Tijdens zijn loopbaan als concertorganist speelde Rob Goorhuis talloze malen de Sonata da Chiesa van Hendrik Andriessen, een werk dat typisch is voor de stijl en het coloriet van deze Nederlandse organist-componist. De betekenis van Andriessen voor de Nederlandse kerkmuziek is zeer groot geweest. Vele koor- en orgelwerken ontstonden in de bloeitijd van het rijke Roomse leven. Als eerbetoon aan deze kunstenaar, die destijds als organist van de kathedraal van Utrecht talrijke luisteraars trok met zijn kleurrijke en vernieuwende orgelbespelingen, schreef Rob Goorhuis een fantasie over het thema van diens Sonata da Chiesa. Deze Sonata bestond uit een reeksvariaties op een zelf ontworpen thema. De sfeer van het werk reikt van zeer intiem tot uiterst uitbundig. Deze uitersten heeft Rob Goorhuis in z jn interpretatie en verwerking van het thematisch materiaal eveneens opgezocht. De vroomheid en luister van het orgel werden echter vervangen door de passie en de virtuositeit van een modern blaasorkest. De band met het originele werk van Andriessen wordt onderstreept door een aantal, soms licht verborgen, citaten van bijzondere muzikale wendingen. De handtekening van de oude meester blijft zo herkenbaar. Op deze manier toont Rob Goorhuis zijn bewondering voor diens componeertalent. Het werk werd geschreven in opdracht van fanfare Kunst en Vriendschap Partij-Wittem onder leiding van Paul Oligschläger ter gelegenheid van de deelname aan het Wereld Muziek Concours Kerkrade in 2009.

There are many composers about whom it is believed, today, that they composed conservatively, or against the taste of their time. The question is also raised, today, which extract of this large amount of effective and high-quality music, unknown for the most part, should receive our attention; which of it is worth rediscovering or re-editing. Camillo Schumann is one of the most important representatives of these composers, but his works are still largely unknown today. He was born on 10 March 1872 in Konigstein, Saxony. His musical language combines the sound world of Brahms with the grand, late-romantic Liszt School. He wrote piano parts of incredible power and virtuosity, approaching the sounds of Rachmaninoff. His wonderfully individual melodic language makes these works a valuable testimony to a composer who never had his due recognition. The cello sonatas Opp. 59 (EB 32082) and 99 (EB 32083) are the first of three works for this combination. Op. 59 was composed around 1905/06, Op. 99 followed in 1932. Nothing is known so far of the circumstances of the composition of this work, including for whom it was composed. However, it is quite evident that Schumann wrote it, like most of his works, primarily for his own concerts and befriended musicians. The extensive entries in the piano part bear witness to a considerably practical approach. Crossed-out bars, notes added or crossed out in chords as well as a number of revisions of other kinds are more the rule than the exception. The composer's own fingerings written in the piano part also underline this assumption. The present edition contains two solo-parts each. One clean Urtext-part free of any additions from the editor and a second one with bowing marks and fingerings by Maria Kliegel who recorded both sonatas for the first time with the label Naxos. Both sonatas show evident resemblance to the works of this combination by Johannes Brahms and are therefore a must have for ambitious cellists.With supplementary violoncello part marked by Maria Kliegel.

The three so-called War Sonatas Nos. 6-8 were composed in the years 1939-1944, while Prokofiev was evacuated from Moscow to Kazakhstan and the Caucasus. The reference to the siege of Leningrad was a prerequisite for the success of the compositions, which continue the tradition of Beethoven rather than conforming to the stylistic maxims of socialist realism in force at the time. The first movement of Sonata No. 6 is characterized by blatant dissonances, noise effects and merciless rhythms. In the second movement, the 'cruel seriousness' is replaced by dance-like verve in a cheerful march with spirited variations on the theme. The work is suitable for advanced pianists.

Among Vienna’s many composers and pianists of the time, Anton Eberl (1765–1807) was the one considered most worthy of comparison with Beethoven. His Sonata in F major, Op.49, is probably the first of his seven sonatas with violin, and was published posthumously in Vienna the year after his March 1807 death.

I have always been fond of writing works for specific people or organizations. It has been my good fortune during most of my creative career to be asked to compose for many extraordinary performers. The Sonata for Harpsichord Solo is such a case in point: it was written in 1982 for Barbara Harbach, a superb performer, close friend, and collaborator on many musical projects. The Sonata was premiered on March 2, 1984, in a recital given by Dr. Harbach at Nazareth College in Rochester, New York. During my formative years as a composer, one seldom heard of the harpsichord as a modern instrument, though while I attended undergraduate school at Boston University, some of us banded together to construct a small harpsichord from one of the first do-it-yourself kits which began to appear in the late '40s. It was also during this time that I heard the Sonatina for Violin and Harpsichord by my teacher Walter Piston and consequently specified that the accompanying instrument for my second violin sonata could either be a piano or a harpsichord. It was not until recently, however, that my interest in the harpsichord as a solo instrument for new music was aroused. This was because of the emergence of so many young virtuosi, such as Barbara Harbach, who are interested in the performance of new music besides the great harpsichord music of the Classical, Baroque, and pre-Baroque eras. The keyboard music of Domenico Scarlatti has always intrigued and fascinated me. The brevity, excitement, and clarity of this sparkling music is charming as well as exhilarating. It is this type of Baroque sonata that inspired the conception and form of my harpsichord sonata. The entire work is loosely based on the musical translation of Barabara Harbach's name, especially the conflict of the B (B-flat) and H (B-natural in German notation). This secondo rub or dissonance especially pervades the first movement, which is in a modified sonata form, pitting jagged and tense melodic elements against most lyrical and smooth lines. This second movement is a song-like melody accompanied by rolled chords which may be played on the lute stop of the instrument if this sonata is performed on a two-manual harpsichord. The final movement is an ever-driving joyous toccata which brings the work to an exciting close with a coda made up of accelerating repeated chords. --Samuel Adler.
