Par BARNES LARRY. Cloud Breathing by Larry Barnes, for Oboe and Piano. Cloud breathing is a technique in Chinese martial arts involving short, sharp inhaling breaths and a slow exhale to oxygenate the body in preparation for fighting, meditation and healing. In this work, the piano begins in the upper register with tones like wind chimes, with the oboe entering beneath. This meditative first section leads to sudden shifts in harmony under a quiet oboe melody. Activity increases, leading to an oboe cadenza and a fast section based on rapid repeated notes in the oboe with the piano accompanying with contrapuntal lines. A brief piano solo leads to fragments of melody from the slow opening, now transformed. After a fortissimo climax, the quiet wind chime opening suddenly returns. The music gradually regains momentum to break into a bright Lydian climax and a strong close. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Hautbois et Piano

Philip Herbert is a British composer based in Leicester. This delightful and wistful piece started life as a dance project with choreographer Henry Oguike and was first performed in its entirety in 2013 in Leicester as part of Black History Month. This slightly abridged version gives the Oboe a singing line of great beauty. Herbert himself notes that he combines 'hypnotic and expressive melismas in the melodic line supported by the accompaniment supplied by the Piano which draws on the influence of minimalism and chordal figuration that is to be found in some of the keyboard preludes of J.S. Bach'. The E flat section in the middle providessome contrast and the delicately ornamented ending brings the piece to a calm conclusion. The metronome mark should be carefully noted so that the piece floats and flows nicely without getting stuck and indulgent.

An Evening in the Village was composed in 1908 as no. 5 of the Ten Easy Piano Pieces. It has become one of Bartók's favorite works which the composer himself was fond of playing at recitals. As he explained in an American interview it was ''an original composition that is ... with themes of my own invention but ... the themes are in the style of the Hungarian-Transylvanian folk tunes. There are two themes. The first one is a parlando-rubato-rhythm and the second one is more in a dance-like rhythm. The second one is more or less the imitation of a peasant flute playing.'' Bartók also orchestrated the piece in 1931 as no. 1 of HungarianSketches. In 2015 we are launching a series entitled Bartók Transcriptions for Music Students to mark the 70th anniversary of the composer’s death. This involves reissuing our tried publications and publishing some further new transcriptions that fulfill in every respect the strict aesthetic demands of the earlier ones. We trust these publications will allow us to introduce still more music students to the realm of one of the great geniuses of 20th-century music.

Ausgewählte Werke für den Junior- und D1-Bereich. Par SCHOONENBEEK / PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKI / FRANZ JO. Starke Töne ist eine Sammlung, die in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bläserjugend des Bundes Deutscher Blasmusikverbände (BDB) entstanden ist. Die Sammlung enthält eine Auswahl der beliebtesten Titel aus den Literaturlisten zum Jungmusiker-Leistungsabzeichen Bronze (D1) bzw. Junior. Die Vorteile liegen dabei klar auf der Hand: Die Instrumentalisten sparen mit diesem Buch nicht nur wertvolle Vorbereitungszeit, sondern auch bares Geld, denn wer fruüher mehrere Hefte anschaffen musste, hat mit Starke Töne bereits das Beste in einem Band versammelt. Somit befriedigt diese Ausgabe eine lang bestehende Nachfrage. In jeder Ausgabe ist jedes Stuück mit einerKlavierbegleitung notiert; urspruüngliche Solostuücke wurden eigens mit einer neu komponierten Begleitung versehen. Der Klavierpart ist in der Regel einfach bis mittelschwer, sodass die Begleitung auch von fortgeschrittenen Klavierschuülern uübernommen werden kann. Ein großer Vorteil fuür die Vorbereitung auf die praktischen Leistungspruüfungen ist die jedem Heft beiliegende CD, welche die auf einem echten Konzertfluügel aufgenommenen Klavierbegleitungen enthält. Neben Einspielungen im Originaltempo sind die meisten Stuücke zum leichteren Einstudieren auch in einer weiteren Version im langsameren Tempo zu hören. Mit Starke Töne ist in Zusammenarbeit mit dem BDB eine wertvolle Sammlung fuür alle Blasinstrumente und Klavier sowie fuür Schlagzeug entstanden, die selbstverständlich auch unabhängig von den Leistungsabzeichen das Unterrichts- und Vortragsrepertoire fuür jede dieser Besetzungen bereichert. / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / Hautbois et Piano
