Debussy - Preludes Book 2

This collection of pieces marked a turning point in Debussy's approach to his piano compositions they challenge the potential of the instrument and exemplify his expressive sweeping style. These pieces express a vast new repertoire of emotional states and embody Debussy's beautiful and colourful use of harmony and his rich style and enchanting grace. Suitable for intermediate pianist and upwards. Edited by Maurice Hinson.

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was a French composer who is often associated with the early Impressionist movement. He is best known for his evocative Piano compositions from which these Two Pieces For ClarinetAnd Piano have been transcribed. The Golliwog’s Cakewalk is taken from a suite of works inspired by Debussy’s daughter and her toys. The cakewalk was a popular dance in the 1890’s and 1900’s andis reflected in the syncopated ragtime style.The Girl With Flaxen Hair is taken from Debussy’s first book of preludes. Its title character is inspired by a poem about a Scottish maiden who is supposed tosymbolise tranquillity and simplicity aspects which are reflected in both the melody and harmony.

For clarinet and piano. In February 1909 Debussy was elected a member of the Conseil Superieur of the Paris Conservatoire and in this capacity was called on to serve on the jury at internal competitions. He wasinvited to write two test pieces for the 1910 clarinet contest; one for the interpretation class the other for the sight reading test. The Premiere Rhapsodie was composed during December 1909 and January 1910 concurrentlywith work on the first book of Preludes for piano.

Par GARDNER JEFF. Nous savons que Debussy, quand on lui demandait quel système harmonique il suivait pour créer ses oeuvres, répondait : 'Mon bon plaisir'. Les pièces de ce recueil sont basées sur une libre variation de motifs. Si certaines des techniques utilisées - renversement, rétrogradation, renversement rétrograde - sont associées à la musique sérielle ou dodécaphonique, ces pièces ne sont absolument pas sérielles dans un sens strict. Elles ne sont pas non plus tonales ou atonales. J'ai cherché un langage qui naît de la liberté d'expression, plutôt que de la contrainte de règles et de paramètres d'écriture. Certaines pièces sont un écho rythmique au jazz ou au blues, d'autres une couleur de 20e siècle contemporain / classique (mais qu'est-ce que le contemporain ? Quelle année ? Pour qui ?). Tempo, dynamique, articulation sont laissés à la libre appréciation de l'interprète. J'espère que ces jeux, ces voyages musicaux vous conduiront vers des terres inconnues. Jeff Gardner Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro Novembre 2009 Je prends un très grand plaisir à jouer avec ces tournures mélodiques en forme d'études ! La grande liberté 'd'habillage' qu'elles suscitent : dynamique et traitement du son, articulation et phrasé, ornementation... construit autant la maîtrise instrumentale que la créativité musicale. A l'instar des Suites ou Partite de J.S. Bach, des Fantaisies de Telemann ou des improvisations inspirées de Steve Lacy, elles peuvent donner des ailes à l'apprenti improvisateur qui les fera 'tourner' dans ses doigts et dans sa mémoire. La fantaisie ainsi éveillée révèlera alors à chacun ses propres créations mélodiques ! Claude Delangle Natif de New York, Jeff Gardner a étudié le piano classique avec Ruth Shontal et Ivan Tcherepnin, le piano jazz avec Hall Overton, Jaki Byard, John Lewis, Don Friedman, et Charles Banacos, et l'harmonie avec Nadia Boulanger. II enchaîne tournées et festivals avec des artistes tels que Kenny Wheeler, Nelson Veras, Norma Winstone, Steve Lacy, Freddie Hubbard, Paulo Moura, Eddie Harris, Gary Peacock, Bob Sheppard, Toninho Horta, Ndugu Chancler, Ran McClure, Lars Daniellson, André Ceccarelli, Hein van de Geyn, Alfredo Rodriguez, Marcia Maria, Karim Ziad, Flavio Boltro, Charlie Mariano, et le quatuor de pianos avec Jaki Byard, Martial Solal, et Paul Bley. Jeff a un total de seize CD's en tant que leader. Citons Continuum, avec Eddie Gomez et Bill Hart, Noches Habaneras, enregistré à La Havane avec Miguel 'Anga' Diaz, Julio Barreto, Felipe Cabrera, Orlando 'Maraca' Valle, et Diego Valdes, The Music of Chance, inspiré par les écrits de Paul Auster avec comme invités Rick Margitza et Ingrid Jensen, Alchemy, en duo avec Gary Peacock, Street Angels, Sky Dance avec Gilberto Gil, et Abraços avec Carlos Balla et Alberto Continentino (Terramar), tous les trois enregistrés à Rio.
