In the Baroque Era the term “clavier” referred to all keyboard instruments: virginal clavichord harpsichord fortepiano and others. The Bärenreiter Baroque Piano Album presents a representative selection of the major forms of Baroque clavier music from England Italy France and Germany . The anthology is divided into these four countries and illustrated with pictures of historical instruments to convey an impression of music making in the country concerned. The volume begins with the Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi whose keyboard works exemplify the stylistic transition from the Renaissance to theBaroque. It then moves on to the English virginalists and the French clavecinistes and ends with the epochal of Johann Sebastian Bach. Apart from traits which prevailed in each of these countries piano pupils will learn about the various stages of the Early High and Late Baroque period as well as about the major musical genres from dance to fugue. Special care was taken in the selection of the pieces to ensure that they could be played on the modern piano. Since Baroque ornaments must be executed differently for each composer practical suggestions are included in the musical text. Reliable fingering has been added to make the volume ideal for use in piano lessons.

This piece probably the young Debussy?s best known Piano piece was the slow third movement of his Suite Bergamasque (HN 381) in four movements. Although it is conventional as far as the harmony is concerned thetonal and melodic details already anticipate Debussy?s later Piano style.The suite was only published in 1905 although Debussy had made it clear by adding the date of composition ?1890? to the proofs thatit was an earlier work. The fact that he agreed to its publication shows that he still identified with this piece from a period whose style he had long since left behind him.

Brahms’ Hungarian Dances count on brilliant and spirited virtuosity whereas his 16 Waltzes Op. 39 are more modest and intimate. Yet they are just as haunting who isn’t familiar with the gently rockingmelody of no. 14 that is one of Brahms’ best-known musical ideas? His publisher must have had an inkling of the success of this collection as shortly after its publication in its original version for Piano four hands in1866 he asked the composer for a version for Piano solo. Henle are now publishing it in a revised edition based on the musical text of the new Brahms Complete Edition.

Dans ces sonates en un seul mouvement la technique de jeu devient un élément formel structurant. Pour la première fois dans l?histoire durépertoire pour clavier l?interprète doit y maîtriser de grands sauts et des croisements de mains. La préface du grand pianiste Bengt Johnsson revient sur le parcours de Scarlatti et sur les différentes sources sur lesquelles repose notre édition. Quelques sonates paraissent ici pour la première fois en version imprimée.

Avec les progrès techniques réalisés dans le monde de l'instrumentation musicale, et notamment avec les synthés, appareils MIDI et autres 'home-studios', il est dorénavant à la portée de tous de disposer d'un véritable orchestre (batterie, basse, guitare, instruments à vent, etc.) chez soi ! Mais encore faut-il savoir aménager, arranger ces différents instruments entre eux afin qu'ensemble, ils produisent de la musique. Le but de cette méthode est donc de vous initier à certaines façons d'arranger votre musique ou même un morceau déjà existant, que vous souhaiteriez adapté 'à votre sauce'. Une fois le style défini (chanson, blues, jazz, rock, latino, variété, etc.), vous aurez à distribuer les rôles de chaque instrument dans l'orchestration choisie, vous étudierez les complémentarités de l'orchestre, le principe des réponses entre instruments, etc... de manière à colorer de façon plus personnelle vos créations. Réaliser une partie de clavier, de guitare, de basse, ajouter une seconde voix au thème principal, élaborer des parties de cuivres, etc... tout cela est abordé dans ce recueil de manière à la fois simple et clair, afin de vous donner une technique correcte d'arrangement. Le CD, quant à lui, sera un support indispensable. Il vous fournira une foultitude d'exemples d'arrangements à 2, 3, 4 voire 5 instruments, vous permettant ainsi d'assimiler plus facilement encore le contenu de cette méthode, ainsi que quelques playbacks pour vous faire la main. / Clavier
