A Century Of Piano Music contains pieces graded accordingly to difficulty, originally written variously for concert hall, class, festival or home: miniatures and more extended pieces that show off each composer at their best. Every major artistic movement can be discerned in this collection of easy and accessible piano works by some of the biggest names in British music of the twentieth century. As an aid to preparation and interpretation, there is a short explanatory paragraph on each piece. Generally, fingering has been added, though not in pieces where several alternatives would be viable. / Piano

Around 1960 Olivier Messiaen began a large-scale concerto based on the birds of the Hérault region (?Oiseaux de l?Hérault?) for piano various soloists and orchestra. Although the project remained unfinished the solo piano part was quite developed. The Olivier Messiaen Foundation entrusted Roger Muraro a renowned interpreter of Messiaen?s piano works with organizing the sketches and manuscripts found in the composer?s archives. This new publication emerged from Muraro?s research. The study that opens the volume describes his methods in detail discussing among other issues the relationship of this work to the later Sept Haïkaï. Richly illustrated with a number of facsimiles musical examples and photographs Muraro?s introduction retraces the origins and historic context of the work invites the reader to enter the composer?s workshop and offers suggestions for performance.

His collection shows how varied the genre is, from the ragtime-like lilt of El esquinazo to the romantic waltz La loca de amor by Pablo José Vázquez and the energetic El entrerriano by Rosendo Menizabal, as well as a new arrangement of Carlos Gardel's immortal El dia que me quieras.

Allain Gaussin a pupil of Olivier Messiaen at the CNSM in Paris and a veritable alchemist of sound created a sensual and sparkling work that aims to induce in listeners the sort of “internal awakening” that the Japanese refer to as Satori – the title given to a piece for solo clarinet he wrote in 1998. Composed a decade later Tokyo-City for solo Piano draws on the same inspiration fuelled by several stays in Japan. Gaussin sets out to reproduce the various sensations he experienced during his walks around the Japanese megalopolis: a fear of being swallowed up by its vastness gives way to a bedazzlement in theface of a buzzing universe awash with harmonies and colours. The work follows a dual symmetrical structure (in terms of register and tempo): after an enigmatic start entrusted to the low notes of the piano a musical figure gradually emerges from “floating polyphonies” producing a veritable toccata which is slowly deformed like an ana­morphosis. Then only a glimmering of crystal-clear harmonies remains and the work ends sparsely on the highest notes of the piano.

7 Stücke für Klavier solo / 7 Pieces for Solo Piano. Par LINNEMANN MARIA. In her new piano publication, the composer Maria Linnemann revisits a whole series of memories. The birth of a child in her immediate family provided the impetus for the composition of two pieces, including the eponymous In Your Garden of Life. A number of pieces reflect on various aspects of the relationship between two people, while others are simply inspired by special moments in the composer?s life. All the compositions in this album are characterised by a moderate difficulty, as well as a catchy, approachable musical style. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Recueil / Piano
