Par LIANG LEI. I was fascinated with the Chinese landscape painter Huang Binhong (1865-1955), particularly with the albums the artist painted when he was nearly blind from cataracts. The image that inspired this composition was a detail taken from the painting. The detail was reconstructed by high-resolution scanning, and it reveals an intricate world hidden within the paintings' brushstrokes. It draws us into the landscape of microscopic elements - a fiber in the rice paper, or the trace left by a single hair in the brush. Will you come to my dream? is about discovering such a world, and the moment when we lose ourselves in the landscape together. – Lei Liang / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

for Piano/4 Hands. Par DIEMER EMMA. This three-movement suite was written for Tachell Gerbert and Bradley Gregory. The work is based fragmentally on the tune from the popular song written in 1914 by Harry Carrell and Henry Attenridge, which is appropriate as the composer's inspiration is the Pacific Ocean, located a few miles from her home in Santa Barbara. The movements are not meant to be impressionistic imaginings of the ocean, but rather moods intrinsically related to the happiness, sometimes nostalgia, of the melody and the romance, the idea of being by the sea with someone you love. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Per Pianoforte A Quattro Mani (O Due Pianoforti). Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Par CLERC EMMANUEL. Dans ces trois pièces pour piano à quatre mains, Emmanuel Clerc a voulu rendre hommage à Jean Cras, compositeur sensible et poète passionné des grands larges, et dont toutes les musiques étaient inspirées par la mer... 'J'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à découvrir ces pièces en hommage à Jean Cras. Elles sont pour moi le reflet de l'infini et des grands espaces maritimes de la Bretagne, où se mêlent les trois éléments de cette belle nature : l'eau, l'air et la terre, symboles de cette contrée mystérieuse. Ces musiques d'une couleur modale sont toutes imprégnées de la nostalgie des chants traditionnels bretons.' - François-René Duchâble / Date parution : 2007-12-10/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Tombé dans l?oubli depuis des siècles, l?opéra La Gioconda est sans doute le chef d??uvre de Ponchielli.
La partie du ballet « La danse des heures » reste néanmoins familière aux oreilles des profanes puisque cette pièce a été insérée dans Fantasia, le célèbre dessin animé de Walt Disney.
Morceau très contrasté, à la fois gracieux et mouvementé, cette page demeure inspirée et mérite à coup sûr d?être redécouverte, en dehors de l?utilisation abusive que la publicité et le cinéma en ont faite. / Classique / Trasncriptions pour piano de Jean-François / Partition / Agrafé /
