Hungarian-English-German-French.

This is a sequel to the highly successful Child Prodigy Composers volume. In this second volume, the majority of the pieces are works recommended for pupils in the upper music school classes, and indeed some can be used successfully in secondary level teaching as well. Here too, most of the compositions were written before the age of 14 - it is amazing what highly developed piano technique some of these young composers already possessed at the age of 13 or 14!In addition to Muzio Clementi's A flat Major Sonata, the Allemandes by Carl Maria von Weber, Schubert's surprisingly mature C minor fantasia, the prodigiously talented Clara Schumann's two polonaises, Mussorgsky'sbrilliant polka, a sensitive waltz by Scriabin and Borodin's showy (but not difficult) four-hand polka, this volume also contains works by a Hungarian composer: the hitherto unpublished mazurkas by Ern Dohnányi, written around ages 11-12.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung der Erfolgsausgabe Wunderkinder als Komponisten (EMBZ14773). In diesem zweiten Band sind mehrheitlich Werke für die höheren Klassen der Musikschulen vertreten, manche Stücke können auch in der Mittelstufe eingesetzt werden. Bemerkenswert ist, dass ein Großteil der Werke mit unter 14 komponiert wurden. Verblüffend, über welche Klaviertechnik ein Teil der dreizehn-vierzehnjährigen Komponisten schon verfügten!Neben der Sonate in As-Dur von Muzio Clementi, den Allemanden von Carl Maria von Weber, der überraschend reifen Phantasie in c-Moll von Schubert, den beiden entzückenden Polonaisen von Clara Schumann, der brillanten Polka von Mussorgsky,dem sensiblen Walzer von Skrjabin und der effektvollen, aber nicht allzu schwierigen Polka für vier Hände von Borodin, erscheinen auch in diesem Band Werke eines ungarischen Komponisten - die Erstveröffentlichungen der im Alter von elf und zwölf Jahren entstandenen Masurken und Scherzandi von Ern Dohnányi.

To celebrate the 85th birthday of Arpad Balazs, a selection of his rich output of choral music has been published. Arpad Balazs is an outstanding artist of his generation who is known and sung not only in Hungary. His compositional technique is unmistakably individual, characterised by a festoon of easily singable outer-inner voices that embrace one another, and a linear thinking deriving from Palestrina through Kodaly. Even as a young composer, he was active in the choral scene both in Hungary and internationally. He sensed the basic principles of singability and applied them consciously, and he spoke in a musical language comprehensible to singing communities. Imbued with the spirit of Kodaly, raised on Ferenc Farkas's excellent school, with experience gained at masterclasses by Khachaturian and Petrassi, with his oeuvre he has significantly contributed to the flourishing of the Hungarian culture of vocal music, and to its success in Hungary and abroad.

This volume contains Liszt's earliest pieces written in a Hungarian style. The complete set of Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien [Hungarian songs] consisting of 11 items is published here for the first time in a scholarly edition. The composer began to write them resulting from his first return visit to Pest in 1839. The music of these pieces was partly re-used by Liszt at the beginning of the 1850s in his deservedly popular 15 Hungarian Rhapsodies. The Carnival at Pest was inspired by his second tour of Hungary in 1846 it was later re-worked as the 9th Hungarian Rhapsody. The present volume also contains the so far unknown very first version of the 1st HungarianRhapsody, and in addition two large fragments from the 1840s plus a number of album leaves. A detailed preface in Hungarian, English, and German, including new research results, numerous manuscript facsimiles, and critical notes, makes this volume of the New Liszt Edition an important publication of immense scholarly value. Along with the cloth-bound Complete Edition, a paperback version for practical use has also been published. This edition's contents are identical to those of the hardcover edition with the exception that the critical notes are not included.

Dieser Band enthält Liszts früheste im ungarischen Stil komponierte Werke. Die gesamte Reihe der Magyar dallok / Ungarische National-Melodien besteht aus 11 Stücken und wurde hier zum ersten Mal in einer wissenschaftlichen Ausgabe veröffentlicht. Der Komponist begann sie in Folge seiner ersten Wiederkehr zu Pest 1839 zu schreiben. Die Musik dieser Stücke wurde teilweise von Liszt Anfang der 1850er Jahre in seinen verdientermaßen populären 15 Ungarischen Rhapsodien wiederverwendet. Der Pester Karneval wurde inspiriert von Liszts zweiter Ungarn-Tournee 1846: er wurde später neubearbeitet als 9. Ungarische Rhapsodie. Der vorliegende Band enthält ebenfalls die bisher unbekannte ersteFassung der 1. Ungarischen Rhapsodie, ferner zwei große Fragmente aus den 1840er Jahren sowie etliche Albumblätter.

Gyula Dávid (1913-1977) was one of the most important members of the generation of Hungarian composers who followed Bartók and Kodály. His ?uvre includes stage, orchestral, oratorial, chamber, and solo instrumental works. Although he rarely quoted folk material directly in his music, folksong, popular music and the spirit of the Hungarian musical tradition permeates his works. In the last two decades of his life he wrote atonal and twelve-tone compositions. With his Wind Quintet (composed 1949) he created a genre which plays an important role in the new Hungarian music. Gyula Dávid studied composition with Albert Siklós and Zoltán Kodály at the Academy of Music in Budapest,graduating in 1938. Between 1938 and 1945 he worked in several orchestras as viola player. From 1945 to 1949 he was conductor at Hungarian National Theatre, than he became leader of the Ensemble of the Hungarian Army. From 1961 to his retirement he was professor at the Teacher Training Faculty of the Academy of Music in Budapest. Between 1951 and 1960 he taught wind chamber music, music theory and wind orchestration at the Academy of Music. He was one of the founders of the Hungarian Artists' Union. He was awarded the Erkel Prize (1952, 1955) and the Kossuth Prize (1957).
