Par JOPLIN SCOTT. Scott Joplin, pianiste et compositeur de ragtime américain, est né à Texarkana (Texas) en 1868. Il apprend à jouer du piano auprès d'un musicien allemand, qui lui fait connaître la musique des grands compositeurs européens. Entre 1885 et 1893, Joplin joue dans des cabarets et des bars de St. Louis - à partir de 1894, il se produit au Maple Leaf Club à Sedalia. Il enseigne également la musique. Par la suite, il consacre tout son temps à la composition. En 1909, il déménage à New York. Joplin compose plus de 600 ragtimes, une symphonie et deux opéras (dont Treemonisha, 1911). On le surnomme 'King of Ragtime' et il est sans aucun doute l'un des maîtres de l'invention mélodique. Il meurt à New York en 1917. Le morceau mondialement célèbre The Entertainer présenté ici fut écrit en 1902 et utilisé en 1974 pour accompagner le film The Sting (L'Arnaque). / classique / Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Trio à Cordes

Variationen über die Caprice Nr. 24 im Stil des Modern Jazz. Par SAY FAZIL. The concert piece Paganini Jazz by Fazil Say, which was inspired by classical, modern and jazz styles, is reminiscent of the music of such greats as Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, Gershwin and Bernstein, and was originally designed as a charming encore work (1988); following the appreciative response of music lovers and, in particular, that of music critics, it was transformed over a perion of time into a more substantial work for piano. Briefly, the piece was rewritten and expanded a number of times between 1988 and 1995. We can evaluate the work as having taken its inspiration from Paganini's renowned '24th Capriccio', transforming it into 'variations on jazz' requiring virtuoso rendition as well as being a creation open to the addition of improvisations and a variety of arrangements. Throughout music history a number of composers have written various works inspired by the '24th Capriccio'. We can count among them Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Lutoslavski. In Say's work, however, a different aspect must be noted: the composer is prepared to add various 'developmental passages' and 'transitional improvisations' while interpreting this work in concert. Furthermore, when the work is considered as a short encore piece, it is abbreviated in a manner deemed suitable by Say. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Violon, Piano, Guitare Basse et Percussion

20 Easy to Intermediate Pieces from four Centuries. Par NEUMANN EVA-MARIA (Arr.). Making music in a quartet uniquely nurtures young string players’ musical development, ensemble playing, listening to each other, and intonation. So, what could be more obvious than introducing the scoring of this genre, often referred to as chamber music’s supreme discipline, as early as possible. Indeed, composers have all along advised the classical string quartet’s outstanding compositions, but they are hardly easy to play for beginners. Here, with the present collection, is where Eva-Maria Neumann comes in. The two volumes include A total of 20 easy to intermediate arrangements of pieces from Bach to Bartók, together with specifically composed ones in string-quartet friendly keys - Reading scores and individual parts - additionally, individual part for violin III instead of viola - Tips on warming up, intonation, bowing, fingering, tempos, dynamics, and playing musically - Specific instructions for the individual pieces - Lists of supplementary original literature The pieces are also effective as scored for chorus./ Recueil / Quatuor à Cordes
