I am delighted to include in this series â?? so far almost totally made up of pieces written for me â?? this piece for guitar and piano composed by Giovanni Scapecchi and dedicated to the duo made up of my former student Raffaello Ravasio, who edited the fingering of the guitar part, and of Samuele Amidei. I am also particularly delighted because this piece was commissioned by the Duo Ravasio-Amidei as part of their full project in homage to Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco on the fiftieth anniversary of his death. In this composition, there are many references to the figure and work of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. First of all the duo guitar-piano is the same as in Fantasia Op. 145 by Castelnuovo-Tedesco (written for Andrés Segovia and Paquita Madrigueira), the most famous piece of the twentieth century composed for this formation. The piece by Giovanni Scapecchi, in the form of a Suite of dances, refers explicitly to the one by the famous dedicatee by means of some references which appear in the Sarabanda and in the Giga. The Crete mentioned in the title are, of course, the famous Senese clays which, with their colours and shapes, make up a remarkable part of the Tuscan landscape. Furthermore, profound meanings are attributed by Giovanni Scapecchi to the earth which makes up the clays (like Castelnuovo-Tedesco, he is a native of Tuscany, where he still lives). The Composer recalls first of all that the book of Genesis tells us that the first man was taken from the earth (there is therefore this primordial connection between man and earth). Moreover, the historic man, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, honoured here, maintained a deep relationship with his homeland â?? despite the dramatic separation due to the enforced exile to the USA, which took place in 1939 following the racial laws. Stylistically, I then found a further link between this piece and its dedicatee â?? who was influenced in his early works by musical Impressionism â?? in a certain French atmosphere running through the Suite.(Piero Bonaguri).

This arrangement of Peter Erskine's Bulgaria is a real tour de force for the entire ensemble, and always brings the audience to its feet. It features solo space for trombone, soprano sax, piano (or optional vibes), and drums, as well as a wild and exciting section with five soprano saxophones in unison, reflecting the intense feeling of certain kinds of Bulgarian folk dances. Clarinet may be substituted for some of the sopranos, if necessary.

The traditional Irish carol fits nicely over a Partido Alto Latin feel. The two-measure ostinato dances under a legato melody played by five saxes and a flugelhorn. Solo transcriptions for flugel and alto sax are drawn from the demo recording. Carefully-notated rhythm section parts spool down to a winsome last chord for piano and guitar. This is not just a charming and playable holiday chart. It's also a great entry point to an important South American style! Top trumpet note: F5.

The dances originally written by Franz Schubert for piano sound equally well on the accordeon. The well-known Hungarian accordeon player and teacher László Ernyei took advantage of this opportunity when he selected and transcribed for this volume the pieces best suited to his instrument. Included among the many Ländler, waltzes and écossaises are a number of well-known melodies from Dreimäderlhaus. Die ursprünglich für Klavier komponierten Tänze von Franz Schubert klingen auch auf dem Akkordeon sehr gut. Diese einladende Möglichkeit nutzte der anerkannte ungarische Akkordeonist und Lehrer, László Ernyei, als er für diesen Band die zum Instrument am besten passenden Stücke auswählte und bearbeitete. Unter den vielen Ländler, Walzer und Écossaiseslassen sich auch die bekannte Melodien des Dreimäderlhaus' wiedererkennen.

This three-part suite is rich in dances and full of contrasting styles and dynamics. The title of the work is a pun on the term ‘concerto grosso’, a piece in parts for a group of solo instruments and orchestra. In Contrasto Grosso small groups in the band perform as soloists, interpreting contrasting renaissance style fragments. Deze dansrijke suite bestaat uit drie delen die worden gekenmerkt door contrasten in stijl, dynamiek en instrumentatie. De titel van de compositie is een woordspeling op het concerto grosso, een meerdelig werk voor een groep solo-instrumentenen orkest. Ook in Contrasto Grosso treden kleinere groepen in het orkest solistisch op met contrasterende, renaissancistische tussenfragmenten.Diese dreiteilige Suite ist ein Wortspiel auf das Concerto Grosso“, ein mehrteiliges Werk für eine Gruppe von Soloinstrumenten und Orchester. Die fünf Solostimmen ins diesem Werk können beliebig besetzt werden. In allen drei Teilen interpretieren die Solisten häufig kontrastierende renaissanceartige Fragmente, während das Orchester die folkloristischen Elemente zum Ausdruck bringt. Contrasto Grosso est une suite dansante en trois mouvements de caractères et de styles variés. Le titre de l’œuvre dérive du terme concerto grosso, une forme musicale dont la structure se caractérise par une instrumentation alternant les passages orchestraux en tutti et les passages instrumentaux joués par des groupes solistes. On obtient alors une grande diversité de couleurs et de nuances donnant l’œuvre une expressivité très contrastée.
