Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra

Piano Reduction-A talented pianist and composer it stood to reason that Camille Saint-Saëns would engage with the Piano concerto genre early on particularly as in France the 'concerto brilliant' was very popular at that time.Saint-Saëns did indeed begin to compose his own concertos however; he gave a clear renunciation of the 'concerto brilliant' declaring instead that 'the solo part of a concerto must be set out and treated like adramatic role'. He realised this concept of a 'symphonic concerto'; in his Piano Concerto No.2 In G Minor composed in 1868.The solo part is technically very challenging and at the same time closely boundup with the Orchestra. Johannes Umbreit is responsible for the Piano reduction based on the composer's own version for Two Pianos; Pascal Rogé supplies the fingerings for the solo part.

Dvorák, Antonín Concerto for Piano and Orchestra G minor op. 33 B 63 - New Urtext edition of Dvorák?s only piano concerto - Commentary on performance practice by Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek (Eng/Cz/Ger) - Piano reduction by Karel ?olc adapted to fit this new edition Edition no. BA 10420-90 ISMN 9790260108394 Composed in 1876, Dvorák?s only piano concerto has been overshadowed by his other two concertos, for violin and violoncello, respectively. Performers and editors have often attempted to upgrade this pianistically unassuming work by adding stylisations of their own. Our Urtext edition revaluates the sources, frees the work from subsequent interventions and presents it to full advantage in its authentic form. The principal source of our new edition is the first complete print issued by the publisher Hainauer in 1883, which has been meticulously collated with the autograph. The anonymous original piano reduction is so full of mistakes that editor Robbert van Steijn decided instead to present the version by Karel ?olc.

for Pianoforte and Orchestra op. 73-Many wholly new corrections in the solo and orchestral parts.Piano reduction with a separate solo part as was customary in Beethoven’s day.With Beethoven’s continuo figures for the first time in a modern edition.Beethoven’s fifth and final Piano Concerto is at the same time the culmination of his efforts in this genre and a reflection of all his artistic skill and expertise. The surviving manuscripts provide a clear insight into his working methods and his intentions regarding the work’s performance.The editor Jonathan Del Mar has closely scrutinised the autograph solo piano part and reproduced Beethoven’ssophisticated performance instructions for the first time in a modern edition. Among other things this has special repercussions for the left-hand figured bass line of the piano part during the tutti passages.As with the Piano Concertos Nos. 1 to 4 the Piano reduction appears with a separate solo part containing all the information needed by the soloist to conduct the ensemble from the Piano.

Description Sergei Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No.2 In C Minor Op.18 (2-Piano Score) Two pianos Four hands. P The orchestra accompaniments are arranged for a second piano. Songlist Piano Concerto No.2 In C Minor Op.18

Réduction pour deux pianos-Maurice Ravel's 1931 composition Concerto For The Left Hand originally for Piano and Orchestra. This version for Two Pianos with a reduction of the Orchestral material by the composer.

This Concerto was commissioned by C.E.M.A. for the Festival of Britain and was first performed on 22nd June 1951 by the Composer and the City of Belfast Orchestra. This is a reduction of the Concerto for 2 Pianos.

During his time Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.4 was continually dogged by criticism that it was work desperately seeking a style. Critics said the Fourth did not seem know where it was coming from or knew which way it was going. Concert goers who were swept away by the lyrical beauty of the Second and storming brilliance of the Third were expecting Rachmaninov's Fourth Concerto to have that similar emotional impact. Nevertheless there is a wonderful rhythmic tautness to this outstanding piece. The finale contains some of the Fourth's most attractive music. This particular work is a reduction for 2 pianos where the music's potency isn't compromised by it's lack ofan orchestra.

Par CROCKETT DONALD. The original Capriccio was commissioned in 2005 by the University of Southern California as a short piano concerto. Capriccio II is a response to, a re-thinking of, the original Capriccio, now for two pianos instead of piano and orchestra. The overall mood is one of joyous abandon, with fast, rather athletic music surrounding a central chaconne of lyric intensity. Capriccio II was completed in March 2016, with premiere performances by HOCKET in Fall 2016. / Date parution : 2022-02-17/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

for the Left Hand for Piano and Orchestra Piano reduction and solo part-In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel’s most thrilling compositions and for Wittgenstein the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career.This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel’s Piano Concerto For The Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor Douglas Woodfull-Harris was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work’s evolutionfrom Ravel’s autograph working copy to the first printed edition.A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel’s own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein’s own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction and enabled the editor amongst other things to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions including the solo Piano part.The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel’s and Wittgenstein’s fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm)Includes source descriptions and a Critical Commentary with alternative readings (Eng)Informative Introduction on the work’s history and genesis (Ger/Eng/Fr)With facsimile pagesPiano reduction with separate Urtext solo part enclosedFull score & parts (BA7881) and two-Piano reduction (BA7881-90) available for sale
