocative performance pieces, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features./ Répertoire / Piano

for piano. Par KOECHLIN CHARLES. This first print is a rarity: the highly virtuoso, evocative 'Nocturne' owes its creation to an instrument that has only survived as a museum piece. Gustave Lyon, the director of the French instrument maker Pleyel, commissioned Charles Koechlin as well as several other French composers (such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel) to write works for the 'harpe chromatique' developed by him around 1900. In contrast to the common pedal harp, the chromatic harp allows for an unlimited modulatory range. Nevertheless, the instrument did not gain much acceptance and remained exotic. Koechlin was aware of the difficulty of introducing and establishing new instruments. He therefore, from the very beginning, had the piano as an alternative of equal value in mind when writing his Nocturne./ Répertoire / Piano

With his sonatas op. 31 composed in 1802 Beethoven for the last time grouped together piano sonatas under one opus number. The centrepiece of the collection is undoubtedly the dramatic Sonata in D minor nicknamed 'Tempest' which already fascinated his contemporaries. According to Anton Schindler, who asked the composer about the 'key' to this work as well as to the sonata op. 57 ('Appassionata'), Beethoven advised him: 'Just read Shakespeares Tempest'. Jonathan Del Mar, currently one of the most renowned Beethoven scholars, stands for a meticulously edited Urtext edition on the basis of an intensive study of all sources. Performers are presented with a musical text offering new readings and based on the latest research findings. The detailed Critical Commentary accounts for sources, readings and editorial emendations. In this edition great care has been given to a user-friendly layout which on the one hand reflects the flow and tempo of the music and on the other hand facilitates the study of this complex music by means of a transparent and clear appearance on the page as well as good page turns. Particularly enlightening is the chapter on period performance practice which sheds light on certain issues of Beethovens instruments and their range, the usage of the pedals, tempo, dynamics, articulation and ornaments. / Piano

Par HENRY VIII. Thirty-Five Compositions By King Henry VIII is a unique collection, containing King Henry VIII’s complete secular works. These works consist of part-songs and instrumental consorts, and have been transcribed and edited by John Stevens. The collection is a mixture of instrumental pieces and pieces for vocal ensemble, mostly in three parts, with about half-a-dozen in four. Seventeen of the pieces are instrumental, though it is perfectly possible (and historically accurate) to play the vocal pieces on instruments if preferred. In the instrumental pieces no instruments are stipulated. The top staff is treble, the second is written in the trebleclef but sounds an octave lower, as for vocal tenor, and the lowest line is a for a bass clef melody instrument. Either flute or recorder would work well for the top line in most of these pieces, which usually go no lower than around middle C. The bassoon could play either the second or third line. And the line left over could be played on keyboard. This is not harmonic music however. There are no chords, nor would it be easy of idiomatic for the keyboard player to vamp or otherwise extemporise harmonies. The pieces are printed in score, so two players might share one copy, but two copies would be ideal if the keyboard player is also taking part, and three of course if the players want to practise separately./ Recueil / Piano

Book 2. Par SMITH RICHARD. Richard Smith 's My Piano, My Body And Me - Book 2 develops the holistic approach to technique, musicianship and interpretation adopted in the first publication. This book is suitable for students at an intermediate level and covers music from different periods. It charts the Piano's development, showing how the larger instruments that emerged at the end of the 19th century made different physical and mental demands on performers. Pianists today are playing very different instruments to their predecessors. This demands close consideration when performing music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and 20thcentury.Why should I approach Baroque music differently to that written in the Romantic period? What is direct pedalling....and finger pedalling? How do I play and count unusual time signatures? These are all questions that My Piano, My Body And Me - Book 2 will answer. This book is equally instructive and illuminating as its predecessor and contains another selection of inspiring, imaginative pieces specifically written to practise particular skills and techniques - e.g. grace notes ('Kestrel'), the una corda pedal ('Serenity'), compound time ('Loving Living') and unusual time signatures ('All in Good Time'). / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Pédagogie / Etude / Piano

Par ROLLIN CATHERINE. Preludes for Piano, Book One, contains 7 intermediate piano pieces in lyrical style. Each piece is expressive and develops the art of lyrical playing.
