Intermediate Music for Two, Volume 1

Intermediate to Upper Intermediate Level. Par . 'Upon embarking on this project, I had little idea of what I would find. There were, of course, the 'usual suspects:' women composers whose name and whose music have stood the test of time and are familiar to many. There were also those whose names ring a bell but whose music does not. The real unknowns were, well, the unknowns. How many women composers whose music is worth studying and listening to were out there' (...) When selecting, I searched for the following: beautiful interesting compositions that students can benefit from and will love learning, teachers will enjoy teaching, and audiences will appreciate; a variety to styles, composers, and nationalities; showcasing as many composers as possible, while striking a balance between well-known, lesser know, and unknown composers.' - Immanuela Gruenberg, in the Preface. These brand new collecions come in two volumes, with book 1 arranged for upper elementary to early intermediate pianists, and Book 2 arranged for intermediate to upper intermediate level pianists. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Piano

Aulos I to a certain degree continues Orbán's easy piano pieces for children, which he composed for Ágnes Lakos's piano tutor and which Editio Musica Budapest published in a separate volume entitled Enchanted Forest in 2011 (Z14742). Yet on this occasion the composer took on something which was both significantly different and more than his earlier pieces for children. On the one hand, he did not compose for beginners but for more advanced students who have studied piano for at least three years. On the other, he did not set developing the technique of piano playing as an aim, rather a systematic presentation of different polyphonic genres and compositional procedures (imitation, fugue, stretto, inversion, augmentation and diminution, double counterpoint, latent polyphony, double and triple fugue, cantus firmus technique, etc.). Orbán introduces his students to the mysteries of polyphony in a direct and practical manner, and thus actually makes them familiar with the art of composition.The educational use of the series is significantly increased by the fact that before each piece the composer presents and clarifies with demonstrative illustrations the polyphonic procedure he introduces. Orbán's explanations are not text-book-like at all, but are deliberately personal and subjective, full of lessons and individual associations taken from his practice as a composer. They were written in the same spirit as the works themselves - while they perfectly fulfil their educational purpose they are equally individual, witty and inspired pieces of music that are a joy to play. / Ensemble Mixte

Sonatinas form a vital part of the teaching material for beginner and intermediate piano students. Compared to the great classic piano sonatas, they are technically and musically simpler and typically shorter. However, they still convey the basic elements of Classical style: the relation of melody to accompaniment, articulation, stylistically authentic playing, and correct interpretation. For the two volumes of Giraffe Piano, the most favoured and instructive of the sonatinas have been chosen. Volume 1 contains simpler pieces and Volume 2 is comprised of moderately difficult ones. Correct interpretation of the pieces is facilitated by added performance and fingering marks. Learning is helped along by clear presentation of the score, carefully placed page turns, and by inspiration from colour images showing the keyboard instruments of the 1720-1820 period for which the pieces were written. The most notable of them is the giraffe piano, after which the collection is named. / Piano

The latest volume of Chamber Music for Violoncellos contains four sacral works, two of which were arranged for cello quartet by the editor of the series, Árpád Pejtsik. Both Angelus!, Liszt's piano piece of ethereal beauty, and the Kyrie of Mozart's Requiem, an irresistibly surging four-part fugue, are magnificent when played with the immensely rich sound of the four cellos. The second part of the volume contains a pair of inspired works by two prominent cellists and composers of the 19th century: Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Fitzenhagen's Consecration Hymn and Friedrich Grützmacher's Ave Maria. While an instrumental skill of at least intermediate level is required for playing the upper parts due to the use of higher positions, the lower parts can be performed by beginner cellists. The editor has assisted the appropriate interpretation of the works by providing the fingering and bowing. / 4 Violoncelles

The volume for intermediate players in the Ad libitum series offers duos from the Renaissance to the Late Romantic Period, which can be performed in a varied ensemble of instruments. The publication also contains works by less well-known composers, including two pieces by Bertalotti which were originally written for solfege yet are valuable as concert pieces and can be well played, as well as a composition by Jacques-Christophe Naudot and one by Carl Friedrich Weidemann. / Ensemble Mixte

There are relatively few published sonatas or sonatinas for Piano duet at the late elementary and early intermediate levels. This volume containing both 18th and 19th century works by master composers and teachers is avaluable contribution to the genre. The two parts are printed on the same page so that teachers and pupils will see the score in its entirety contributing to a better understanding of the interaction between the parts. Phrasing articulations and other interpretive marks have been carefully edited for clarity and practicality.These little pieces will lend interest and variety to piano recitals and will give confidence to primo players who havelimited experience by providing a solid foundation in the secondo parts.

The studies by Friedrich August Kummer are perfect for music lessons, particularly because of their accompaniment of a second violoncello. They are characterized by a very systematic arrangement, cleverly introduce the circle of fifths and offer exercises at all levels of difficulty. The studies originally come from the appendix to Kummer's Celloschule für den ersten Unterricht Op. 60. In this new edition, they are for the first time published completely in two volumes as 92 progressive studies. The present edition is based on the first edition published in 1839 (Verlag Friedrich Hofmeister, Leipzig) and has essentially adopted the original fingerings and bowing indications. For better readability, the number of fingerings has been slightly reduced. Volume 1 (ED 22371) is intended for beginner and intermediate lessons. Volume 2 (ED 22372) focusses on the musical performance of the advanced pupil. Friedrich August Kummer (1797'1879) was a pupil of Friedrich Dotzauer and Bernhard Romberg and later trained famous cellists like Julius Goltermann or Bernhard Cossmann.
