from Children's Corner. Par BIRTEL WOLFGANG. The famous Golliwogg’s Cakewalk is the final piece from Debussy's cycle Children’s Corner which consists of 6 miniatures for piano, written for his daughter in the years 1906-1908. The style corresponds to that of ragtime, a dance which was in vogue around the turn of the century. In the middle section, he parodies several times the beginning of the opera Tristan and Isolde by Richard Wagner with whom Debussy had a rather ambiguous relationship. The present arrangement now allows musicians to play the popular movement in a version for piano trio./ Répertoire / Trio avec Piano

Nr. 7 Aus Jazz-Like. Partita Für Klavier. Par SCHULHOFF ERWIN. Der österreichisch-ungarische Komponist Erwin Schulhoff (1894?1942) war musikalisch frühreif: Auf Empfehlung Antonín Dvoráks erhielt er Klavierunterricht mit sieben Jahren, wurde mit zehn Jahren Schüler im Prager Konservatorium. Weitere Klavierstudien in Wien, Köln und Leipzig sowie Kompositionsunterricht bei Max Reger ergänzten seine Ausbildung. Seine jüdische Herkunft, durch die seine Musik als ?entartet? diffamiert wurde, und seine Sympathie für den Kommunismus kosteten ihm allerdings das Leben: In Prag und schließlich im bayerischen Wülzburg bei Weißenburg interniert, starb er an Tuberkulose. Schulhoffs musikalische Bedeutung liegt in der Integration des Jazz in die Kunstmusik, etwa in seinem Oratorium H.M.S. Royal Oak oder in seiner Hot Sonate für Alt-Saxophon und Klavier. Er selbst verdiente sich lange Zeit seinen Lebensunterhalt als Jazzpianist. Im August 1922 entstanden vier kurze Klavierstücke, seine Rag Music, denen er im November noch vier weitere Sätze hinzufügte: veröffentlicht als Partita, die auch als Jazz-like-Partita bekannt wurde ? mit den damaligen Modetänzen Ragtime, Foxtrott, Shimmy, Boston und ? als Nr. 7 ? ein Tango. Vom Klavier- in einen Streichquartett-Satz gewandelt, präsentiert sich das Arrangement als ein delikates und pfiffiges, spieltechnisch nicht allzu schwieriges Bonbon, geeignet als Abwechslung oder Zugabe in einem Quartett-Programm. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes
