36 Original Piano Pieces Instrument : piano Nombre de Pages : 72 The music teacher and pianist Monika Twelsiek adds a new selection of piano works around the subject of Night and Dreams to the Piano Classics series. At any time, the night was a theme in literature, art and music. 'Night' and 'Dream' are emotional images which evoke vastly different emotions in different people. The night is a place of peace and security, of longing and love, of secrets, imagination and dreams. But night also means strangeness, loneliness, fear, danger and crime. The collection 'Night and Dreams' with works from the Romantic piano literature to new contemporary sounds tries to capture all of these nightly emotions. Apart from a plethora of folk-song-like lullabies, numerous fantastic dream pieces and descriptions of dangerous night scenes have been added to the collection. An alluring mixture of imagination and reality, for advanced piano pupils and lovers of piano music. Content : P. Zilcher: Lullaby, op. 93/4 - G. Nevada: A Little Dreamy - A.

This Rondo was written around the same time as the Piano Concertos in A major (K. 488) and c minor (K. 491). In the course of the work a theme from the third movement of the Piano Quartet in g minor (K. 478)is taken up and further developed. In spite of its considerable length and its musical depth the work was apparently not published during the composer?s lifetime. The dedication ?Pour Mad:selle Charlotte de W?? (the rest isindecipherable) is an enigma. No matter which lady Mozart had in mind this rondo is today one of his best loved and most played Piano works. Our single edition follows the musical text in the revised volume of his Pianoworks (HN 22) published in Mozart Year 2006.

Errors have been corrected and distinctive traits of Schulhoff?s notation retained.Erwin Schulhoff was a German-speaking composer who was born in Prague in 1894 and died in the Nazi concentration camp in Wülzburg (Bavaria) in 1942. In the 1920s he returnedto his native Prague to teach at the local conservatory. His compositions with their blend of traditional genres jazz syncopations dance rhythms and moderately expanded tonality were fully attuned to the tenor of the times.First Urtext edition of these jazz-inspired works for Piano.Foreword (Ger/Cz/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng).

This collection of Rummel's J.S. Bach 'adaptations' for the Piano presents twelve titles from the original twenty-five originally published by J & W Chester between 1922 and 1938, demonstrating a range of styles from the contemplative Liebster Jesu, Wir Sind Hier to the uninhibited Sturze zu Boden. A close friend of Debussy, Rummel belonged to a younger generation of leading composers, leading a trend away from previous Keyboard transcribers, established by Busoni, Liszt, Reger and others who concentrated on adapting Bach's Organ works rather than the Vocal music. <br>This vibrant collection is suitable for intermediate to advanced pianists but will be of interest to all who enjoy Bach's music for Keyboard. <br>Born in Berlin to a diversely creative family, Walter Rummel (1887 - 1953) was surrounded by art and music from an early age. He came from a pedigree of distinguished musicians, his family home a favoured meeting place for musicians and artists alike. His great grandfather, Christian Rummel (1787 - 1849) was director of the court orchestra at Wiesbaden for Duke Wilhelm of Nassau and his maternal grandfather, Samuel Morse (1791 - 1892), the American painter and inventor of the telegraph. / [J.S.

Les musiques de Nuit instrumentales du XVIIIe siècle, destinées à être jouées en plein air, sont à l'origine du Nocturne. Mozart et Haydn ont composé des Notturni pour divers ensembles. Cependant, John Field est considéré comme le créateur du Nocturne pour piano. Chopin le tenait en grande estime et faisait souvent travailler à ses élèves les Nocturnes de ce pianiste et compositeur irlandais au même titre que les siens pour qu'ils se familiarisent avec le legato et qu'ils acquièrent un beau son. Frédéric Chopin compose 21 Nocturnes. L'année de composition de chaque Nocturne ne peut pas toujours être certifiée avec précision mais celle de leur publication est une référence exacte. Trois Nocturnes ont été édités après sa mort. Chopin a l'âme romantique et la musique de ses Nocturnes en exprime les états. L'ambiance crépusculaire est en effet propice aux tendres épanchements, à la mélancolie, aux improvisations poétiques et musicales, comme le dialogue de la Muse et du Poète dans la Nuit de Mai d'Alfred de Musset. Tout en conservant une forme classique (forme Lied A.B.A. généralement), Chopin s'éloigne de la romance et sublimise le Nocturne par son inspiration et son sens pianistique: la mélodie, influencée par le bel canto italien est plus ample et se développe en variations ornementales expressives, souvent chromatiques - l'harmonie est plus raffinée et plus audacieuse par ses dissonances et les dessins d'accompagnement de la basse en forme d'arpèges ou d'accords brisés sont plus ingénieux. Les Nocturnes de Chopin ont beaucoup contribué à sa célébrité et, malgré les difficultés techniques de certains, ils apparaissent comme une bonne introduction à la connaissance et à l'étude de ses autres oeuvres.
