The renowned pianist Hans-Günter Heumann has arranged these 30 contemporary Piano classics which are some of the greatest hits of modern composers, inspired by minimalism and drawing on many other genres. Including arrangements of Einaudi, Yiruma and Yann Tiersen among many others, Piano Pur features many songs to soothe the soul. The most acclaimed composers of the genre like Dustin O'Halloran, Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen and Philip Glass are represented here, with beautiful arrangements by Heumann. The repetitive structures build rhythms and melodies that envelop the listener, resulting in wonderful pieces of music that are as enjoyable to play as they are simply to listen to. The juxtaposition of patterns and motifs create relaxing and joyful music that may come under the genre of 'miminalism', but is far from simplistic. Featuring songs like River Flows In You, Nightbook, Metamorphosis One and Three as well as Erik Satie's masterful Gymnopédie #1, Piano Pur is a wonderful selection of the most beautiful contemporary classical pieces, as well as three original compositions by Heumann himself.

Palle MikkelborgGOING TO PIECES WITHOUT FALLING APART2002for violin harpe og strygereTilegnet Elise Båtnes og Helen DaviesForord l ProgramnoteEn solful d morgentur i Melbourne bragte mig forbi en boghandel der specialiserede sig i 'spiritualbooks' og i vinduet faldt mine øjne på et citat som øjeblikkeligt ramte mig følelsesmæssigtstærkt- og jeg følte at jeg havde fundet titlen på den komposition jeg på tankeplan allerede vari gang med. Citatet lød:'going to pieces ... without falling apart'Tre temaer og relaterede skalaer baseret på henholdsvis Elise Båtnes' Helen Davies' og BergenKammerensembles navne har været afgørende for dele af tonesproget og forekommer både ielose-up ogmere douche i kompositionens syv hovedafsnit.Det barnlige det enkle det her-og-nu naive det umiddelbare kom til at spille en vigtig rolleunder arbejdet. Ikke fordi selve mit tonesprog er særligt meget anderledes end ellers (hvordanskulle det også kunne blive det?) men formuleringen: at go to pieces fik mig til at tænke på 'atblive som barn på ny' atter at være u-bange at turde tro på det enkle.Udover denne- i bedste betydning- enkle inspiration er ønsket at kompositionens kurve kanopleves som en mulig 'meditiations-rejse'; i starten en tro på egen ro langsomt breder uroensig og i lystfulde glimt ser man sig selv 'danse' en rituel dans med åndehuller her og der; ogfristelsen til at rive forhænget væk og go to pieces og angsten for måske at miste sig selv undervejs breder sig. Dog til sidst erkender man at det var rejsen værd og at man heller ikke denne gangfaldt apart men kan se frem mod atter at vise livet sin respekt ved spirituelt fuldstændigt at givesig hen dog vel vidende at livet merciless & merciful med kærlig hånd villade dig'go to pieces ... without falling apart'Men selvklart er mit egentlige ønske: at man blot lader musikken leve sit eget ordløse liv - atlytteren har sin egen rejse.Palle Mikkelborg

In this book Dr. Lily Afshar has clearly laid out the music and fingerings for 48 beginning to intermediate-level pieces by Aguado Bach Carcassi Milan Mertz Sor and other Renaissance through nineteenth-century composers. While many of these selections are set in first position for ease of reading they are effective for teaching different rhythms and arpeggio techniques as well as for learning to play simple intervals and three and four-note chords. These compositions were carefully chosen for their use in developing finger independence in both hands and can be used to advance rest stroke free stroke arpeggio and tremolo techniques. Dynamic markings have beenadded for interpretation if not originally indicated in the originals so in addition to learning positions and note locations along the fretboard you???ll have to pay attention to dynamic and tempo changes. Written in standard notation only this book is ideal for private study as a teaching and student recital sourcebook or for inclusion in the syllabus for a high school or first-year collegiate guitar program.

kleine Stücke für Klavier-This cycle of Piano pieces occupies an exceptional position among the other compositions from Bohuslav Martinu's early period. In view of the musical and aesthetic challenges this work presents the cycle Puppets goes beyond the other pieces from this period which broadly speaking are didactic in nature and designed for the purposes of study. Martinu wrote the cycle between the years 1912-1925 and during this time he reworked and changed the pieces to the extent that Puppets I chronologically comes after Puppets III which is the earliest in the series. The third book (Puppets I) dates from 1925 and contains fiveshort pieces: Columbine Dances The New Puppet The Shy Doll Fairy Tale and finally The Puppets' Dance. Puppets I-III are a joy to play while providing a worthwhile source of study material and are an essential part of the repertoire of young pianists. All three books are published in new revised urtext editions edited by Ales Brezina. Poh?dka?is included on ABRSM Piano Grade 6 syllabus 2017-2018
