In his first book, “Hot Tea Swingâ€, the Ukrainian composer Olexandr Moyerer published 20 compositions which he composed over the course of 10 years. The titles reflect the wide range of his compositional creations, with each piece being dedicated to a specific dance and style. In “Alcodance“ you will find a Cha-Cha-Cha, in “Wooden Puppet“ a tango and in “Swinguin“ a classic swing dance. But even European styles like the waltz and the polka have not been left out. The playing instructions indicate the mood of the pieces and indicate opportunities for interpretation: the waltzes should be played thoughtfully or tenderly; the swing pieces should be interpreted slowly. In contrast, the Latin American pieces offer a challenge in terms of the rhythm. Each piece must be discovered and worked on by the pianist in their own particular way. This collection is suited to advanced pianists who are looking for new material for concerts or competitions. On the CD (AMA-No. 626671) you will find all pieces recorded by the composer to give an idea of how they could sound. Der aus der Ukraine stammende Komponist Olexandr Moyerer hat in seinem ersten Buch „Hot Tea Swing“ 20 Kompositionen veröffentlicht, die er innerhalb von 10 Jahren komponiert hat. Die Titel geben eine Bandbreite seines kompositorischen Schaffens wieder und jedes Stück ist einem bestimmten Tanz und einer besonderen Stilrichtung gewidmet. So findet sich im „Alcodance“ ein Cha-Cha-Cha, die „Holzpuppe“ tanzt Tango und im „Swinguin“ hat er einen klassischen Swing vertont. Aber auch die europäischen Stile wie Walzer und Polka kommen nicht zu kurz. Die Spielanweisungen geben Rückschlüsse auf die Stimmung der Stücke und die Interpretationsmöglichkeiten: so sollen die Walzer nachdenklich oder mit Zärtlichkeit gespielt werden, die Swing-Stücke sollen sehr langsam interpretiert werden. Dafür stellen die Lateinamerikanischen Stücke ihre Herausforderung auf der rhythmischen Ebene dar. Jedes Stück muss vom Pianisten auf seine spezielle Art und Weise entdeckt und erarbeitet werden. Die Sammlung empfiehlt sich für fortgeschrittene Klavierspieler, die nach neuem Spielmaterial für Vorspiele und Wettbewerbe suchen. Auf einer separaten Audio-CD (AMA-Nr. 626671) sind die Stücke alle vom Komponisten eingespielt und geben einen Höreindruck wieder.
