This piece features percussive techniques utilizing: tapping, strumming, rubbing, and brushing on string instruments. The piece's title may be tongue-in-cheek, but it asks the student to focus on their rhythmic skills. It is a creative and interesting way to break up your concert and to improve the counting and rhythmic reading skills of players.This piece features percussive techniques; tapping, strumming, rubbing, and brushing. The piece’s title may be tongue-in-cheek, but it is also informative as it advises against using knuckles (knocking) on the wood of the instrument. Instead, tap the wood on the top (front) of the instrument with two or three fingers. In m. 27, dampen the strings with the left hand and tap on the fingerboard with the right hand. In mm. 41–48, the viola is held like a guitar; the strings are dampened with the left hand, and the right hand strums. No pitches should sound. In mm. 77–80, the right hand rubs or brushes the front of the instrument. To prevent any damage, do not strike the instruments too hard.Focus on ensemble and dynamics; the sound will carry if the rhythms are executed precisely.

Preface In 1990, during an intense rehearsal of a Mozart Quartet transcription for flute and strings by Franz Anton Hoffmeister, at the Marblehead Summer Music Festival, a disgruntled violist friend complained about HoffmeisterAs awkward string writing, suddenly daring me to create my own arrangement. I balked. But the following winterA3despite scruples about treading on hallowed groundA3I grew curious and began to experiment. Soon I was hooked on the challenge of learning to speak MozartAs language with conviction. This fascination, encouraged by pianist Richard Goode and other Mozarteans, would eventually generate a total of thirty-nine recreations of Mozart piano sonatas as works for flute and strings. With zero tolerance for alteration of melodic or harmonic materialA3MozartAs friend Hoffmeister had regrettably attempted such A!improvementsA(r)A3I always tried to envision what Mozart himself would have desired. Many of the sonatas can be heard as if they were MozartAs A!blueprintsA(r) of imagined chamber works. Hence my task was to A!flesh outA(r) the keyboard versions as Mozart might have done, had a commission or performance opportunity arisen. I spent hours pondering how Mozart might have set these sonatas in four- or five-part form, providing the needed textural or contrapuntal enhancements. With immersion in the composerAs dialect, various apt solutions presented themselves. The search for the A!rightA(r) one then became a most absorbing study. On the eve of releasing my BognerAs CafA recording of Mozart-Stallman New Quintets (2006), I discovered to my delight that a prominent scholar had long before endorsed such an effort. Eric Blom (1888A+-1959), author of Mozart (1935), had taken note of the four-hand piano works as A!a kind of keyboard chamber music.A(r) Regarding Sonata, K. 497, Mr. Blom had observed that Mozart is often dealing with, not the expected four voices (one to a hand), but five. Blom states: A!The F major Sonata (K. 497) removes us to another worldA3the world of the great chamber music, especially of the string quintets. Indeed an arrangement of some sort for a combination of instruments would make a magnificent concert work of this almost uncomfortably great piece of domestic music.A(r) That Mozart was in 1786 writing for piano duo from a quintet perspective makes sense, as we find him returning to the quintet form with keen interest in his last years, writing four String Quintets, the Clarinet Quintet, rearranging a wind serenade for String Quintet, and leaving several other quintets incomplete. My arrangement presented here is made for flute and strings but is also intended for string quintet. Quintet in F Major for Flute and Strings, K. 497, was completed in 1999 and performed with the Martin Quartet in the Czech Republic prior to recording it in 2004. Mozart had finished the original Sonata in F Major for Piano, Four-Hands, K. 497, on August 1, 1786. It shows the unmistakable influence of Figaro, completed and premiered exactly three months prior. As signaled by the imposing introductory Adagio, the conception is on a grand symphonic scale, all three movements being richly developed with contrapuntal episodes and an abundance of marvelously contrasting textures and themes throughout. Called A!the crowning work of its kindA(r) by Alfred Einstein, the Sonata is laden with examples of MozartAs mercurial originality. Here we have a perfect synthesis of concertante brilliance, operatic intensity and intimate dialogue. The work opens in unison with a probing, minor-tinged Adagio, whose question comes to a pause on the dominant, before being answered with jaunty certainty by the opening theme of the Allegro di moltoA3an F-major tune as sunny and confident as an aria from Figaro itself. This movementAs declamatory A!opera chorusA(r) persistently intones its rhythmic motto over a swirling scale figure. The amorous second theme (initially presented in the first viola) also seems to be plucked from Figaro. The Andante opens with a heavenly melody, which takes as its springboard the Romanza theme from the Horn Concerto in E Major, K. 495, written only five weeks before. The A!love duetA(r) between flute and first viola seems to anticipate the impassioned A!duettingA(r) between violin and viola in the Andante of the String Quintet in C Major, K. 515, written about nine months later. The ingenious stretto canon of the AndanteAs middle section requires the precision of a Swiss clock (which its chiming thirds recall). Affecting bucolic codettas close each of the main sections of the movement. In the final Allegro, a rondo in 6/8a time, the puckish, yet aristocratic character of the opening theme contrasts with the bumptious, popular tune used for the second theme (heard first in the violin and then the flute, over pizzicato cello). Lilting hymn-like episodes in three, four- and finally five-part counterpoint are repeatedly interrupted by startling scale figures that rise up in furioso episodes throughout the movement. As in the A!Swiss clockA(r) section of the Andante, Mozart uses a stretto imitation treatment with this tempest theme, thereby heightening both intensity and sense of instability. I am most grateful to the adventuresome Martin Quartet for their warm support and collaboration over the years with several of my arrangements, and to my friend Edwin Swanborn for the original typesetting of this score. Gratitude is also due Weekend Edition, Performance Today and innumerable classical stations across the United States for their enthusiastic and repeated airings of my A!newA(r) Mozart Quintet endeavorsA3and most of all, to violist Katherine Murdock for that dare in 1990.

A visual stereogram represents a 3-D image while looking though a pair of 2-D images. There are special viewers that are used to give this effect where two images viewed through the special device can give a 3-D or stereographic effect. Brubeck's Stereograms for Bass Clef Instruments are musical versions of the graphic form. Brubeck uses familiar folk melodies to create his Stereograms and adds jazzy twists to many of them. The musical version may contain two or three individual parts within a single melodic line, thus the musical 3-D Stereogram is created. Bach’s unaccompanied works have underlying multiple parts in them and Brubeck has been inspired by the Master to create a similar texture in these works. They are suitable encore pieces or performance pieces, alone or grouped into ad hoc suites.Brubeck's music requires rhythmic accuracy and multiple tonal colors, and are especially useful as sight reading tools to keep the performer sharp and on his/her toes. He has also added octave suggestions to allow them to be playable by the widest array of bass clef instruments.Each Stereogram is dedicated to a special musical hero in Brubeck's life. Excellent as study etudes or sight-reading pieces, Stereograms can be performed/practiced by Trombonists, Bass Trombonists, Tubists and Euphoniumists.The thirteen melodies used in Volume I are: You Are My Sunshine, This Little Light of Mine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, When the Saints Go Marching In, Just a Closer Walk With Thee, Frère Jacques, On Top of Old Smokey, If You're Happy and You Know It, London Bridge is Falling Down, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, Have You Ever Seen a Lassie, Go Tell Aunt Rhody.

E texts of the French author Anne-Marie Albiach have long been the point of departure for my works. Following the viola concerto << monstrueuse vecut dans le cadre >> la memoire, which is based on her << H II>> lineaires, the three texts entitled << une geometrie >> have generated a new cycle. As in the other two works of the cycle, << figurations de memoire >> is predicated on two different readings of the text: on the one hand a (private) reading by Anne-Marie Albiach in which time is measured [demarcated] out; while on the other hand the graphic text is measured millimeter by millimeter. The latter serves as the basis - the genetic code - for the temporal, horizontal structure of the quintet, whereas the reading of the author appears in rhythmic surfaces which interrupt the horizontal plane. In << figurations de memoire >> two clearly recognizable elements are repeated: the tone b (which plays a central roll in most of my works) and a chord of fifths built around the tone b - a piece of memory (memoire) from viola concerto. In contrast, the extended chords of the reading consist of five tones which in their frequencies are equidistant from each other (like an overtone chord). For the generation of tone materials the chords of both levels are compressed and stretched within the ranges (frames) of tones from which the horizontal positions of the text fragments are derived: lower, borderline tones on the left margin, and higher borderline tones on the right margin. Thus the disposition on the page, essential for Anne-Marie Albiach (and first introduced in poetry by Mallarme in Un coup de des jamais n'abolire le hasard), is rendered in sound. Naturally each element of the text serves to mold structure and dynamic, to include typography: fragments within quotation marks, in italics, etc., yield different sonorous images [sonorities] and movements. Each word from the typographical reading is orchestrated [instrumentated] differently, which is important for the whole cycle (however, the chords of the spoken reading are always played by five instruments; here only speech and pauses in speech [[interruptions of speech]are distinguished from each other). Thus a tight network of instrumental combinations is created in which, word for word, the text is made audible. The most important element in the process: the vertical, synchronized playing together of the individual instruments (Synchorniestudie), ranging from solo to quintet.

The most important element in the process: the vertical, synchronized playing together of the individual instruments (Synchorniestudie), ranging from solo to quintet. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.1632800.
