Balkanya, a suite in three parts composed by Jan Van der Roost, was commissioned by the Music School of Gaillon - Aubevoye (France) for the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of its creation. Jan Van der Roost dedicated the piece to the director of the school: Thierry Patel.As in his earlier work, Puszta, the composer makes no use of existing dances or themes in these three Balkan dances. This high-spirited suite takes its own approach to the folk music of the Balkan countries and is characterized by unique changes in tempo and spirit. Woodwinds, brass and percussion all have equal parts, making this suite attractive and enjoyable for the entire band.C’est la demande de l’École de Musique de Gaillon - Aubevoye et deson directeur, Thierry Patel, que Jan Van der Roost composa cette suite en trois mouvements pour célébrer le 20ème anniversaire de la création de cette École de Musique. Comme ce fut le cas pour Puszta, ces trois danses des Balkans sont des compositions originales ; il ne s’agit donc pas d’arrangements de danses ou de thèmes existants. Des changements de tempi et d’ambiance caractérisent cette suite enlevée et très personnelle dans son approche de la musique traditionnelle des Balkans. Bois, cuivres et percussions sont mis tour tour en valeur, ce qui rend cette suite particulièrement attractive etagréable jouer pour toute la formation.

This volume marks the 40th volume of Liszt's published piano works for two hands. The free arrangements and fantasies created in the second half of the 1830s accurately represent the composing skills of the already mature, celebrated piano virtuoso that Liszt was by that time. The themes of Trois morceaux de salon (the first work of this volume) are derived from Swiss and Spanish melodies in the first two movements, respectively. The third movement, on the other hand, quotes Giovanni Pacini's opera Niobe. Following this ''trilogy'' melodies from Bellini, Donizetti, Meyerbeer, and Mercadante's major operas appear. Examples include reminiscences and fantasies based on Ipuritani, Lucia di Lammermoor, Les Huguenots, and Il giuramento. To the best of our knowledge, the latter has not appeared in print anywhere so far.
