Published posthumously in 1855 the Fantaisie Impromptu In C# Minor Op. Post.66 is one of Chopin???s most frequently performed and popular compositions.There was initially some mystery surroundingthe piece and why Chopin never published it during his lifetime. James Huneker trying to explain why the piece was not published calls parts of it 'mawkish' and 'without nobility' whilst Ernst Oster writes that atechnical exploration would show why Chopin did not publish the work and that exploration shows that the Fantaisie-Impromptu and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata ('Quasi una fantasia') are related.Themystery may have been solved in 1960 when pianist Arthur Rubinstein acquired the 'Album of the Baroness d'Este' which had been sold at auction in Paris. The album contained a manuscript of the Fantaisie-Impromptu written in Chopin's own hand and dated 1835. The title page for the manuscript states that the piece was 'Composed for the Baroness d'Este by Fr?d?ric Chopin' and from this Rubinstein surmises that the words 'Composedfor' in place of a dedication imply that Chopin received a paid commission for the work.This Henle Urtext Edition for solo Piano has been edited by Ewald Zimmermann and includes fingering by Hans-MartinTheopold.

3 Mouvements de Pétrouchka 3 Sätze aus Pétrouchka-Stravinsky's goal in arranging Petrushka for the piano was to attempt to influence Arthur Rubinstein into playing his music. In order to gain the latter's attention Stravinsky ensured that Rubinstein would find the arrangement technically challenging but musically satisfying. Trois mouvements de Petrouchka reflects the composer's intentions and unsurprisingly it is renowned for its notorious technical and musical difficulties.

Kevin Volans' L?Africaine for Piano solo. Duration: 22 minutes. Composers Note: Most of the piano music I have written has focussed on a number of 20th century musical concerns: withcomplex rhythmic patterning a- and poly-tonality multiple layering of parts on occasion introducing different tone colours (like playing inside the instrument or electronic modulation) ? but above all resonance. The development of the piano in 19th century with its increased size pitch and dynamic range led above all to an instrument capable of rich and full resonance that could rival even an orchestra. All centred around thepedal ? in Anton Rubinstein's words: The soul of the piano. This time I thought it would be interesting to write a piece which pays no attention to this tradition; to write a piece from the point of view ofsome African compositional methods and ways of patterning ? mainly interlocking parts which result in shifting downbeats. For a large part of the piece I treat the left and right hands as two complementaryperformers. So hardly any pedal no concerns with contemporary harmony style structure or technology. I did slip in a slightly concealed reference to Debussy's L'Isle Joyeuse however. The pieceis roughly 22 minutes long in three sections and the title is a slightly tongue-in-cheek reference to Couperin.

36 Original Piano Pieces Instrument : piano Nombre de Pages : 72 The music teacher and pianist Monika Twelsiek adds a new selection of piano works around the subject of Night and Dreams to the Piano Classics series. At any time, the night was a theme in literature, art and music. 'Night' and 'Dream' are emotional images which evoke vastly different emotions in different people. The night is a place of peace and security, of longing and love, of secrets, imagination and dreams. But night also means strangeness, loneliness, fear, danger and crime. The collection 'Night and Dreams' with works from the Romantic piano literature to new contemporary sounds tries to capture all of these nightly emotions. Apart from a plethora of folk-song-like lullabies, numerous fantastic dream pieces and descriptions of dangerous night scenes have been added to the collection. An alluring mixture of imagination and reality, for advanced piano pupils and lovers of piano music. Content : P. Zilcher: Lullaby, op. 93/4 - G. Nevada: A Little Dreamy - A.

Scène rustique russe-Tchaikovsky composed the Russian rural scene 'Dumka' in just a few days in late February 1886. 'Dumka' is originally the name of an epic and historical South West Slavic folk song of a melancholy nature. In Tchaikovsky's Op. 59 the elegiac andante cantabile forms the framework of the fast middle section in which brief formulaic thoughts newly varied and increasing in virtuosic intensity display fireworks of pianistic brilliance. Being his only 'Morceau de Concert' this piece occupies a special place among the piano works of Tchaikovsky. As a pianist who rarely gave concerts and occasionally complained about the lack of interest from the keyboardtitans of his time (Franz Liszt Hans von Bülow and the brothers Anton and Nikolaj Rubinstein) in his music. Tchaikovsky certainly regarded the piece as a chance to make his music known outside of Russia. So the French subtitle of the piece may rather be understood as a concession to the French audience.
