Musik ist für mich keine theoretisch konstruierte Aneinanderreihung von Tönen und Akkorden sondern vielmehr Ausdruck einer Empfindung. Meine Melodien entstehen sozusagen aus dem Nichts. Sie entspringen purer Inspiration und jede Komposition ist von Gefühlen und Gedanken dieser Momente erfüllt. Mit diesem Notenbuch möchte ich meine Leidenschaft für die Musik mit euch teilen und euch noch tiefer in meine Musik eintauchen lassen. Ich hoffe dass ihr beim Spielen - noch mehr als beim Hören - spürt was ich fühlte als ich das Stück geschrieben habe.”  Florian Christl Der Komponist und Pianist FlorianChristl veröffentlichte 2018 sein Debütalbum 'Inspiration' bei Sony Classical und verzaubert den Zuhörer mit eingängigen und berührenden Klängen.

Joker is a complex Piano solo expertly composed by Anders Brodsgaard in 1990. Joker was inspired by Keith Jarret's Piano style particularly as it unfolds in his famous concerts of solo improvisation. The title comes from the fact that a kind of 'joker effect' is built-in in the rhythmic play which disturbs the 'arithmetical problem' and forces the music to continue every time a four-layered polyrhythm is about to come out.The Danish composer began by writing rigorously structured pieces inspired by the serial composers of the 50s. In his more recent pieces Brødsgaard has been working withmore fundamental musical phenomenon like tonality and pulse still inspired by the post-Pythagorean idea of a musical continuum between the musical parameters.

Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition Volume 38. Par BARTOK BELA. The third volume in the Complete Edition contains Bartók's works for piano solo composed between 1914 and 1920. Bartók's pianistic oeuvre from the years of World War I span a broadly varied spectrum; in addition to simple arrangements of folk music (15 Hungarian Peasant Songs, Sonatina) and original pieces for the concert podium (Suite, op. 14), we find Bartók's audaciously innovative Etudes (op. 18) inspired by Liszt, as well as Improvisations (op. 20), perhaps his most abstract and original folk music adaptations. The appendix of the volume reproduces movements originally intended for, but eventually discarded from, Suite and 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs, as well as all original sources for the folk-inspired pieces. The introductory essays in English, Hungarian, and German not only explore the genesis and reception of the works more thoroughly than ever before, but also orient the reader in issues of notation and performance. The critical commentary presents all manuscript and print sources of the works in detail (including folk music sources), it documents the compositional processes and surveys the range of textual variants and problems. / Somfai, László / Répertoire / Piano

From dramatic-virtuoso to pensive-romantic music, the 29 ?travel pieces? represent the complete range of Liszt?s compositional expression.

Edited by world-renowned Liszt expert and concert pianist Leslie Howard, the edition also contains Liszt?s original fingerings.

The three pieces in Idaho Gems capture the spirit of this northwestern state. 'White Pine Waltz' begins with a delicate melody in 3/4 meter inspired by the majestic western white pine, Idaho's state tree. The piece builds to a climactic middle section featuring flowing arpeggios in both hands before subsiding into a restatement of the theme. The second piece, 'Craters of the Moon,' paints a picture of the volcanic landscapes found in the national preserve of the same name. A repetitive chromatic figure in the lower register is combined with dissonant intervals in the upper register to capture the eerie otherworldliness of the park's lava fields. In 'Snake River Rag,' chromatic passages wind their way across the keyboard, inspired by the Snake River's twisted path through the Idaho countryside. 'Western Gem' provides a dynamic conclusion to the suite. The piece makes full use of the keyboard with block chords and scalar passages in both hands, while a modulation in the middle section provides an additional musical challenge. / Piano
