Pour Deux Pianos-At the time Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) tackled music for two pianos Belle Époque salons were already vying for this gifted 17-year-old who had made himself known by publishing a song whose success was going to be crowned by a place in posterity: Si mes vers avaient des ailes. Dated 1891 the Scherzo lent surprises with its very title a veritable oxymoron since the scherzo is normally distinguished by its rapidity. From it the composer kept only the three-beat rhythmic pattern and the tripartite structure (ABA) with B serving as a trio. Previously unpublished this expressive dance with its moderate tempo had its world premiere recordingby Leslie Howard (with Mattia Ometto) who prefaced the present publication. Built on an improvised theme while dusk was wrestling with night the Caprice mélancolique of 1897 takes the form of a waltz-fantasy in quadruple time its originality being heightened by the contrasting central part. The moving triptych Pour bercer un convalescent dedicated in 1915 by Private Reynaldo to 'Henri Bardac sergeant in the 306 th infantry seriously wounded at the battle of the Aisne' combines modesty and melancholy with infinite delicacy: its healing powers are of all times.

L'ensemble des articles de ce numéro de Filigrane rend compte d'une démarche contemporaine qui tend à re-situer l'expression musicale, et qui propose une réflexion sur son inscription dans un lieu. Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'une vague notation ' sur le motif ', comme les cartes postales pour guitare ou pour piano du tournant du dix-neuvième et du vingtième siècle pouvaient en proposer des exemples, mais de propositions qui interrogent la réalité de notre contact avec la qualité sonore des éléments acoustiques, leur présence corporelle, à côté de la nôtre, la faculté des sons à habiter une architecture, un jardin, l'ensemble de l'espace urbain, et aussi les espaces virtuels qui sont désormais une part de notre demeure. / Livre

Fantasio, oeuvre de jeunesse, a été écrit à une époque où je subissais très fortement l influence de Darius Milhaud et de Bela Bartok. Il doit être considéré comme un hommage à ces deux compositeurs que j admirais.Tous les titres ont été empruntés à la comédie de Musset. / 2 Pianos

Fantasie über das Rondo aus der Klaviersonate in A-Dur KV 331 von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Par SAY FAZIL / CETINER YUDUM (Arr.). The final movement of the Sonata in A major KV 331 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Rondo Alla Turca, is one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. Once only familiar to musical experts, later a universal piece for all piano pupils, its opening melody is now even omnipresent as an alienated sinus tone-like mobile phone ring tone. Fazil Say's arrangement, originally created as an effective encore, follows on from this popularity. After the first eight bars have been presented in original form, typical elements of jazz superimposed on the still recognisable classical foundations can be discovered, such as syncopation of the top notes and ornamentation through chromatic blue notes, embedded in the at times frenzied chains of semiquavers. In the spirit of the work's improvisatory character, Say likes to perfom his Alla Turca Jazz in different combinations, for example accompanied by jazz singers of with orchestra. It may appear strange that Fazil Say, who was born in Turkey and - when not on tour - is still resident in that country, does not bring back Mozart's interpretation of genuine Turkish music closer to its own roots, particularly as many of his compositions such as Black Earth or the Violin Sonata are characterised by a subtle amalgamation of the Classical-Romantic tradition, Turkish folk music and elements of jazz. In a further Mozart arrangement, the ballet music Patara premiered in Vienna in 2006, composed on the basis of the Rococo-like theme from the first movement of the same A-major Sonata (wich enjoys almost as great popularity as the Alla Turca theme), Say utilised the connection which was absent in Alla Turca, albeit in the opposite direction. In the ballet music, the piano symbolises Western culture and the Ney flute Oriental culture, communcated atmosperically by austere percussion instrumentation and soprano vocalisation. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

Chopin ?crivit ses concertos pour piano vers 1829/1830. Ils constituent en quelque sorte ? la fois le point culminant et la fin de sa p?riode ?tudiante ? Varsovie. Les deux concertos sont des chefs-d??uvre pr?coces avec lesquels Chopin connut un grand succ?s lors de ses premi?res tourn?es de concert ? l??tranger.

piano reduction for 2 pianos. Par SHCHEDRIN RODION. Shchedrin, son of a composer and music teacher, underwent a thorough musical training in Moscow. His versatility and dazzling competence across a wide variety of musical genres are surely a result of his studies. The composer is also an exceptional pianist and frequently performs his own piano works (concertos, sonatas, 24 preludes and fugues, etc.) on the concert platform. While employing a variety of modern compositional techniques he has, nevertheless, succeeded in uniting traditional and contemporary forms. His work is suffused with his love for Russian folkmusic, poetry and literature, yet it is not just relevant in his homeland but speaks to a wider audience. His more recent works too, are characterized by this fusion of a deep Slavic sensitivity with outstanding virtuosity./ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

The Prelude Hymn And Toccata 1987 is dedicated to and was commissioned by the Nettle-Markham Piano Duo. It was the second work to have been written for them by the composer the first being the Sonata For Piano Duet Op.92. This twenty minute work begins with Leighton's typical preludial double-dotted rhythms and contrapuntal textures; it develops into dark passionate music and erupts into single and double cadenzas. The gentle Hymn is ushered in quietly and unfolds in long rhapsodic sections building up to more climactic cadenzas before dissolving gradually to an ethereal conclusion. The Toccata finale shows Leighton's masterly piano writing andcontrasts biting rhythmic motifs with sweeping yearning elegiac phrases.
