Tribute to a Maestro is an homage to Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), one of the most important French Baroque composers. Rameau was a hugely significant composer, organist, harpsichordist and music teacher: he also published several authoritative books on music theory. Jan de Haan based this tribute on a theme from ‘Les Sauvages’ (The Savages), the fourth act of Rameau’s ballet-opera, Les Indes Galantes (The Amorous Indies). The work begins with two variations, whereupon the striking theme can be heard. After a short intermezzo, four more variations follow, of which the last one is composed in Baroque style. Tribute to a Maestro is een hommage aan Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), een van de belangrijkste componisten uit de barok. Deze Fransman was niet alleen componist, organist, klavecinist en muziekpedagoog, maar ook muziektheoreticus. Hij publiceerde verschillende toonaangevende boeken over muziektheorie. Jan de Haan baseerde dit eerbetoon op een thema uit het oeuvre van Rameau, namelijk ‘Les Sauvages’ (De wilden) uit de vierde akte van een van Rameaus balletopera’s, Les Indes Galantes (De hoffelijke Indiërs). Het werk begint met twee variaties, waarna het markante thema is te beluisteren. Na een kort intermezzo volgen dan nog vier variaties, waarvan delaatste in barokstijl is gecomponeerd. Tribute to a Maestro ist eine Hommage an Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683 1764), einen der bedeutendsten Komponisten der Barockzeit. Der Franzose war nicht nur Komponist, Organist, Cembalist und Musiklehrer, sondern auch Musiktheoretiker. Er veröffentlichte einige grundlegende musiktheoretische Bücher. Jan de Haan stützte seine Huldigung auf ein Thema aus Rameaus Werk, nämlich Les Sauvages“ (Die Wilden“) aus dem vierten Akt von Rameaus Ballettoper Les Indes galantes. Das Stück beginnt mit zwei Variationen, woraufhin das bemerkenswerte Thema erklingt. Nach einem kurzen Intermezzo folgen vier weitere Variationen, von denen die letzte im Barockstilkomponiert ist. Tribute to a Maestro est un hommage Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764), l’un des plus importants compositeurs du baroque. Ce Français était non seulement un compositeur, organiste, claveciniste et enseignant de musique, mais aussi un théoricien de la musique. Ses nombreuses publications font autorité en théorie musicale. A la base de cet hommage de Jan de Haan est un thème de l’œuvre de Rameau, notamment « Les Sauvages » du quatrième acte de l’un de ses opéra-ballets, Les Indes Galantes. L’œuvre commence par deux variations la suite desquels on entend le thème saisissant. Après un court intermezzo, quatre autres variations s’ensuivent, dont la dernière estcomposée dans le style baroque.

Zo is Antonio’s Boogie gebaseerd op een motief uit De Vier Jaargetijdenvan Antonio Vivaldi. In Ludwig’s Blues gebruikte hij de eerste vier tonen uit de Vijfde Symfonie van Ludwig van Beethoven. Tenslotte is Amadeus Rag een knipoog naar het zogenaamde hoornkwintet van Wolfgang AmadeusMozart.

Die Geschichte von der Hexe und dem Maestro ist ein bisschen aufregend. Und spannend. Das muss sie ja auch sein, denn warum liest man sonst eine Geschichte? Das Schone an dieser Geschichte ist, dass man sie nicht nur lesen, sondern auch horen kann. Und wenn man dabei die Augen schliesst, sorgt die Musik fur eigene Bilder im Kopf und man sieht alles ganz genau vor sich: das Dorf mit seinen merkwurdigen Bewohnern, den dunklen Wald, in dem die kleine Hexe ganz allein, mit ihrer Katze und einem grossen Geheimnis lebt, den mutigen Maestro und schliesslich ... doch zu viel sei hier noch nicht verraten, sonst macht ja das Lesen und Horen keinen Spass mehr. Eins ist aber auf alle Falle sicher: Die Geschichte hat ein gutes Ende - der Musik sei Dank!

Piano students can most easily get to know and enjoy chamber music through four-hands playing. It is no accident that this volume makes reference to the title of Haydn's famous piece Il maestro e lo scolare, since the four-hands etudes it contains provide opportunities for teachers and pupils to make music together. The teacher can always play the more difficult part (this is sometimes the 'Secondo', sometimes the 'Primo') and the student the easier one. Den angehenden Pianisten lässt sich die Kammermusik am leichtesten durch Stücke für vier Hände vertraut und beliebt machen. Der Band weist nicht umsonst auf den Namen des bekannten Haydn Werkes Il maestro e lo scolare hin, da die Etüden dieser Ausgabe Schülern und Lehrern die Möglichkeit zum gemeinsamen Musizieren bieten. Der Lehrer kann immer die schwierigere (diese ist einmal die 'Secondo', ein anderes Mal die 'Primo'), der Schüler die leichtere Stimme spielen.
