Little Preludes and Fugues

Eight Little Preludes And Fugues BWV 553-560 formerly ascribed to Johann Sebastian Bach. Although it has not been possible to identify the composer of the 'Eight Little Preludes And Fugues' Alfred Dürr writes in his preface to this edition 'Since the value of a musical work is in no way dependent pm whether the composer is known or not the hope remains that the delightful and appealing music of the Eight will find enthusiasts in the future despite the fact that they no longer fulfil their former task namely to introduce 'typically Bachian' elements to the future organists. The Eight definitely have their own value'.

Par SHCHEDRIN RODION. The combination of cantabile elements and tight staccato rhythm, typical of Shchedrin's piano music, makes this 'little' sonata an effective, yet quite easily playable piece. It is unmistakable that this music has been written by a pianist who knows how to use the instrument. A virtuoso pianist himself, Shchedrin has often performed his piano works, including concertos, sonatas and 24 preludes and fugues, himself. The 'Sonatina' is dedicated to Shchedrin's wife, the famous prima-ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, and was performed for the first time in Moscow in 2005 as a birthday present./ Répertoire / Piano
