Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this eighth volumeis indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations toremote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royalfamilies.The eighth volume, comprising Sonatas 358-407, includes the popular and recognised Sonatas in B minor (K. 377) and E major (K. 380). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competentand popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essentialaddition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre.

Joachim Raff's 12 piano pieces Fruhlingsboten op. 55, originating in 1852/53, mark a new creative start in his compositional oeuvre, in which the composer left behind his previously written and published piano works. The title of the work, translated as Heralds of Spring, is multilayered: It refers not only to spring in nature as expressed in the headings of the first two pieces, Winterruhe [Hibernation] and Fruhlingsnahen [Spring's Approach], but the words Heralds of Spring also indicate love's spring, the blossoming of love for his future wife, the actress Doris Genast. This appears in the headings of the pieces as of no. 3, sketching the path of an imaginary couple approaching union via various annoyances. And ultimately, Raff saw in his new piano work the harbingers of his future works, created under happy circumstances. In Fruhlingsboten Raff repeatedly demonstrates his ability to adapt idioms and compositional techniques from works by Liszt, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and others. The pieces do nonetheless possess their own thoroughly original diction with a character spectrum just as diverse as their stylistic piano design. Mahlert's new edition, as beautifully presented as ever from this publisher, is exemplary, and can easily be recommended to advanced pianists with a love of nineteenth-century repertoire. Superb.(Andrew Eales, Pianodao).

“Considered as one of the hardest works for solo Trombone, Piece in Eb minor by Joseph Guy Ropartz is a mix of Romantic and Impressionist influences. This piece requires a strong endurance: the second part starting after the half of the first page shows the hardest run, when most players would already start lacking of endurance! Great piece for recitals and exams for advanced players, it will be beneficial to strengthen your breathing abilities while playing. Joseph Guy Ropartz is a French composer and conductor. He composed Violin sonatas, Cello sonatas, string quartets, Piano trios, string trios and five symphonies. He also wrote some poetry.&rdquo.

The content of this volume consists partly of works that have survived in the composer's manuscript and are now published for the first time, and partly of the original versions of pieces that were published during Liszt's lifetime but later reworked. Of the earlier versions connected with Years of Pilgrimage, 2nd Year, Italy, the most noteworthy are the two completed versions of the Dante sonata, which are now appearing in print for the first time. Further important compositions belonging to the Italy cycle are the Petrarch sonnets. The first versions of these that we are publishing were actually published by the composer, and he also included them in his concert repertoire.Another particularly significant piece being published for the first time is the Freischütz fantasia, a characteristic, fine example of the type of opera fantasia Liszt developed at the beginning of the 1840s. Of the waltzes that feature in this volume, in addition to the first version of the concert pieces - the Grande valse di bravura and the Valse mélancolique - we have also included three complete, technically less demanding little pieces that Liszt intended primarily as mementos. Der Band beinhaltet mehrheitlich die als Autograph erhaltengebliebenen Werke, die hier erstmalig publiziertwerden, und andererseits ursprüngliche Versionen vonWerken Liszts, die noch zu Lebenszeit des Meisters herausgegeben,aber später überarbeitet wurden.Von den früheren, dem Années de p lerinage, 2e année,Italie-Band zugehörigen Versionen verdienen vor allemdie zwei vollendeten der Dante-Sonate besondere Aufmerksamkeit,die erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Dieweiteren bedeutenden Kompositionen des Italien-Zyklussind die Petrarca-Sonette. Die erste Version dieser Werkesind,wurde schon damals von Liszt publiziert und vonihm selbst in sein Repertoire aufgenommen. UnterdenErstausgaben soll auch auf die Freischütz-Fantasie besonderesAugenmerk gelegt werden. Diese ist ein typischerund niveauvoller Vertreter der Anfang der 1840er Jahreerarbeiteten Liszt’schen Ausprägung der Opernfantasie.
