In 1725, J.S. Bach gave his second wife, Anna Magdalena, a Notenbüchlein - a collection of solo keyboard pieces and arias. Most of the keyboard pieces were composed by friends, colleagues, and his son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The easier keyboard works were probably used to instruct their children, while the arias would have been performed by Anna Magdalena, who was a singer. For this edition, Edwin McLean has chosen and expertly edited the most popular and easier keyboard pieces. Originally, the pieces contained no dynamics and virtually no phrasing, which is typical of baroque harpsichord music and even early 18th-century fortepiano music. Sectional dynamics have been added editorially and may be changed at the discretion of the performer. A minimal amount of phrasing and articulation has also been added for clarity. This edition preserves the original notation for appoggiaturas, where small eighth or quarter notes resolve to the principal note. Ossias have been included to show how to play them; ossias also appear when needed for ornaments such as trills and mordents.

A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom's Dance (2011) is a fine example of Holmes work from her career as a composer and educator in New Zealand for over 25 years. Holmes was inspired to depict the character Bottom from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in writing this lighthearted work. It is highly engaging and energetic with elements of minimalist techniques of layered melodic ostinati, and jazz-influenced and non-tonal harmony. Like the character and scene from Shakespeare's play, the music oscillates between moments of poignancy and boisterous self-confidence. It incorporates a variety of accented rhythmic patterns, changing metres and delicate melodic material, which gives pianists an opportunity to demonstrate their individual and combined talents as a chamber ensembles. It is suitable for performance by secondary students of approximately Grade VIII and above (ABRSM / Trinity).It is now available for purchase as a study score and/or performance set (parts only). This listing is the performance set of parts only.

For Piano.
By Vladimir Nikolov

Flashes is a collection of twelve miniature pieces for solo piano, composed in several stages over a long period of time.

Each one of these pieces illustrates an independent story and mood and is written with a different approach to the piano. All of the stories are products of instant moments of creativity that gradually became depictions of everyday life events, places and revelations that occurred during the process of writing. Many times this process became the story itself, thus the source of light evolved into its own reflection.

Styles vary from classical, post-impressionist to jazz and minimal through organic compositional structure.

Titles Include:
First Etude for Piano
Sun - trine - Moon
Last Etude for Piano
Distance
Bit Bang
Wednesday Afternoon
Game
Skopje
Reflection...(on Caress)
Prelude to Still Life
The Third Day
'Round Midday.
