Schmitz: Mini-Tango Heft 2 for Piano for six hands With These Minis, It Takes Three to Tango For a long time, there was a little gap in Manfred Schmitz's 'mini' piano series (Mini Jazz, Mini Rock, Mini Tango). Now it's been closed. The 'Mini Tango' now welcomes its six-hand book, which contains a mix of newly written pieces and highlights from the basic book for two and four hands, which were arranged and sometimes considerably expanded. As usual, Schmitz fashions each of the three parts as technically equal in value. Keeping six hands busy, the 'Mini Tango' now brings a new sound quality to group recitals organized by piano teachers. Table des matières 1 Parrot Tango 2 Penguin Tango 3 Morning Tango 4 Evening Tango 5 Sad Tango 6 Fiery Dance 7 Feel-good Tango 8 Little Sorrow 9 Lonely dancing Girl 10 Dance till Sunrise 11 Snuggly Tango 12 Tango Elegy 13 Tango for Manuela 14 Memory Tango 15 Sentimental Tango 16 Goodbye, Argentina 17 Black Rose 18 Tango virtuoso

Slavonic Dances op. 72 for Piano Four-hands-With the publication of the second volume all of the ?Slavonic Dances? are now available in Urtext. Following the resounding success of the first series op. 46 which immediately made the composer famous around the world thepublisher urged him to write more. Dvo ák only got down to work on them eight years later announcing ?I think these will be very different?. And indeed the difference cannot be missed: the second series is singled out bygreater formal freedom and more colourful harmony. Whereas Opus 46 is for the most part characterised by sparkling high spirits (HN757) in Opus 72 there are also quieter notes: melancholy and poetry find their way into theexuberant dance.

Works For Piano Duet-'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions the eclecticism of good taste charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Fauré's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mère l’Oye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole Selfiana. The Variations puériles sur une mélodie de CarlReinecke manifest a free whimsical vein whereas the Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from a handwritten score the Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Pièce en forme d’aria et Bergerie from 1896 finely polished takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale popular in the 17th century.

for piano four-hands-The six pieces in Gabriel Fauré's Dolly suite were inspired by the young daughter of the composer's friend Emma Bardac. The girl was born in 1892 and called “Dolly” on account of hersmall delicate figure. These pieces were composed mainly for Dolly's birthday or the New Year and reflect the world as experienced by the growing child from a lullaby to a temperamental dance. The suite was notmeant to be taken too seriously as shown by the subtle allusions to his own music and that of others. Despite their simple basic structure these pieces which soon became popular contain numerous harmonic and rhythmic subtletiestypical of the French composer – “children’s music” that is also well suited to adults.
