Piano-Black & White 1 by Henrik Birk Aaboe. Black and White nr. 1 er en rigtig god klaverskole for børn og unge som lige er startet med at spille klaver eller gerne vil i gang med at spille. Det er en meget pædagogisk bog som på fornemmeste vis starter helt fra bunden med at forklare om klaveret og herefter får eleven i gang med at spille små lette melodier arrangeret for både højre og venstre hånd. Teorien bliver forklaret til hver eneste lille melodi så man hele tiden er klar over hvad man er i gang med at lære. Og omvendt får man hele tidenprøvet teorien af i praksis.  

Arrangement for Piano-Alongside his Chaconne for Violin the ten Chorale Preludes for Organ are Busoni’s best-known Piano transcriptions of works by J. S. Bach. Whilst Busoni envisaged the Chaconnefor concert performance the Chorale Preludes are transcribed in a 'chamber-music style'. The Preludes in this book are of varying levels of difficulty some are suitable for intermediate level players andothers for the more advanced pianist. This Henle Urtext Edition is Busoni's definitive version with valuable fingering suggestions by Marc-André Hamelin. The appendix contains an eleventh chorale prelude Busoni’s transcription of “Aus tiefer Not” which is published here for the very first time. With regard to performing its six-part setting the composer himself spoke of an“extreme performance limit” – but why not judge for yourself?

Twelve Astrological Preludes were written over a period of roughly two years and several were broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night as well as in other concerts. Aquarius was written in 1994 as a filler to a popular BBC solo piano series of the time called At the Piano. It was named Aquarius for programming purposes and as Elms left the studio the producer called after him 'Only eleven to go' and so Twelve Astrological Preludes came into being.The preludes which run in the usual cycle are based upon two melodic strands and there is one piece in each of the twelve major keys. The character and style of each prelude alludes to certaincharacter traits of its particular birth sign and each piece bears the initials of a friend born under that particular sign. Each prelude is prefaced by a printed description of some of the general characteristics deemed to be associated with that sign. These are of course generalisations! Some preludes show a little deference to some of my favourite 'masters'.Elms has recorded Twelve Astrological Preludes for the Herald label and they are available on the CD Moody Moves together with other pieces of his chamber music including the piano sextet from which the CD takes its name.

Par CHRISTIANSEN MIKE. Révolutionnaire est un terme qui est souvent utilisé trop de désinvolture, mais dans le cas de décrire mon livre une nouvelle méthode d'abord de guitare guitare écrit par Mike Christiansen pour les jeunes étudiants-révolutionnaire est une description exacte. Cette nouvelle méthode utilise des couleurs en reliant le placement des doigts sur les cordes à cordes, tablature et solfège. Le répertoire est amusant, excitant, et de la hanche. Tout enseignant qui se penche sur cette méthode remarquerez immédiatement l'concept innovant et séquence. Il est l'amorce parfaite pour n'importe quelle méthode de début et ouvre la voie à la manière la plus positive pour l'étude continue de l'instrument. Après avoir terminé ma première guitare livre, l'étudiant saura neuf accords et de nombreux motifs mélodiques. En outre, les étudiants seront enseignés les notes sur quatre cordes, à lire tablature et standard, ainsi que la façon de compter les rythmes de base. Mike Christiansen est l'auteur ou co-auteur de plus de quarante livres, mais c'est son premier livre pour les jeunes enfants. Christiansen a développé ce nouveau concept en donnant des cours privés à son petit-fils, Beck. En combinant le matériau à partir des leçons de Beck et ses années d'expérience de l'enseignement de cours de niveau universitaire en pédagogie de la guitare, de la naissance a été donnée à ce texte révolutionnaire. / Niveau : Débutant / Méthode / Guitare

Full score for this work for Guitar and Small Ensemble. Ruders writes: The word has its origin in ancient Greek: Psalmoidia i.e. ?singing to the harp? and we find the word again in Psalter derived from Psallein ?playing the strings with the fingers?. 'Psalmodies' written for and dedicated to David Starobin has no specific religious content or aim; the collection of eleven pieces forms a concert-suite displaying a wide range of emotions; from the jubilant to the dismal the guitar playing the natural leading part ?inside? a chorus of woodwinds and strings. The title and each movement mirrors the variety of moods from the secular feast of A Fanfare for All to the sacredintroversion of A Prayer with Halo. 'Psalmodies' opens with a guitar-solo and closes down with one: the rejoicing Entrance for One and the hushed melancholy Exit for One thus exemplifying the emotional compass which I in an essay on my first symphony; ?Himmelhoch Jauchsend-zum Tode betrübt? entitle: Of Joy and Grief. Of Worship and Oblivion.
