Par ZANCHI ATTILIO. Teoria, tecniche e stili del contrabbasso moderno. Ho iniziato a scrivere questo metodo diversi anni fa, praticamente quando ho deciso di cominciare a suonare questo strumento così affascinante ma arduo da padroneggiare. Procedendo nello studio cercavo d'apprendere le nozioni teoriche ed assimilare i vari passaggi tecnici che dovevo affrontare scrivendo degli esercizi specifici. Così facendo mi sono ritrovato a riempire decine di pagine di musica che sono divenute successivamente la parte principale di questo libro. I primi metodi che ho studiato sono stati gli ottimi libri classici 'Billè” e 'Simandl” che procedono in modo progressivo esplorando la tastiera nelle varie posizioni - in ogni capitolo si trovano esercizi basati sulle varie scale. Ho trovato molto utile questo sistema ed ho deciso di procedere gradualmente con lo stesso procedimento scrivendo però dei brani in stili più moderni quali Jazz, Blues e Latin. Gli esercizi utili a sviluppare la tecnica del pizzicato e l'agilità delle dita della mano destra sono ispirati agli studi che ho fatto con il grande contrabbassista e didatta Dave Holland e che poi ho elaborato in modo personale. Dopo una prima stesura ho iniziato a far studiare gli esercizi ai miei allievi ed ho avuto modo di revisionarli ed adattarli alle esigenze didattiche specifiche. Nel metodo sono contenuti 66 brani in vari stili costruiti con le diverse scale maggiori, minori naturali, minori melodiche ed armoniche in tutte le tonalità. Il libro contiene inoltre studi tecnici dettagliati relativi alla tecnica del pizzicato ed a quella con l'arco. Nel manuale si possono trovare inoltre diverse spiegazioni teoriche utili a completare la propria preparazione nel campo della musica moderna./ Méthode / Contrebasse

Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1922 Maurice Ravel heard the young Hungarian violin virtuoso and niece of Joseph Joachim, Jelly D'Aranyi, in concert in London. Following the performance, Ravel spent the remainder of the evening requesting D'Aranyi to play numerous gypsy tunes on her violin, probing her on the technical limits of the instrument. The result of this encounter is Ravel's virtuoso classic 'Tzigane”. Written originally for violin and piano or luthéal (a mechanism invented in 1919 that attaches to a piano, producing a sound similar to the rich overtones of the Cimbalon), the premiere took place in London in April 1924. The composer had finished the work only days beforehand. Ravel later orchestrated 'Tzigane” and both versions remain a 'must” for music-lovers and aspiring violinists today. Jelly D'Aranyi performed both versions regularly throughout her long career. This Urtext edition presents the first scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's masterpiece. It is published both in the orchestral version, complete with full score and performance material, as well as in the composer's earlier version for violin and piano. All known sources, including letters, have been drawn on for the new edition - one of the available sources, consulted for the first time, was a copy of 'Tzigane” from the estate of Jelly D'Aranyi, which is today part of a private collection. The version for piano and violin contains, besides the Urtext part, a second violin part as a facsimile with performance instructions by Jelly D'Aranyi. D'Aranyi's alterations and fingering reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and performance and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. The cooperation between Ravel and D'Aranyi is comparable to that of Brahms and Joachim working on the Brahms violin concerto. - First scholarly-critical Urtext edition of the work - Presented are both versions: for violin and orchestra and for violin and piano - Includes Jelly D'Aranyi's fingering/ Répertoire / Contrebasse
