Concerto no. 2 in c minor op. 18 for Piano and Orchestra. Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI. Rachmaninoff's legendary Opus 18, often lovingly referred to as Rach 2,” is for many the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto. Following its acclaimed premiere in Moscow in 1901, it proved to be a show-stopper around the globe, finally helping cement Rachmaninoff's international reputation as a composer. To this day, the concerto's enchanting themes and elegiac melodies in the strings are considered the trademark of Rachmaninoff, indeed, of Russian music in general. For the first Urtext edition of this pivotal work, we were able to examine the original autograph score in Moscow's Glinka Museum. Rachmaninoff's own sound recordings were also consulted. The newly prepared pianoreduction ensures good playability: it accords exactly with the also newly edited orchestral score and parts. Both of these are available from Breitkopf and Härtel. / Classique / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Par SAY FAZIL. This effective encore piece was written for the piano duo Lucas & Arthur Jussen. Virtuoso scales and percussive inside-piano effects put the gloomy and aggressive tonal world of the piano to the extreme for a romantic spooky scene in the night. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Par ROLLIN CATHERINE. Here is a luscious and haunting, romantic-styled original waltz which will make a lovely recital piece for 2 intermediate-level pianists. Written in the key of A-minor, the texture and rhythms are nicely varied, but not excessively complex, and the pages are nicely laid out in large, easy-to-read notation. Ms. Rollin makes good use of the arpeggio and chromaticism, and both performers are given opportunities to play the melody line and contribute other important contrasting musical elements to the performance.

Forti di una lunga esperienza, gli Autori hanno adottato ogni possibile accorgimento (numerazione delle battute, note/guida, numeri incorniciati all'inizio delle nuove frasi) per ovviare alle possibili difficoltà di chi si accosti ad una, seppur embrionale, esperienza cameristica. I 13 pezzi infantili abbracciano stili diversi che vanno dal romanticismo fino ai nostri giorni; sarà facile riconoscere i modelli ispiratori ai quali gli Autori hanno guardato con profondo rispetto: Mendelssohn, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Rota, Gershwin ecc. Naturale appare l'incontro con la fiaba, alla quale la fantasia dei piccoli interpreti si apre con una sensibilità perfino resistente alla cultura del computer: la musica, con la sua straordinaria capacità evocatrice, si offre come un'interpretazione di particolari momenti dell'opera letteraria, o come un approfondimento della stessa: non quindi semplicemente ad essa s'ispira. Particolare cura è stata posta ai testi delle fiabe, abbondantemente riportati, e agli spiritosi disegni che le illustrano. Interni a colori, Illustrazioni dell'Autrice.
