In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War, commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel?s most thrilling compositions and, for Wittgenstein, the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career. The piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel?s and Wittgenstein?s fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering, thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.

Grundlegende Technik spielend lernen!. Par BERG ANDREA. Supposedly rudiments are the basis for playing the drums at all . . . . but for students who are not so advanced, it’s an absolute mystery why they have to struggle with these boring technical exercises when all they really want to do is just play. Thisbook can be introduced early in the instructional process or used supplementarily if youre learning on your own. As soon as the first contact with notation has been made and youre playing your first grooves, you can then have fun jumping into theworld of rudiments. To this end, this book is separated into two Tours. Tour 1 contains simple exercises for the beginner, Tour 2 is directed at the advanced student who extensively knows and plays the rudiments. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / All Styles - Technic / Recueil / Batterie et Percussions

In 1790, during the lifetime of Mozart and Haydn, Ernst Ludwig Gerber wrote of Ko?eluch in his famous handbook for musicians, 'without opposition, by young and old, (?) generally the best-loved composer alive today?. His works display 'liveliness and grace, the noblest of melodies with the purest of harmonies, and a pleasing organisation of rhythm and modulation.?

Par KRAUS JOSEPH MARTIN. The first volume of the new scholarly edition contains the complete chamber music without a keyboard instrument. The most important group of works comprises the string quartets, 10 of which have survived. They were composed during the 1770s, whenHaydn was developing this class of music. The differing balance between such contrasting musical elements as entries in imitation, courtly melody, swift changes of tempo and unexpected modulations gives each of the quartets its special charm. Thefact that six of them were published in 1784 as Krauss 'Opus 1' by the publisher J. J. Hummel shows that the composer himself was convinced by his quartets. With the Flute quintet this volume alsocontains another key work in Kraus’s chamber music. Composed in Vienna about 1783 and also issued in manuscript copies, this work was printed by Ignaz Pleyel in Paris in 1799./ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre
