Keyboard fireworksAs early as 1743, while Handel was still alive, Francesco Geminiani produced an arrangement of the 'Water Music? for keyboard instruments, thereby making it possible to perform this popular work in domestic surroundings. Then, presumably in 1749, an unknown musician arranged the 'Music for the Royal Fireworks? for transverse flute or violin and harpsichord.In addition to these two contemporary versions, this edition also contains an arrangement by the editor for harpsichord or organ, based on the first edition. Though both early sources explicitly mention a harpsichord, the arrangements can also be performed effectively note-for-note on the organ.As the surviving anonymous version merely places a solo part and a figured bass on a two-stave system, our edition is accompanied by performance material with one part each for transverse flute/oboe/violin and violoncello/double bass,plus a figured bass realisation.- Musical text with arrangements by two Handel contemporaries as well as the editor's own arrangement for harpsichord or organ- All editorial additions are clearly marked- Equally effective when performed note-for-note on the organ / Ensemble Mixte

Par SOLER ANTONIO. Soler (1729-83) was one of the outstanding keyboard composers of 18th-century Spain. His sonatas show great brilliance and originality, many of them influenced by the characteristic colours of Iberian popular music. This edition offers a selection of 14 of the best sonatas from the set given by the composer to Viscount Fitzwilliam in 1772, as well as editorial notes from Kenneth Gilbert. **ABRSM selected piece (Piano 2019-2020): Sonata in D minor, R. 25  / Piano Music / Recueil / Clavecin

Avec 8 Préludes et 1 Allemande De 'L'Art De Toucher Le Clavecin' (1716-1717). Par COUPERIN LOUIS. Once again the French musicologist Denis Herlin, who mastered the harpsichord under the tutelage of such keyboard legends as Kenneth Gilbert and Huguette Dreyfus, has presented an exemplary edition of a classic from the harpsichord repertoire.' (Jury of the German Music Edition Prize on BA 10844) Bärenreiter presents Book II of Couperin's 'Pièces de clavecin”, first published in 1717, In addition the eight preludes and one allemande from his treatise 'L'Art de toucher le clavecin” are included in the appendix. For the first time Denis Herlin has evaluated the many later impressions of the original print, most of which he unearthed himself in international libraries. By preserving the essential features of the original print while largely dispensing with disruptive page-turns within the pieces, the volume brings modern performers close to the special sound of this music. Rounding off this pioneering new edition are an extensive Foreword, notes on historical performance practice, a comprehensive glossary, facsimile pages and a detailed Critical Commentary. - Pioneering edition with the first-time evaluation of an extensive body of sources - Includes Couperin's original expression marks - Contains nine original compositions from 'L'Art de toucher le clavecin”(1716-17)/ Répertoire / Clavecin

Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 73. Edited by Robert Klakowich. Amateur and professional players with an interest in Baroque repertoire will welcome this generous selection of 25 harpsichord pieces by John Blow (1649-1708). Blow stands as the dominant figure of English harpsichord composition in the late seventeenth century, the master of an individual school that merged continental influences into a vigorous native tradition of keyboard writing. There are preludes, dances and grounds in this anthology, which is selected from Volume 73 of Musica Britannica, and also includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note. Along with its companion volume of 16 organ pieces, K43, this collection is an important addition to Stainer

Collection Le Pupitre (LP22) The second volume of Couperin's Pieces for Harpsichord does not contain a date of publication, however, it is thought to have been composed during 1716-1717, due to the address which the composer gave on his other Harpsichord compositions. Yet, the compilation remains a favourite. François Couperin (1668-1733) is often nicknamed 'Couperin the Great' to distinguish him from other members of the musical family. Many of the composer's works have picturesque titles. Examples of this in his second volume of Pieces for Harpsichord include, Le Moucheron (The Gnat), L'Adolescente (The Teenager) and La Fringante (The Elegant). Couperin's moods are expressed through choices of keys, adventurous harmonies and discords. With a significant amount of variation and inspiration, Pieces for Harpsichord are essential to the repertoire of aspiring players of the instrument.

talian 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 second volume is indispensable toperformers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much ofScarlatti\'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 royal families. The second volume, comprising Sonatas 53-103,includes the popular and recognised Sonatas in F minor (K. 69) and B minor (K. 87). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in theservice of two royal families, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Clavecin / HEUGEL

Ce livre apartien à Mademoiselle de Bloren la cadete Le manuscrit n°108 de la Médiathèque municipale de Roanne est une collection de pièces de clavecin, d'airs et de morceaux de musique de chambre. Il donne un exemple très intéressant de pratique musicale amateur. Le problème est que Mademoiselle de Bloren n'a pas indiqué le nom des compositeurs. Deux pièces seulement portent un titre dans la série de pièces pour clavecin, et aucune date n'apparaît nulle part. Dans le Catalogue des fonds musicaux anciens conservés dans la Région Rhône-Alpes (1998), les extraits d'Amadis de Grèce sur lesquels s'ouvre le recueil sont attribués à André Cardinal Destouches: cela nous assure que la rédaction n'a pu commencer avant 1699. Après quelques recherches dans le répertoire nous avons pu identifier certaines pièces, qui sont du XVIIe siècle. Celles qui restent peuvent retrouver un titre car on y reconnaît des danses ou des formes musicales connues (voir étude parue dans le Bulletin de La Diana du 3e trimestre 2004. La Diana, rue Florimond Robertet, 42600 Montbrison). Nous n'avons pas retenu ici les airs, car la plupart se retrouvent dans une source plus sûre: le Premier Livre de Sébastien Le Camus (1668). Quant aux pièces de musique de chambre, de moindre valeur musicale, elles nécessiteraient d'importantes corrections. Beaucoup sont inachevées. Les pièces de clavecin, en revanche, méritaient une édition moderne pour deux raisons: - Elles complètent le répertoire dont nous disposions avec des pages totalement inconnues et quelques transcriptions inédites. - Elles présentent un intérêt pédagogique majeur en offrant une agréable approche de la musique du XVIIe siècle. Nous sommes intervenus aussi peu que possible sur le texte, que l'interprète (ou son professeur) ne devra pas hésiter à améliorer...
