Improvisation, Interpretation und Komposition sind drei grundlegende Bereiche des musikalischen Lebens, die vielfaltig voneinander abhangig sind und sich standig durchdringen.Dieses Buch sammelt und verarbeitet Erfahrungen aus uber einem Jahrzehnt. Seine Absicht ist nicht, eine Einfuhrung in den Bereich zeitgenossischer Pianistik zu geben oder ein Lehrwerk zu sein, obwohl es auch hierzu taugen mag; eher schon zielt es darauf, die Vielschichtigkeit der behandelten Themen zu verdeutlichen und auf die kunstlerische Notwendigkeit selbststandig zu suchender Wege und eigenverantwortlicher Entscheidungen hinzuweisen.

In vielfaltiger und sehr unterschiedlicher Weise wurde das Klavier im 20. Jahrhundert zum Klingen gebracht: Klangfarblich-experimentelle Phanomene finden sich bei John Cages prapariertem Klavier, komplex konzipierte Rhythmik in Ligetis Klavieretuden, gattungsuberschreitende Tendenzen bei Stockhausen sowie expressiv-architektonisches Klaviersatzdenken bei Wolfgang Rihm. Mit anschaulichen Analysen und vielen Notenbeispielen wird im Band Klaviermusik des 20. Jahrhunderts ein spannender Einblick in die Gattung des zeitgenossischen Klavierwerks gegeben. Mit Kurzbiografie und Werkverzeichnis werden die Komponisten dabei auch ausserhalb ihres Klavierschaffens vorgestellt.

Piano Music Arranged for Guitar features five early and mid-career compositions by John Cage, dating from 1933 through 1948, all arranged for solo guitar by Aaron Larget-Caplan. The compositions required little adjustment from the originals, mainly in the form of register modifications, and fit very well on the guitar. All phrase and dynamic markings follow the published originals. Very few left and right hand fingerings are included in the publication to allow the performers their own realizations. All of the works retain their original keys and are presented in chronological order:
Three Easy Pieces (Round, Duo, Infinite Cannon)
A Room
Chess Pieces
Dream
In A Landscape
Cage’s exploration of contrapuntal music and simple forms are found early on in works for two voices and the use of unusual phrases lengths. The later works explore modes, resonance, and begin to show influences of Far East aesthetics in their spaciousness and dealings with time.
The collection is only the second work in the Cage Oeuvre to be published featuring the guitar, the first being Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of ‘Six Melodies’ for violin & guitar issued in 2015.
A recording dedicated to John Cage on guitar will be released in 2018 on Stone Records Limited (UK).

“Over the years my orchestral music has become simpler and more expansive. Clouds of Forgetting, Clouds of Unknowing (1991-95) contains four different musical textures. In the White Silence (1998) has three. For Lou Harrison (2002) reduces this to just two. In Dark Waves (2007), I finally got to one. When I first heard that piece I began to wonder if I could sustain a similar sound for a longer span of time. The result is Become Ocean, a meditation on the vast, deep and mysterious tides of existence. The title is borrowed from a mesostic verse that John Cage wrote in honor of Lou Harrison's birthday. Likening Harrison's music to a river in delta, Cage writes: Listening to it we become ocean. Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. And as the polar ice melts and sea level rises, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.†John Luther Adams.

rw? 4 by Mark Andre is a contemporary work for four Mixed Choirs, Children's Choir, Large Ensemble and Electronics which is part of a four-part cycle. The word rw? (pronounced rúach) comes from Aramaic and covers a whole field of words: wind, breath, soul, spirit. In the Bible it stands for 'Holy Spirit'. In his cycle, the French composer and sound researcher Mark Andre makes this 'holy' breath concretely and existentially tangible. rw? 4 was commissioned by KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen funded by the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung. The complete cycle was first performed on 15 May 2022 at the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Hannover by more than 200 singers and Ensemble Modern, conducted by Ingo Metzmacher.
The full score is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library series. The performance material is available for rent. This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill. Please order from your favorite retailer.
