Tribute to a Maestro is an homage to Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), one of the most important French Baroque composers. Rameau was a hugely significant composer, organist, harpsichordist and music teacher: he also published several authoritative books on music theory. Jan de Haan based this tribute on a theme from ‘Les Sauvages’ (The Savages), the fourth act of Rameau’s ballet-opera, Les Indes Galantes (The Amorous Indies). The work begins with two variations, whereupon the striking theme can be heard. After a short intermezzo, four more variations follow, of which the last one is composed in Baroque style. Tribute to a Maestro is een hommage aan Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), een van de belangrijkste componisten uit de barok. Deze Fransman was niet alleen componist, organist, klavecinist en muziekpedagoog, maar ook muziektheoreticus. Hij publiceerde verschillende toonaangevende boeken over muziektheorie. Jan de Haan baseerde dit eerbetoon op een thema uit het oeuvre van Rameau, namelijk ‘Les Sauvages’ (De wilden) uit de vierde akte van een van Rameaus balletopera’s, Les Indes Galantes (De hoffelijke Indiërs). Het werk begint met twee variaties, waarna het markante thema is te beluisteren. Na een kort intermezzo volgen dan nog vier variaties, waarvan delaatste in barokstijl is gecomponeerd. Tribute to a Maestro ist eine Hommage an Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), einen der bedeutendsten Komponisten der Barockzeit. Der Franzose war nicht nur Komponist, Organist, Cembalist und Musiklehrer, sondern auch Musiktheoretiker. Er veröffentlichte einige grundlegende musiktheoretische Bücher. Jan de Haan stützte seine Huldigung auf ein Thema aus Rameaus Werk, nämlich Les Sauvages“ (Die Wilden“) aus dem vierten Akt von Rameaus Ballettoper Les Indes galantes. Das Stück beginnt mit zwei Variationen, woraufhin das bemerkenswerte Thema erklingt. Nach einem kurzen Intermezzo folgen vier weitere Variationen, von denen die letzte im Barockstilkomponiert ist. Tribute to a Maestro est un hommage Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764), l’un des plus importants compositeurs du baroque. Ce Français était non seulement un compositeur, organiste, claveciniste et enseignant de musique, mais aussi un théoricien de la musique. Ses nombreuses publications font autorité en théorie musicale. A la base de cet hommage de Jan de Haan est un thème de l’œuvre de Rameau, notamment « Les Sauvages » du quatrième acte de l’un de ses opéra-ballets, Les Indes Galantes. L’œuvre commence par deux variations la suite desquels on entend le thème saisissant. Après un court intermezzo, quatre autres variations s’ensuivent, dont la dernière estcomposée dans le style baroque.

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.

Telemann's Bourrée fits perfectly with Rameau's Rondino to form a lovely medley. Each movement can also stand on its own. Plenty of teaching opportunities for your beginning orchestra.

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 extant, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) is the second great keyboard master of the Baroque Age next to Couperin. His works are as unknown to pianists, with few exceptions, as they are famous among harpsichord players. The virtuosity and imaginativeness of his works lend themselves especially well to the sound of 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 harpsichord and clavichord, and no one would dare question their interpretation on the pianoforte. In order to introduce these Impressionists of the Baroque Era to piano instructions, the editor has added to this series a folio of both Couperin's (EB 8029) and Rameau's music. The selection of the pieces is based on two criteria: 1. relatively modest demands made on technique, 2. various musical forms of expression. Baroque dance forms and graceful character pieces (LaJoyeuse, L'Indifferente) are typical ofRameau's work. Simplifications to a small extent of the harpsichord setting and also of the omamentation in the original version were required, based on the teaching experience of the editor. The indications for phrasing and articulation are those of the editor. The Minuet on page 6 has 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 espective footnotes; these directions, however, are not obligatory. Indications pertaining to dynamics and tempo have been omitted completely; the clearly recognizable character of the individual pieces should be direction enough.

Roughly half of this selection of transcriptions of Baroque vocal and instrumental works consists of well-known pieces by the greatest composers of the period (Purcell: Dido and Aeneas, Rameau: Piéces de clavecin, Händel: Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, J.S. Bach: B major partita, C major orchestral suite), but works by composers less well known nowadays (for example, G. Böhm and J. C. F. Fischer) are also included, together with unusual items such as Polish, German and Hungarian dances from 17th- and18th-century Hungarian manuscripts: the Kájoni and Vietórisz codexes, and Eleonóra Lányi's music book. This volume, previously available in the Leggiero series, is now, in a new guise, part of the series Treasury for String Ensembles. Treasury for String Ensembles provides carefully selected original compositions and arrangements from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, compiled in volumes according to level of difficulty, from beginner's level to professional. Elementary (all in first position): typically for three violins and cello or children's string orchestra. Intermediate: typically for three violins and cello or string quartet or youth string orchestra. Advanced: typically for string quartet or string quintet (with double bass) or string orchestra. The volumes are published in both printed and digital form. The printed edition contains the score and one copy of each part. Further copies can be ordered for the purposes of orchestral performance. The digital edition can be viewed on screen, and the parts can also be downloaded as A4-sized PDF files. The digital edition comes free with the printed edition, using the unique code provided.
