Written by Francois Joseph Naderman (1781-1835), Sonatinas Progressive, Op. 92 consists of a series of seven small sonatas. The level of difficulty alternates between intermediate and advanced as these can be played at different speeds but necessitates some strong technique as well as some pedal changes. These Sonatinas Progressive, Op. 92 are still considered as some of the most famous pieces of the harp repertoire today. Francois Joseph Naderman was a classical harpist, composer and teacher at the Paris Conservatoire. His vocation was developed by growing up as the son of a Luthier harp maker. He also wrote Sonatas for harp, harp and cello, studies and other pieces.

Tarascone; Tarantella Capuanese; Valzer; Polka di Vittorio; Tarantella StiglianeseThe history of the Viggianesi, strolling musicians, winds over a period of about four centuries and esprimeun ‘unicum’ musically and anthropologically. Heirs of a travelling musical tradition that from the late Middle Ages inhabited more than just the streets of the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples, the harpists of this extraordinary story made their first appearances as early as the end of the 1600s engaged in musical practices at shrines.Armed with an urgent need to make a living together with a strong musical inclination, adaptability and versatility, the groups of musicians, almost always belonging to the same family circle, became the promoters of the great Italian musical tradition (Southern in particular), and with their harps on their shoulders they became the identification symbol of a well-defined and limited area of Italy: the Agri Valley, in Basilicata.From the many documents examined, a very wide and varied musical repertoire emerges mixing the pastoral tradition with classical tradition (mainly opera, devotional music with songs from the cities (from the Neapolitan tradition to international production). The pastoral repertoire, the subject of this publication, consists of a strongly characterized native repertoire which the Viggianesi had consolidated in both public and private ritual occasions in their native land, even if performing in distant lands.This collection is included among the compulsory pieces of The 7th International Harp Contest in Italy Suoni D’Arpa, 2017, Category A – Associazione Italiana dell’Arpa – www.associazioneitalianarpa.it

I have always been fond of writing works for specific people or organizations. It has been my good fortune during most of my creative career to be asked to compose for many extraordinary performers. The Sonata for Harpsichord Solo is such a case in point: it was written in 1982 for Barbara Harbach, a superb performer, close friend, and collaborator on many musical projects. The Sonata was premiered on March 2, 1984, in a recital given by Dr. Harbach at Nazareth College in Rochester, New York. During my formative years as a composer, one seldom heard of the harpsichord as a modern instrument, though while I attended undergraduate school at Boston University, some of us banded together to construct a small harpsichord from one of the first do-it-yourself kits which began to appear in the late '40s. It was also during this time that I heard the Sonatina for Violin and Harpsichord by my teacher Walter Piston and consequently specified that the accompanying instrument for my second violin sonata could either be a piano or a harpsichord. It was not until recently, however, that my interest in the harpsichord as a solo instrument for new music was aroused. This was because of the emergence of so many young virtuosi, such as Barbara Harbach, who are interested in the performance of new music besides the great harpsichord music of the Classical, Baroque, and pre-Baroque eras. The keyboard music of Domenico Scarlatti has always intrigued and fascinated me. The brevity, excitement, and clarity of this sparkling music is charming as well as exhilarating. It is this type of Baroque sonata that inspired the conception and form of my harpsichord sonata. The entire work is loosely based on the musical translation of Barabara Harbach's name, especially the conflict of the B (B-flat) and H (B-natural in German notation). This secondo rub or dissonance especially pervades the first movement, which is in a modified sonata form, pitting jagged and tense melodic elements against most lyrical and smooth lines. This second movement is a song-like melody accompanied by rolled chords which may be played on the lute stop of the instrument if this sonata is performed on a two-manual harpsichord. The final movement is an ever-driving joyous toccata which brings the work to an exciting close with a coda made up of accelerating repeated chords. --Samuel Adler.

«Sono stata un?arpista attiva per mezzo secolo. Come tutti i miei colleghi, ho dovuto affrontare le difficoltà create dalla leggenda che l?arpa non abbia né musica, né storia. Fortunatamente, nel corso della mia carriera, ho potuto constatare che questa diceria è infondata e ho cercato di mettere in risalto almeno una piccola parte dell?immenso repertorio antico e moderno di questo strumento considerato un Paria della musica.Il lavoro è stato piano e diretto per i libri che ho scritto sulla musica d?arpa italiana e svizzera, perché basato su precisi titoli e frontespizi; la ricerca sarebbe stata ugualmente scorrevole per i libri che non scriverò sulla musica d?arpa francese, tedesca, austriaca, britannica, boema, spagnola, portoghese e scandinava.Per la musica olandese il cammino è un po? diverso: i pittori, i trattatisti e gli storici sono i testimoni e le guide che aiutano a ritrovare gli usi e i costumi musicali nei quali l?arpa aveva una parte importante.Il concertista in cerca di pezzi potrà utilizzare così questo libro: dopo i trattati (capitolo II), i dipinti (capitolo III), la storia e la cronaca (capitoli IV-VII), autori e musiche (capitoli VIII e IX), biblioteche ed editori (capitoli X e XI), arriverà all?indice secondo le formazioni strumentali (capitolo XII).Potrà cominciare dal cercare, in quest?ultimo capitolo, gli Autori adatti al suo gruppo e al suo programma; ritroverà i relativi dettagli nei capitoli VIII e IX; otterrà i pezzi seguendo le indicazioni dei capitoli X, XI e XII; e buona caccia, buono studio, buone prove!Nel cercare di stabilire che cosa sia olandese o non-olandese nella musica antica è stata seguita l?abitudine corrente di considerare patrimonio comune dei Paesi Bassi l?arte e la storia anteriori alla separazione delle "Sette Province" nel secolo XVI; e specificamente olandese tutto ciò che accadde in quei coraggiosi territori da allora in poi.»
