Der Nachfolgeband 'Flowing Piano Songs' von Theresia Prelog bietet 18 leichte bis mittelleichte, romantische Klavierstücke für Herz und Sinne. Die gefühlvollen Kompositionen eignen sich hervorragend als Ergänzung und Auflockerung zu einer klassischen Klavierschule und wenden sich an Spielerinnen und Spieler ab dem 3. und 4. Unterrichtsjahr und jeder Altersstufe. Beim Spielen von 'Flowing Piano Songs' besteht die Möglichkeit für ein paar kostbare Augenblicke alles andere hinter sich zu lassen und sich dem Dahinfließen der Musik voll und ganz hinzugeben. Körper, Geist und Seele entspannen sich und tanken neue Energie. Hinter jedem Stück steht zugleich ein bestimmter technischer und musikalischer Aspekt, der beim Spielen ganz unbewusst und mühelos geübt wird, auch wenn das klangliche Erlebnis im Vordergrund steht. Trainiert werden unter anderem die Geläufigkeit in schnellen melodischen Figuren, die Differenzierung des Anschlages zwischen Melodie und Begleitung, erste Verzierungen, das Ablösen der Hände sowie die Entwicklung des Gefühls für eine musikalische Phrase. Die Tempobezeichnungen und Metronomangaben sind lediglich Richtwerte und können nach persönlichem Geschmack angepasst werden. Die Hörbeispiele dienen als Lernhilfe und sind auch als 'Soundtrack' für unterwegs ein wahrer Genuss. Wir wünschen viele entspannende Momente mit den 'Flowing Piano Songs'.

This collection of 27 pieces, transcribed and edited by the Howells scholar Jonathan Clinch and published for the first time to coincide with Matthew Schellhorn's recording of the complete piano music by Howells for Naxos, reveals a previously neglected aspect of this celebrated English composer. The pieces chart the musical development of Howells, from his earliest known work “The Arab's Song,†written when he as 16, to the “Petrus Suite,†completed in his 80s, as well as demonstrating his fascination with French music (“Phantasy,†“Harlequin Dreamingâ€) and the Tudor period (“Pavane†and “Galliard.â€) The volume also includes the moving tribute to his friend and fellow composer Finzi. Comprising a wide array of pieces from characterful miniatures to more substantial suites, the collection will appeal to Howells devotees and lovers of 20th century English music, as well as to anyone seeking fresh and distinctive piano repertoire. Includes: The Arab's Song • To a Wild Flower • Romance • Melody • Legend • Summer Idyls: I. Meadow-Rest • II. Summer-Song • III. June-Haze • IV. Down the Hills • V. Quiet Woods • VI. Near Midnight • VII.

Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien: La Passion , and No-ja-li ou Le Palais du SilenceFrom Robert Orledge's notes:My interest in the wonderful music of Claude Debussy began in the 1980s when I researched and published a book with Cambridge University Press entitled Debussy and the Theatre. During the course of my studies in Paris, I was amazed to discover that Debussy planned over 50 theatrical works but only finished two of these entirely by himself (the opera Pelleas et Melisande in 1893-1902 and the ballet Jeux for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1912-13). Of the rest, many were never started musically (like Siddartha and Orphee-roi with the Oriental scholar Victor Segalen, 1907); some had a few tantalising sketches (like the Edgar Allan Poe opera Le Diable dans le beffroi, 1902-03); some were half-finished (like his other Poe opera La Chute de la Maison Usher, 1908-17); while others were musically complete but had their orchestrations completed by other composers (like Khamma, by Charles Koechlin, 1912-13; or Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien and La Boite a joujoux by his 'angel of corrections' ['l'ange des Corrections'] Andre Caplet in 1911 and 1919 respectively).For it has to be admitted that what some scholars call Debussy's 'compulsive achievement' could equally well be viewed as laziness, especially as far as the minute detail required for calligraphing his orchestral scores was concerned. It was as if creating the music itself was of greater importance than controlling its final sound, even if Debussy was an imaginative orchestrator when he found the time and energy to do it. It also seems true that Debussy also preferred inventing ideas to turning them into complete pieces. However, despite the lack of detail in many of his sketches (missing clefs, key signatures, dynamics, phrasing, etc.) the notes themselves are surprisingly accurate, whether or not they can be compared with a later draft. Thus, a large number of sketches exist for his Chinese ballet No-ja-li ou Le Palais du Silence and it is not too difficult to see which parts of Georges de Feure's 1913 scenario (see below) inspired which ideas. But Debussy hardly made any attempt to join them together after the first few bars.It was usually up to his publisher, Jacques Durand, to find solutions when Debussy risked a breach of contract. Debussy was supposed to supervise the orchestrations completed by others, but this supervision was usually very light and restricted to quiet, sensitive moments in which problems were easier to spot. Far from jealously guarding every one of his created notes, as Ravel did, Debussy once even went as far as to ask Koechlin to 'write a ballet for him that he would sign' on 26 March 1914 when he was hard-pressed to fulfil his lucrative contract for No-ja-li with Andre Charlot at the Alhambra Theatre in London. In the end, Debussy (through Durand) sent Charlot the symphonic suite Printemps instead, whose orchestration had been completed by Henri Busser in the Spring of 1912.So, when I was offered early retirement as Professor of Music at Liverpool University in 2004, I seized the opportunity it would give me to spend time trying to reconstruct some of Debussy's lost potential masterpieces from his existing sketches and drafts--then orchestrating them in Debussy's style when this was appropriate. I had begun this mission in 2001 with the most promising project, the missing parts of Scene 2 of La Chute de la Maison Usher and the sheer joy it gave me at every stage persuaded me to tackle other projects, especially when Debussy experts were unable to identify exactly where I took over from Debussy (and vice versa) in Usher.
