This composition is in its own way meant to be a tribute dedicated to Paquito D'Rivera showing the author's appreciation for this musician as an exponent of Cuban music of the past and present century, who represents a stronghold and example for all musicians - in particular for saxophonists and clarinetists - not only in his capacity as a performer and composer but also as a cultivator of both sound worlds, the so-called classical music and its popular counterpart in its most ample interpretative spectrum. The piece consists of four movements: Allegro Moderato, Lento, Allegretto and Allegro con Fuoco. Its outstanding feature is the fusion of elements of jazz (such as the improvisation in the first and fourth movements, parts of which are accompanied by the piano with its interpretation being based on concepts characteristic of jazz or the 'tumbaos” to be found in Cuban music) and classical music. The second movement starts off with a short recitativo, followed by a mixture of phrases borrowed from contemporary music, Afro-Cuban styles and jazz, whose distinctive rhythmic cells and articulations clearly define the character of the movement and finally culminate in tempo primo. The third movement shows a certain 'casualness” and tranquility in its melody as well as in its accompaniment, including a cadenza the musician may execute at will - the movement then culminates either in an improvisation ad lib or in the mere execution of the melody as notated. The fourth movement is charged with spiritual energy. Saxophone and piano frequently trade phrases, and there is an abundance of improvised passages and jazz phrases. The movement finally ends in unison forte together with the piano. / Jazz / Recueil / Saxophone Alto ou Baryton et Piano

This cello sonata by the renowned jazz pianist and professor of jazz piano unites in a certain way “the best of two worldsâ€: melodies, sophisticated harmonies and rousing rhythms, which are also convincing in a pure jazz context, are fused here with a formal language and movement techniques that are oriented towards classical models. The voices of both instruments are interwoven on an equal footing and take the listener on an exciting musical journey from the very first moment, which finds its virtuoso climax in the lively rondo via a classical sonata main movement and a quiet middle movement.

The nature of jazz has its roots in improvisation. The Jazz Sonata contains written-out pieces which correspond with improvised figures and formulae of jazz, while at the same time combining specific technical practice material with formal structures borrowed from 'art music'. With these features, the pieces are intended not only for practising jazz musicians but-perhaps even more-for pianists and teachers who, to complement their involvement with popular music, are looking for information and connections with jazz and its practice methods. The pieces are valid as individual pieces for teaching purposes or for use in a programme.

“Fren ch composer and teacher, Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a prolific composer of the 20th century as a member of 'Les Six'. His compositions remain highly regarded, Sonata No. 2 for Viola and Piano being no exception. Milhaud's compositions are influenced by jazz and polytonality, as exemplified in Sonata No. 2. Composed in 1944, Sonata No. 2 for Viola and Piano is an alternative, exciting sonata made up of three movements; 1) Rural, 2) Dramatic, and 3) Rough. Milhaud makes use of variation in articulation, complex rhythms, chromaticism, accidentals, harmonics, altering tempos, variation in dynamics and a wide tessitura, amongst other aspects. Milhaud's Sonata No. 2 for Viola and Piano is essential to all advanced violists seeking modern and exciting repertoire.â€.

Amantis zweite Jazz-Sonate zeigt eine moderne Seele in Sonatenhauptsatzform: Eckuinox beginnt mit einer schnellen Kadenz des Solocellos und geht uber in einen groovigen Ritt bis zum Ende. Rhythmische und 'kantable' Teile sind in der Klavier- und Cellostimme zu identifizieren, die wiederholten Elemente zu variieren und dabei mit verschiedenen Strichen und Akzenten zu experimentieren. Pulcinellas Geheimnis ist ein Tango, der auf dem Pergolesi/Strawinsky-Them a beruht, das mit dem bekanntesten Charakter der neapolitanischen Volkstradition verbunden ist. Das Thema ist die ganze Zeit uber verborgen, bis zu dem Moment im 3/4-Takt, wo es dann tatsachlich neu harmonisiert zum Vorschein kommt. Dawn - Dammerung ist der Soundtrack zum Neuanfang. Ceci n'est pas une fugue - Dies ist keine Fuge beinhaltet eine (Art) Doppelfuge uber einen Blues und das beruhmte 'konigliche Thema', inspiriert von der Entstehungsgeschichte des Musikalischen Opfers von J.S. Bach.
