Within musical activities there exists a great diversity of different aspects that often go far beyond any particular specialization. Of all cultural activities clearly music is one that manifests numerous multidisciplinary features which not only enriches music itself but also all who are involved in it. This is certainly the case of Jordi Vilaprinyo, an excellent pianist, brilliant composer and a dedicated pedagogue with a remarkable career as a professor at the Conservatorio Municipal de Musica de Barcelona and in other educational institutions. All of this is all in addition to his role as a tireless advocate of everything relating to the piano, which reveals his exceptional personality completely dedicated to his greatest passion-music.T he academic year 2011-12 marked the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Conservatorio Municipal de Musica de Barcelona. In honor of the occasion, Jordi Vilaprinyo composed a series of eleven short pieces which present a pianistic-musical portrait of each professor of the Piano Department in our Conservatory. This piece, written in the form of a suite, brings together eleven imaginative musical sketches which reflect the personal qualities and musical personalities of his colleagues as seen through the eyes of Mr. Vilaprinyo. These eleven portraits reveal the respect which Jordi feels for his colleagues and at the same time they are ideal teaching pieces.The various portraits are written in a free and diverse musical language which is always effective. Certain moments are quite evocative while others are more descriptive and, at times, more energetic. The varied textures and sonic balance are always highly controlled and affecting. However, I would like to emphasize, that although the work could be considered as program music due to its personal nature, the pieces stand apart for their musical quality.Publish ed by Editorial Boileau, the work was premiered in a student concert which Professor Maria Rosa Ribas organizes each year. Professor Ribas is one of the members of the Piano Department depicted in the musical portraits. The premiere, performed by students of the Conservatory, took place in the Auditorio Eduard Toldra on May 30, 2011.The Onze retrats [Eleven Portraits] are dedicated respectively to the following professors: Carolina Saldana, Merce Molero, Maria Drets, Montserrat Cabero, Maria Jesus Crespo, Carles Marques, Maria Rosa Ribas, Albada Olaya, Montse Padros, Carme Poch and Mireia Planas.

'The whole range of percussion instruments can be compared to a magic kitchen.

He gives a comprehensible and illuminating account of the instruments' history, construction features, sound generation, sound and playing technique. Which is the oldest instrument of the orchestra? Where is the set of timpani positioned on the stage? What is a 'lemon mouth' and what does that mean to a wind player?

Enjo tt Schneider's composition for cor anglais, bassoon and strings was created in the form of a musical epitaph on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the death of the Bavarian King Ludwig II shrouded in legend. Quotations from works of the King's favourite composer, Richard Wagner, can be heard. At the same time, the picturesque motif of a romantically enigmatic Castle of the Grail, as created by Ludwig II with Neuschwanstein, is reflected in the musical make.In the arrangement for chamber music duo, the work can be performed in concert with cor anglais and piano only. The version for cor anglais, bassoon and strings can be performed with both soloistic string instruments and in groups, for example as part of a school orchestra project.

Nach seiner bahnbrechenden Arbeit uber Bachs Kunst der Fuge widmet sich Hans-Eberhard Dentler einem weiteren ratselhaften Werk des grossen Komponisten. Auf den ersten Blick ist der Anlass des Werkes bekannt und vielfach dokumentiert: Bachs Begegnung mit Friedrich dem Grossen und die Geschichte des Koniglichen Themas, welches der Preussenkonig auf einem Fortepiano vorzuspielen geruheten und welches Bach in einer Fuge ausfuhren sollte. Die Forschung beschrankte sich hauptsachlich auf das so genannte Satzfolgeproblem. Dentler zeigt, dass sich die eigentliche Bedeutung des Werkes erst vor dem Hintergrund einer aktiven Rezeption der pythagoraischen Uberlieferung durch Bach erschliessen lasst. So wird in dieser Darstellung ihr sakraler, keinen Ritus beanspruchender Charakter erkennbar, eine Himmlische Musik im Sinne der antiken Philosophie.
