Early Piano Music. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. The tonal language of the young Richard Strauss is still characterized by the traditions of the 19th Century; indeed, the musical content of the composer’s early piano works is determined to a large extent by his response to the examples of Schubert, Mendelssohn and Schumann. These previously unpublished piano pieces appear for the first time in this edition. The “Sonatinas” in several movements and a “Fantasie” from the year 1874 - whose level of difficulty is comparable with the Sonatinas by Kuhlau and Clementi and with early pieces by Mozart - are versatile pieces suitable for teaching purposes./ Recueil / Piano

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. Dans sa jeunesse, Richard Strauss composa un grand nombre d’œuvres pour piano seul, parmi lesquelles également de nombreuses sonates. Mais seule la Sonate en si mineur fut considérée par lui comme suffisamment importante pour qu’il daigne la faire imprimer et éditer tout de suite. Elle existait sous deux versions, écrites vraisemblablement entre l’hiver 1880 et le printemps 1881, et fut publiée un an plus tard. Strauss suit encore ici les modèles du romantisme allemand. Les deux mouvements centraux de cette sonate exigeante, notamment, font immédiatement penser aux «Romances sans Paroles» et aux Scherzi de Mendelssohn. Il s’agit de la première édition Urtext de cette Sonate pour piano./ Répertoire / Piano

Par VOSS RICHARD. Turlough O'Carolan est né dans le comté de Meath en Irlande en 1670. Il a été formé comme un jeune à jouer de la harpe et tout au long de sa vie composé un grand nombre de chansons. O'Carolan a développé un style personnel, contenant les éléments mélodiques de musique irlandaise de folk, la musique de harpe courtois et la musique baroque italienne. Musique de O'Carolan n'a été publiée au cours de sa vie - donc, diverses versions de ses mélodies ont été prononcées par le biais de la tradition aural. On ne sait pas aussi comment il accompagne ses mélodies. Cette collection présente 35 mélodies préférées de O'Carolan facilement jouables, animés d'accords de piano. Ce nombre comprend trois mélodies originales par Richard Voss inspiré par et dans le style du maître au début. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Celtic/Irish - Solos / Recueil / Piano
