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.

for Piano and Orchestra-The seven years that the Spanish composer Falla spent in Paris (from 1907 to 1914) marked a turning point in his compositions. His encounter with contemporary French Impressionist music made a big impact on him. From then on itwas to leave its mark on his oeuvre which was otherwise inspired by Spanish folk music. It was thanks to the advice of the pianist Ricardo Viñes and the composer Isaac Albéniz that Falla decided to expand his ?Nocturnes? for solopiano of 1909 into a three-part symphonic suite for piano and orchestra. He finally completed it in 1915 and named it ?Noches en los jardines de España? (?Nights in the gardens of Spain?). Yuja Wang kindly provided fingerings forthe solo piano part of de Falla?s enchanting musical evocation of his Andalusian homeland.

Par PIAZZOLLA ASTOR. A highly anticipated and well-received addition to the Carl Fischer roster, Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a compilation of five tangos by the great Argentine composer, Astor Piazzolla, arranged for two pianos. The five piano pieces of the second Piazzolla volume are Fuga y misterio, Milonga del angel, La muerte del angel, Soledad and Michelangelo 70. Fuga y misterio was composed in 1968 as part of Piazzolla's hugely successful operetta Maria de Buenos Aires, which later became the signature tune for a popular Argentine television show entitled Tiempo Nuevo. Astor Piazzolla Volume 2 is a fantastic collection and is a must have for pianists. This piece comes as a highly anticipated addition to Astor Piazzolla-Tangos for Two Pianos, Volume 1. / Date parution : 2019-08-30/ Recueil / 2 Pianos

None other than András Schiff is collaborating with Henle Publishers for the edition of Mozart?s Piano concertos. His Piano reductions are aimed at amateurs rather than professionals; his fingerings forMozart?s solo part have been exquisitely fine-tuned and are inspiring; and where Mozart?s original cadenzas are missing Schiff?s stylistically perfected ones have been included. In so doing we aspire to set anew precedent. First and foremost Mozart?s handwritten scores have been consulted being the most important sources. Moreover we know today that in addition to Mozart?s own manuscripts early copies in parts andprints also contain important information regarding the musical text. A co-production with Breitkopf & Härtel Mozart?s Piano concertos are not only available as attractive and affordable Piano reductions there are alsoan accompanying Urtext conductor?s score orchestral parts and a study score.

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.

Leur popularit? reste d?ailleurs enti?re jusqu?? ce jour. L??tat des sources relatives au concerto en mi mineur est clair. Quasiment aucun mat?riel autographe n?a ?t? conserv?. En cons?quence l??dition urtext de la partie de soliste parue chez Henle s?appuie sur la premi?re ?dition de 1833 initi?e par Chopin. La r?duction pour piano des parties orchestrales se fondesur le mat?riel issu de l?entourage de Chopin ? l??dition Henle permet ainsi une ?tude authentique de cette pi?ce ma?tresse du r?pertoire des concertos pour piano!

for the Left Hand for Piano and Orchestra Piano reduction and solo part-In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel’s most thrilling compositions and for Wittgenstein the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career.This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel’s Piano Concerto For The Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor Douglas Woodfull-Harris was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work’s evolutionfrom Ravel’s autograph working copy to the first printed edition.A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel’s own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein’s own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction and enabled the editor amongst other things to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions including the solo Piano part.The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel’s and Wittgenstein’s fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm)Includes source descriptions and a Critical Commentary with alternative readings (Eng)Informative Introduction on the work’s history and genesis (Ger/Eng/Fr)With facsimile pagesPiano reduction with separate Urtext solo part enclosedFull score & parts (BA7881) and two-Piano reduction (BA7881-90) available for sale

The Parade of the Tin Soldiers is a jolly march composed originally for Piano and recorded many times over the decades. Each Christmas season at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan the Rockettes perform a traditional danceroutine to the tune. Of particular charm is the moment near the end when the soldiers fall down in a long chromatic scale.Composer arranger conductor bandleader Kapellmeister Leon Jessel was active in his native Germany fromthe late 1800?s until the rise of Nazism ended his career in the 1920?s. Before that he had worked extensively as a musician and created Germany?s most beloved operetta Schwarzwaldmädel (Black Forest Girl) and others almost aspopular.
