Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1021041 Composed by Scott Markle. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional. Score. 3 pages. MarcoPolo Press #5733669. Published by MarcoPolo Press (A0.1021041). Dolor (Parting's Sorrow) is an early intermediate piece, a little over 3 minutes long, that is written for piano solo. In it's simplicity, it is the melody that reawakened my drive to compose after years of silence. So it is part of a piano solo album called Reawakening. Pay attention to the rise and fall (swell) in each slur. The sustain pedal is used for each entire bar, but it is important to lift and press after the first note is played in each bar. It should be played gently, even in the forte sections, and expressively. .

Published by Piano Prodigies (A0.941671). Consciousness expresses the state of being awake and aware. Though this piece never reaches a forte dynamic, the performer can work on conveying a sense of calm energy-like that of being conscious-within a piano dynamic. A flowing introduction evolves into a more urgent, syncopated second section, and then returns to the initial material.

Published by Monica Bergo (A0.976842). 2017 Holiday Contest Entry L’AMORE STERILE Eravamo così giovani Senza niente per cui vivere Strade vuote e senza fine Lì ,davanti a noi Se mi chiedevano :cosa farai da grande? Mi mettevo a ridere Perché era già una gran fortuna sopravvivere Gli anni davanti a me, un’agonia terribile Tu che mi dicevi :Sai, andrebbe meglio se c’è lei E piano piano si insinuò nei giorni miei Ed era sempre lì A consolare ed asciugare le mie lacrime Con i suoi brividi lei mi faceva credere Di essere unica e speciale Così forte e eccezionale senza mai capire che L’amore sterile che ci avvolgeva tutti quanti in caldi bozzoli per trasformarci poi in farfalle senza scrupoli ma quanto vive una farfalla, solo un giorno e morirà L’amore sterile Non mi abbandona neanche oggi che son libera Da quelle tue catene che ora più non stridono Rimane il senso di oppressione invisibile prigione intorno a me Ogni giorno ti cercavo Ogni notte ti sognavo Eri antidoto e veleno dentro me Le tue finte sensazioni quelle astratte percezioni non capisco più se amo lei o te La notte insieme a te, io mi agitavo in preda a incubi terribili Ma senza te le ore sono interminabili L’amore sterile che inghiotte, ti fagocita e ti abbatte Prenditi l’anima E in cambio lasci cicatrici incancellabili Come tatuaggi , che rimangono indelebili L’amore sterile mi copre come polvere Niente più da poter perdere Nulla più da poter vendere Hai riempito con il vuoto il mondo mio Porte chiuse e solitudine Più nessuno a cui rivolgersi Ti amo ancora eppure voglio smettere L’amore sterile Mi porta a vivere in bilico su un baratro Come funambolo, costantemente in bilico Non c’è un inizio, né una fine Io che ripeto tutto bene Perché fingo anche con me No, non sono ormai più giovane No, non credo più alle favole So abbracciarmi anche da sola E così continuerò…………..

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.672443 By Ludwig van Beethoven. By T H AN. Arranged by T H AN. Classical. Score. 5 pages. An #281395. Published by An (A0.672443). The first Movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The first movement, in C♯ minor, is written in an approximate truncated sonata form. The movement opens with an octave in the left hand and a triplet figuration in the right. A melody that Hector Berlioz called a lamentation, mostly by the right hand, is played against an accompanying ostinato triplet rhythm, simultaneously played by the right hand. The movement is played pianissimo or very quietly, and the loudest it gets is mezzo forte or moderately loud. The adagio sostenuto has made a powerful impression on many listeners; for instance, Berlioz said of it that it is one of those poems that human language does not know how to qualify. Beethoven's student Carl Czerny called it a nocturnal scene, in which a mournful ghostly voice sounds from the distance. The movement was very popular in Beethoven's day, to the point of exasperating the composer himself, who remarked to Czerny, Surely I've written better things..

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.575315 By Bryon Tosoff. By Bryon Tosoff. Arranged by Bryon Tosoff. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. 4 pages. Bryon tosoff #184668. Published by bryon tosoff (A0.575315). The song, Darkness to Light has a variety of elements to be aware of. One can think of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven as a comparison for the variety of dynamics and expressive qualities involved. The introduction is to be tempered with a light touch and feel with accents as what the performer feels is necessary to capture the mood and attitude there. The song begins with a free flowing broken triad and rich bass which has a essence of a darkness of mood which develops and builds the expressive qualities as indicated and transitions in the second movement and has a nice singing melody that portrays a glimmer of hope and freedom from the sometimes challenging trials of life. There is a very bombastic section in the third movement in a forte mode that beacons the breaking free of the things that can limit our human potential such as self doubt and lack of self confidence.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1458772 Composed by Greg Woodward. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,New Age,Sacred. Score. 3 pages. Greg Woodward #1037706. Published by Greg Woodward (A0.1458772). In Dreams is a gentle, contemplative piece based on a harmonically ambiguous arepeggiated ten-note figure in the right-hand which moves in and out of phase with the meter of the left hand part (largely 3/4). It builds to a warm forte section about two-thirds of the way through before dying away to nothing as the right-hand figure gradually evaporates. It isn't technically very difficult but keeping the more melodic left-hand part expressive whilst keeping the right-hand part dispassionate and cold is a good challenge for a more advanced student.Thanks to local Tasmanian pianist Karen Smithies for her beautiful rendition of the piece.Visit my YouTube page for more performances, arrangements and compositions.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.933520 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, Cees Nieuwenhuizen. Classical. Score. 48 pages. Upstream Music #482215. Published by Upstream Music (A0.933520). There are many more unfinished than completed compositions of Beethoven that have been preserved. ln these fragments one sees ideas for individual works. A large number of sketchbooks and sketches from the composer were preserved and are housed in libraries and private collections all over the globe. Some sketches are no more than brief experiments or short elaborated ideas, but there are also fragments preserved that nearly give us a complete picture of a composition. In the so-called Kafka sketchbook, which was published in 1970 in London, approximately 500 fragments of manuscripts were bundled that stem from 1786 - 1799. The Fantasia Sonata in D (deest 45) for piano forte in three parts, was hidden in the archives since 1792. This sonata of the young Beethoven, with striking similarities to the Moonlight sonata and the Pastorale has never been performed on stage. Young pianotalent Martin Oei played it for the first time in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, October 21st, 2012. The large, over 1100 bars comprising torso now known as Fantasia Sonata in D from 1792, cannot be called a sketch anymore, although Beethoven has not completed the work and used many ideas in other, later works. The reconstruction of the sketches was done by the Dutch Beethoven musicologist and composer Cees Nieuwenhuizen. The piece was probably written in Bonn, three years before he started to write his first official piano sonata of a series of 32 sonatas. In November 1792 Beethoven went from Bonn to Vienna to study with the famous composer Joseph Haydn (1732–1809). Beethoven rapidly proceeded to make his mark as a brilliant keyboard performer and as a gifted young composer with a number of works to his credit. In 1795 his first mature published works appeared, and his career was officially launched. Striking harmonies The re-using of previously drafted material is quite common in Beethoven's works. Apparently the material wasn't yet ripe enough at the time of its origination, or perhaps Beethoven changed his mind with regards to the new composition. This could very well be so regarding the torso from Kafka’s sketchbook that we now call the Piano Fantasia sonata in D. This piece contains 1100 bars of music, not taking into account the alternative bars. The piece is composed by Beethoven in 1792 - 1793 and was set up as a tripartite sonata in D with remarkable abnormalities in terms of form and content. There are striking harmonies that cannot be found in other works composed in that same period. It’s possible that the composer didn’t have the courage to publish it or that indeed the time was not yet ripe for it. Finally the composer let the draft go and never came back to it. Or did he? Thematic similarities We find phrases in several later works that share similarities with ideas and themes from Fantasia sonata in D. The first part of Fantasia sonata has the same theme as the trio of the third movement of Symphony no. 7 (in A Major Opus 92). Even the key and also the rhythm in 3/4 time are the same. This cannot be a coincidence. Similar mood and thematic parallels can be found in the Pastorale, the Sonata for piano no. 15 (Opus 28): it is striking that this piece is also composed in D and in 3/4 time. We find similar dramatic expression in the Sonata for piano no. I 7 in d minor Opus 31 no. 2. The second movement of the Fantasia sonata nearly has the same theme as the second movement of the Sonata for piano no. 23 in minor (the Appassionato Opus 57). Martin Oei, Daiel Wayenberg, Cees Nieuwenhuizen at The World Premiere in The Concertgebouw Beethoven begins the third movement of the Fantasia sonata with the main theme of the first movement, but now in e minor. lts appearance in minor is an entirely new idea. Nevertheless Beethoven doesn't elaborate the idea any further because it disappears after 29 bars. Now a new agitated theme starts in d minor, which was announced in the first movement, but now reappears in its complete.

Colores de un otoño incipiente -- Colors of an incipient autumn seven somewhat abstract pieces for piano Recording of Colores de un otoño incipiente - piano in several platforms Colores de un otoño incipiente -- on Spotify In this work, an idea that has haunted me for a long time crystallizes: that the titles of the individual pieces are read like lines of a poem. Colores de un otoño incipiente Declina el dÃa. Cobriza de hojarasca, la tierra aguarda. Inocencia Apergaminada por las largas vigilias. Frugal ante la desmesura, Se resignó a lo inconcluso Y dejó un hueco de luz en esta nada. Colors of an incipient autumn The day declines. Coppery with old leaves, the earth awaits. Innocence Parched by the long vigils. Frugal in the face of excess, He resigned himself to the unfinished And he left a hole of light in this nothingness. Such a poem alludes without great subtlety to decadence and aging. The title Apergaminada por las largas vigilias is taken from a poem by Pedro Lastra. Y dejó un hueco de luz en esta nada comes from a micropoem attributed to Alejandro Güerri, written in memory of Javier Adúriz. This seventh piece, transparent and delicate, pictures a being definitively transformed into light. The idea of desmesura (excess) arises from the prologue by Javier Adúriz to his book Solos de conciencia (1985): Faced with the excess of death, consciousness perceives the weakness of its willful affirmation, the one for which it feels itself unique and safe from all decrepitude. Adúriz was one of the fundamental figures in my artistic training. And apparently he still is. Musically, this cycle of works abounds in harmony of chords by fourths in a minimalist neoclassical aesthetic. The way of working texturally with the piano as an instrument - my instrument - highlights the pedal, the resonances, the third dimension of sound. These seven somewhat abstract pieces were composed at the end of 2019 in and around Bremen, in several cases with my new-born daughter Laura in my arms, trying to put her at to sleep and staying asleep. This explains the cautious nature of the music and its prudent dynamics that never reach a mezzoforte. There were several unsuccessful attempts to release this recording (initially planned for September 2020, at the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere). Finally, the album will be released (on Spotify and other streaming platforms) on 22 April 2022, coinciding with what would be my father's 103rd birthday. It is also autumn but in the southern hemisphere. Recorded on a Steinway B grand piano (serial number: 568208) at the Musikschule Bremen (Germany) with two Neumann KM-184 microphones. Recording and mastering technician: Alexander Derben. For the artwork, the impressive photographer and visual storyteller Leon Drago, from London, has kindly authorised the use of his photograph Pathway, The Garden House and Pergola, Hampstead Heath extension, London.
