Jussim takes us to cities that have become famous through their music, or, more precisely, through their rhythms.

ISBN 9790004183991. 9 x 12 inches.

Many cities around the world are celebrated for their unique beauty, their breathtaking sights or their historical significance. These elements also often go hand in hand. What is much less frequent is to showcase a city from the perspective of its music. This is precisely the path taken here by Stadte und Rhythmen on its journey to cities that have become famous through their music, or, more precisely, through their rhythms, and from where dances such as the polka, the waltz, the tarantella and others began their triumphant march through music history. Igor Jussim, known for his Blues Collection (EB 8718), fashions the pieces in Stadte und Rhythmen after characteristic patterns. He highlights the selected rhythms in a musical idiom and form that encourage the players access to these rhythms. Igor Jussim livre des morceaux originaux qui ne manquent pas de dynamisme.

Bohemian Rhapsody is undoubtedly one of the most important songs in the history of rock 'n' roll. The song defied all convention in terms of form. It has no chorus. Instead, it comprised of an introduction, ballad, guitar solo, operatic interlude, hard rock section and coda. Perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the song is the lyrics, which are commonly thought to be autobiographical, although members of the band have never fully explained them. Bring the house down with Philip Sparke's authentic arrangement!

Bohemian Rhapsody wordt vaak gezien als het belangrijkste nummer uit de geschiedenis van de rockmuziek. Naast de nooit verklaarde raadselachtige tekst, was het vooral de ongewone vorm die tot op de dag van vandaag voor het grote succeszorgde. Het nummer kent geen refrein, maar bestaat uit vijf afzonderlijke delen: inleiding, ballad, gitaarsolo, hardrock en slot. Philip Sparke is met zijn arrangement zo dicht mogelijk bij het origineel gebleven. Grotesk!

Bohemian Rhapsody wird oft als der bedeutendste Song in der Geschichte des Rock bezeichnet. Neben dem nie erklarten ratselhaften Text trug vor allem die ungewohnliche Form zum heute noch andauernden Erfolg des Liedes bei: Es hat keinen Refrain, sondern besteht aus den Abschnitten Einleitung, Ballade, Gitarrensolo, Hardrock und Schluss. Philip Sparke versuchte, in seiner Version von Bohemian Rhapsody so nahe wie moglich am Original zu bleiben.

Bohemian Rhapsody est souvent mentionne comme le titre le plus important dans l'histoire du Rock. Ecrite par Freddie Mercury, cette chanson defie toutes les normes jusque-la respectees. Elle se compose de six sections bien distinctes: introduction, ballade, solo de guitare, parties opera et hard rock ainsi qu'un finale. L'arrangement pour orchestre d'harmonie de Philip Sparke reste conforme a la version originale. Succes garanti!

Bohemian Rhapsody e spesso menzionato come il titolo piu importante nella storia della musica rock. Scritta da Freddie Mercury, questa canzone sfida tutti i canoni fino a allora rispettati. Si compone di sei sezioni ben distinte: introduzione, ballata, assolo di chitarra, parti classiche e rock ed un finale. L'arrangiamento per banda di Philip Sparke e fedele all'originale.

Bartók composed the Sonatina for solo piano in his 'Romanian year' of 1915; this was when he also composed the set of Romanian Folk Dances and the Romanian Christmas Carols. In this relatively short piano piece (lasting three to four minutes), the composer used instrumental folk music collected in Transylvania. In the first movement, Bartók conjures up two bagpipes, and, in the second, a fiddler playing for a bear dance. The first edition of the Sonatina was published by Rózsavölgyi in 1919, and the composer premieredthe work in 1920 in Pozsony (Bratislava). This separate print is based on volume 38 of the Bartók Complete Critical Edition published in 2019, in which Henle Verlag of Munichand Editio Musica Budapest published the piano works composed between 1914 and 1920. The musical text is accompanied by a preface in English and Hungarian by László Somfai, and by editorial remarks which not only discuss the sources but also offer practical advice for performers. Contents: 1. Bagpipers 2. Bear Dance 3. Finale.

Entrare nell'universo del canto e ritrovare se stessi, la propria dimensione piu autentica e profonda, che comprende anche quella espressiva.
Esistono due modi di cantare: imitando dall'esterno dei suoni oppure scoprendo la propria vera voce e lasciandola risuonare liberamente. Solo il secondo modo dona quel senso euforico di apertura dell'essere, di elevazione e di liberazione, che spinge tante persone sulla strada del canto, ma purtroppo al giorno d'oggi e soprattutto il primo modo a essere proposto e propagandato.
Ogni epoca ha un'immagine, un simbolo che ne rappresenta lo spirito, l'essenza. Il 'meccanismo' e l'immagine in cui ancora si rispecchia e si esprime la modernita del Duemila.
Come i bambini sono convinti che nella radio si nasconda un omino che ci parla dentro, cosi i moderni didatti e scienziati del canto sono convinti che nel corpo si nasconda una macchina vocale che puo entrare in funzione solo leggendo i libretti di istruzione, da loro predisposti. I risultati di questa convinzione si possono sentire nelle scuole di canto e nei teatri...
Si dice che il corpo diventi cio che uno vi introduce mangiando. Analogamente il cantante diventa cio che egli immagina cantando. Se immagina muscoli e cartilagini, il suo canto non potra che essere, per definizione, muscolare e laringeo.
In effetti il canto e si una disciplina del corpo, ma e una disciplina che si apprende educando la mente e non i singoli muscoli. Questa educazione inizia acquisendo la capacita di prendere coscienza delle varie sensazioni vitali e di evocarle cantando. Queste e non le immagini foniatriche delle corde vocali o dei vari muscoli rappresentano la vera tastiera del cantante.
In verita le tastiere meccanicistiche non sono che le gabbie in cui i cantanti inconsapevolmente rinchiudono la loro voce, e ogni anatomia della voce si trasforma ben presto in autopsia della voce...
<>, ha scritto Eraclito venticinque secoli fa. Altrettanto dicasi dell'insperabile del vero canto, detto anche belcanto.

La Sonate n° 6 Kharkiv pour guitare solo a été composée en 2021, à la fin du confinement lié au COVID-19. � ce moment-là, ma famille et moi étions restés dans notre ville natale de Kharkiv (également connue sous le nom de Kharkov), en Ukraine, pendant près de deux ans. Nous considérions cette période de pandémie comme un désastre, mais nous avons réalisé plus tard que c'était en fait un moment plutôt heureux, car la guerre est arrivée dans notre pays quelques mois plus tard. Depuis 2022, une fraction considérable des 1,5 million de citoyens de Kharkiv ont quitté leur foyer, ceux qui sont restés vivent sous des attaques incessantes de missiles, et beaucoup ont été tués. Je voudrais dédier cette Sonate à la ville frontalière de Kharkiv et, surtout, à ses citoyens souffrant de la guerre.

Pourtant, la musique de la Sonate n'a aucun programme spécifique. Ici, je donnerai un bref aperçu de ses principaux éléments de composition pour faciliter les interprétations futures.

Les premier et quatrième mouvements de cette Sonate sont basés sur l'interaction entre le principe dodécaphonique et le centre tonal de sol majeur, naturel pour la guitare. En particulier, le premier mouvement est basé sur l'interaction de la triade de sol majeur Solâ??Siâ??Ré des cordes de guitare à vide 2â??3â??4, le motif ascendant 1 impliquant les notes Miâ??Fa#â??Laâ??Do# (à l'origine sur la première corde), et le motif descendant 2 utilisant les notes Miâ??Doâ??Sibâ??La (à l'origine sur la corde de basse 6). Ces éléments se complètent presque pour former douze tons (à l'exception du Fa manquant), et les motifs alternent avec des fragments ostinato où chaque note de la triade de sol majeur est déplacée pas à pas d'un demi-ton vers le haut ou vers le bas.

Le deuxième mouvement est un Scherzo impliquant de nombreux demi-tons dans des accords accentués et des passages rapides, ainsi qu'un mouvement mélodique chromatique dans la voix de basse. Il est presque atonal dans certains fragments, mais a un centre tonal global de la mineur.

Le troisième mouvement est un Adagio méditatif basé sur un thème composé dans l'échelle hexatonique Réâ??Miâ??Faâ??Sol#â??Laâ??Si et des accords ostinato impliquant les cordes de basse à vide Miâ??Laâ??Ré et le demi-ton Siâ??Do.

Enfin, le quatrième mouvement est basé sur le thème dodécaphonique complet composé de deux phrases comprenant les motifs 1 et 2 du premier mouvement : Solâ??Faâ??Sibâ??Labâ??Doâ??Mibâ??Ré et Miâ??Siâ??Do#â??Laâ??Fa#. Ce thème est présenté dans ses formes prime et rétrograde. Il y a des dialogues entre la première corde, les basses et les cordes médianes à vide, similaires au premier mouvement. Ã? son apogée, le thème dodécaphonique est interprété en utilisant le mouvement parallèle de l'accord de sol majeur standard de la guitare avec les cordes médianes à vide sur douze positions.

La Sonate a été créée en première et enregistrée (CD Naxos No. 8.574630) par le célèbre guitariste ukrainien Marko Topchii, qui a également vécu et étudié à Kharkiv. Je lui suis extrêmement reconnaissant pour l'interprétation brillante de cette pièce.

Je suis très redevable envers Productions d'Oz d'avoir conservé mes notations originales là où celles-ci ne correspondent pas au style de l'éditeur.

Sonata No. 6 Kharkiv for guitar solo was composed in 2021, in the end of the COVID-19 lockdown. At that time my family and I were staying in our home city of Kharkiv (also known as Kharkov), Ukraine for almost two years. We considered that pandemic period as a disaster, but later have realized that it actually was a rather happy time, because a war came to our homeland just a few months later. Since 2022 a considerable fraction of the 1.5 millions of Kharkiv citizens have left their homes, those who stayed have been living under ceaseless missile attacks, and many have been killed. I would like to dedicate this Sonata to the frontier city of Kharkiv and, most of all, to its citizens suffering from the war.
Yet, the music of the Sonata does not have any specific program. Here I will give a brief overview of its main composition elements to facilitate future interpretations.
The first and fourth movements of this Sonata are based on the interplay between the twelve-tone principle and the G-major tonal center, natural for the guitar. Namely, the first movement is based on the interaction of the G-major triad Gâ??Bâ??D of the open guitar strings 2â??3â??4, ascending motif 1 involving the notes Eâ??F#â??Aâ??C# (originally on the first string), and descending motif 2 using the notes E-â??Câ??Bbâ??A- (originally, on the bass string 6). These elements supplement each other to almost make up twelve tones (apart from the missing F), and the motifs alternate with ostinato fragments where each note in the G major triad is step-by-step moved by a semitone up or down.
The second movement is a Scherzo involving numerous semitones in accented chords and fast passages, as well as chromatic melodic motion in the bass voice. It is almost atonal in some fragments, but has an overall tonal center of A-minor.
The third movement is a meditative Adagio based on a theme composed within hexatonic scale Dâ??Eâ??Fâ??G#â??Aâ??B and ostinato chords involving open bass strings Eâ??Aâ??D and semitone Bâ??C.
Finally, the fourth movement is based on the complete twelve-tone theme consisting of two phrases including motifs 1 and 2 from the first movement: Gâ??Fâ??Bbâ??Abâ??Câ??Ebâ??D and Eâ??Bâ??C#â??Aâ??F#. This theme is presented in its prime and retrograde forms. There are dialogues between the first string, basses and open middle strings, similar to the first movement. In the culmination, the twelve-tone theme is performed using the parallel motion of the standard guitar G-major chord with open middle strings across twelve positions.
The Sonata was premiered and recorded (CD Naxos No. 8.574630) by the prominent Ukrainian guitarist Marko Topchii who has also lived and studied in Kharkiv. I am extremely grateful to him for the brilliant performance of this piece.
I am greatly indebted to Productions dâ??Oz for keeping my original notations in places where these do not conform to the publisherâ??s style.
