Hands On Piano 1

Arrangement for Piano Fourhands-In the 19th century arrangements for Piano four-hands were usually versions which people played at home if the works could not be heard in concert. In cases such as these Brahms did not however just make functional versions butcreatively transcribed his works for the piano. As the composer he allowed himself greater freedom than arrangers for publishers did. In this form his arrangements greatly contributed to the success of his works in musical life inthe 19th century. It is on account of their creativity that Brahms’ arrangements have attracted new interest in musical circles over the last few decades. This Urtext edition of the Symphonies nos. 1 and 2 for piano four handsoffers a scholarly musical text following the recently published volume in the Brahms Complete Edition.

This traditional setting of Adolph Adam's timeless carol will develop precise listening for dynamics balance and phrasing. Appropriate for church use. Arranged by Beatrice A. Miler for 2 Pianos Eight hands (Double Piano Duet).

Voici une des nombreuses partitions de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Ce génie, mort à l'âge de 35 ans, a révolutionné la musique classique. Vous retrouverez à travers la partition Concerto for Piano and Orchestra C major K. 467 tout le talent de Mozart. Cette partition a été composée pour 2 Pianos 4 Mains. C'est l'éditeur Henle qui a publiée cette oeuvre. / 2 Pianos 4 Mains / Chanson En Séparée

Etant donné que Mozart avait écrit ses concertos de piano pour lui-même 'ou pour un petit cercle d'amateurs et de connaisseurs', ils ne furent - à quelques exceptions près - pas publiés de son vivant. Le K. 503, son plus long concerto pour piano, fut aussi publié à titre posthume par Constance à ses frais. Il ressort d'un feuillet d'esquisses du premier mouvement, sur lequel il fit de nombreuses retouches, que Mozart tenait ce concerto en haute estime. La réduction de piano de la présente édition a été réalisée par le pianiste de renommée internationale, András Schiff, à qui nous devons déjà les réductions des Concertos K. 453, 467 et 488. Les doigtés de la partie soliste et la cadence sont également de sa plume.? / 2 Pianos, 4 Mains / Chanson En Séparée

Jazz Hands is a series of original jazz pieces for Piano by Mark Tanner which covers all standards from grade one through to red hot. Although the player may feel free to indulge in a spot of improvisation in response to the printed music there is no expectation to do so in any of the books. Nor are there any chord symbols or other bespoke abbreviations the like of which presuppose a degree of familiarity with the genre which may not actually be the case. Rather the idea is that the player will become gradually more confident and adept at playing in a jazz style as he/she works through the books. It may well be that a classically-trainedpianist has reached say grade 5 but feels currently at a more modest stage when tackling jazz. This is absolutely not a problem and indeed is all the more reason for the 'straight' player to extend their jazz skills to match.The title of this series 'Jazz Hands' derives from the familiar exuberant gesturing seen in music theatre fingers spread and extended with palms facing upwards an effect frequently amplified by a convulsive shivering of the hands. Cheerleaders have tended to make widespread use of jazz hands while the concept has also found its way into revues Broadway shows and films as well as contemporary dance. In the current context I am of course referring to the jazz pianist's hands which in only the most ambitiously spaced Art Tatum chord would require the player to stretch the digits to such an extent as in the aforementioned theatrical sense. The term 'jazz' has been adopted and adapted in a multiplicity of ways (not unlike 'classical' indeed) so that it no longer tells us very much about the music itself. Aficionados immediately recognise the better-known subgenres such as 'bebop' or 'New Orleans' styles and may even be able to distinguish 'smooth' from 'groove' or 'fusion/crossover' from 'postmodern'. And yet these are just labels not music. In an understandable bid to define all that we hear

Mozart's works for Piano duet form the first highlight of this genre which later is only achieved by Franz Schubert. The two early sonatas from the Salzburg period which are particularly suited for music teaching in secondary schools are opposed to three effective compositions from his Viennese period. The present volume also contains the sonata KV 19d the authenticity of which is not confirmed as well as two fragmentary movements dated from Mozart's last years of life KV 357. Robert D. Levin has completed them true to style for practical use taking the limitations of the keyboards of the Mozart Pianos and the composer's personal style into account unlike as in the first edition of ca. 1860. In the appendix there are the two fantasias KV 594 and 608 originally composed for mechanical organ adapted from the earliest arrangements for piano duet published a few years after Mozart's death. In this edition the music text is published in the form of a score for the first time.
