La Cracovienne Op. 224

Ces mélodies early American 45 fonctionnent particulièrement bien sur l'enregistreur de soprano. Ils fournissent excellent matériel pour développer les compétences en tonguing rapide, souffle-contrôle étendu et jouer à des notes élevées. Beaucoup de ces mélodies ont des racines dans le vieux monde. Par exemple, La Cachucha, La Cracovienne et La Smolenka ont été apporté en Amérique par l'incroyable ballerine Fanny Elssler. (Pour sa performance de la maison blanche, Congrès ajourné au début!) Bien qu'effectué principalement pour enregistreur soprano, la plupart des solos peut être lus sur ténor ou enregistreur alto. (Sur l'alto, utilisez les doigtés C.) Une édition les flûte distinct est disponible. / Flûte A Bec / 52 pages / niveau : Débutant/Intermédiaire / Partition - Format: 11 X 8,5

Par KATSKI ANTONI. Souvenir de Cracovie, published circa 1870 with the subtitle Improvisation sur les krakowiak nationaux (an improvisation on the themes of national Krakowiaks), dedicated to Countess Franciszka Komorowska (Madame la Comtesse Françoise de Komorowska) is a very pretty composition which upgrades the folklore to the level of salon music. After several bars of mysterious introduction with little clues of further themes on which the composer would ?improvise? in the piece, there is a direct citation of the melody from a popular song Krakowiaczek jeden (?A Cracovienne had seven horses, he went to war and returned with one?). However, it is not the end of ?playing with Krakowiak? by Katski. In the work we can also find references to another popular song from Kraków Albosmy to jacy tacy (?We are nothing but boys from Kraków, a red hat, a little horseshoe, a red sukmana?). Both Krakowiaks are arranged in an interesting and challenging way. Souvenir de Cracovie, despite its cheerful character, keeps the listener interested until the culmination, in which both melodies are played simultaneously. The entire work ends with a comparatively calm epilogue, which presents the most important motifs of the composition once again. Katski?s composition is an extremely interesting work in Kraków piano literature. Anna Miernik translated by Jolanta Bujas-Poniatowska / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Piano

Par TWISS TIM. Five-string banjo enthusiasts who play in the stroke, clawhammer or guitar styles will enjoy these 50 melodic, tab-only arrangements. The collection is unique in that it includes reels, polkas, jigs, hornpipes, minstrel songs, ballads, light classics, and a Christmas tune?nearly all in C tuning with the fourth string a step lower than the typical 5-string G tuning. Well-known classical and popular composers: Beethoven, Foster, and Vivaldi, plus collector/historian-authors: Converse, Emmett, Howe, Kerr, O?Neill, and Ryan?are all represented in this book.With the exception of two Twiss originals, the music was chosen from sources available circa 1840 ? 1890. Some of these settings can be used as accompaniment to unison singing; all are designed to lie well on the 5-string fretboard for optimal playability. Using a custom-built fretted, nylon-string banjo, the author has provided online recordings of every tune for ease of learning. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Banjo
