The CD includes full performances as well as tracks of the second part only. Each book includes two full scores. For two pianos 4 hands.

Ballet Suite-Cole Porter's only attempt at a “serious” composition came with the ballet score Within the Quota when Darius Milhaud suggested Porter as a composer to pair with his La Création du monde.Both pieces were rapturously received by the Parisian press at the October 1923 premiere at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Cole Porter later believed the score to be lost. In 1970 the score was discovered at Yale from which William Bolcom and Richard Rodney Bennett created this two-Piano version.The ballet is about an immigrant to New York who encounters a seductive heiress atap-dancer a flapper a cowboy and a movie star beauty. Two copies needed for performance.

34 miniatures for piano. Par HILLER WILFRIED. In a film portrait of dancer, painter and sculptor Antje Tesche-Mentzen, I learned that in former times she was a proficient pianist. When she told me that she intended to begin playing again, I promised to compose her a cycle for her new beginning: 34 miniatures, some of them with a direct connection to her paintings and sculptures. The main part of Kosmos was composed in 2014, 400 years after Albrecht Dürer created his copperplate engraving ‘Melencolia I’, in which a magic square appears. In a magicsquare, numbers are arranged in a grid so that their sum in each column, row, and the two diagonals is the same number. In the square I have chosen, the magic number is 34.

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.

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

'This work takes for its title that of the gegika novel by Yoshiro Tatsumi which deals with the interconnected lives of two young brothers and their obsession with Japanese manga. They end up reading each other's attempts to write manga themselves and eventually form a collective. The idea of two children growing up whilst criss-crossing artistically fitted with my initial ideas for this work for two pianos commissioned by Cambridge Suzuki Young Musicians.'Tarik O’Regan May 2010
