This cello sonata by the renowned jazz pianist and professor of jazz piano unites in a certain way “the best of two worldsâ€: melodies, sophisticated harmonies and rousing rhythms, which are also convincing in a pure jazz context, are fused here with a formal language and movement techniques that are oriented towards classical models. The voices of both instruments are interwoven on an equal footing and take the listener on an exciting musical journey from the very first moment, which finds its virtuoso climax in the lively rondo via a classical sonata main movement and a quiet middle movement.

The melodies from George Gershwin's (1898-1937) musicals, from 'Porgy and Bess', from orchestral pieces like 'Rhapsody in Blue' or 'An American in Paris', we all know them! But the career of the young musician started as a pianist in a music publishing house where he was to encourage customers to buy music by playing it. Soon he began to compose music himself and caught the attention of the Broadway, which paved the way to his international career. Inspired by Frederic Chopin's 24 Preludes, he began to write his own 'Preludes' for the piano in the mid-1920s: Of the five preludes composed by him, he used two for the violin composition 'Short Story' and presented the other three at a concert on 4 December 1926. These 'Preludes' combine classical moments and jazz elements into an effective whole and can be played individually or as a little jazz sonata (fast - slow - fast). Thanks to the present arrangement, the charming miniatures are now available in a version for solo instrument and piano accompaniment.

Amantis zweite Jazz-Sonate zeigt eine moderne Seele in Sonatenhauptsatzform: Eckuinox beginnt mit einer schnellen Kadenz des Solocellos und geht uber in einen groovigen Ritt bis zum Ende. Rhythmische und 'kantable' Teile sind in der Klavier- und Cellostimme zu identifizieren, die wiederholten Elemente zu variieren und dabei mit verschiedenen Strichen und Akzenten zu experimentieren. Pulcinellas Geheimnis ist ein Tango, der auf dem Pergolesi/Strawinsky-Thema beruht, das mit dem bekanntesten Charakter der neapolitanischen Volkstradition verbunden ist. Das Thema ist die ganze Zeit uber verborgen, bis zu dem Moment im 3/4-Takt, wo es dann tatsachlich neu harmonisiert zum Vorschein kommt. Dawn - Dammerung ist der Soundtrack zum Neuanfang. Ceci n'est pas une fugue - Dies ist keine Fuge beinhaltet eine (Art) Doppelfuge uber einen Blues und das beruhmte 'konigliche Thema', inspiriert von der Entstehungsgeschichte des Musikalischen Opfers von J.S. Bach.

“Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) was a prolific Czech composer, writing many large scale works. The composer moved to Paris in 1923 where he began experimenting in a variety of composition styles. Pastorales for Cello and Piano was published in 1931 and is made up of six pieces. Martinu himself was a violinist and the beginning of his experiments in composing for solo instruments saw him write for strings. Pastorales for Cello exemplifies the composer's influence of Stravinsky, Debussy neoclassicism, surrealism and jazz. The piece is excitingly virtuosic in its use of double stops, complex rhythms, chromaticism, and ensemble between the Cello and Piano. As a varied, substantial work for the Cello repertoire, Martinu's Pastorales is essential for the advanced performer.â€.
