The Concerto for piano and wind instruments, created in the last stage of the life of Antonio Ruiz-Pipó (1934-1997), certainly is one of his most outstanding compositions. Expressive, yet at the same time characterized by great precision and economy of means, the work is written in the tradition of Manuel de Falla. Pianist and ensemble, especially the woodwind players, are equally faced with technical challenges. The present version with the accompaniment of the soloist by a second piano is suitable for duo recitals and makes it possible for musicians to get to know this remarkable piece which was performed by the composer himself as a soloist at the world premiere in 1989. / 2 Pianos

Arrangeur: Andrew Seigel. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. One of Antonio Vivaldi's most oft-performed works, the Concerto, RV 537, originally for two trumpets and strings has been adapted here for two E-flat clarinets and piano. To better suit the range of the clarinets, the whole work has been transposed to the key of E-flat Major. Included in the set of parts are two different versions of the solo parts: Solo parts without alterations, and solo parts including ornaments and embellishments from the arranger.

Ed. critica A. Borin - A. Moccia - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. With Il Teuzzone, RV 736, the collected edition of operas by Antonio Vivaldi gains a new volume that brings to completion the pair of operas written by the ?Red Priest? for Mantua. Premiered during the last days of 1718, the opera preceded by a few months the production of Tito Manlio, RV 738 (PR 1411). This edition of Teuzzone, the first in modern times, is based on the two complete sources to have survived: a copy originating from the composer?s own archive (Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino, Raccolta Mauro Foà 33) and the one today housed in Berlin (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ? Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Musikabteilung, N. Mus, ms. 125), which was made for the Mantuan production. Additionally, numerous secondary sources have been collated. An appendix to the volume contains the musical materials discarded by Vivaldi during the period preceding the opera?s premiere. The supporting texts for the edition report on new findings that have emerged from archival and documentary research. It has been established, for instance, that the aria Tu, mio vezzoso (I.03) is a borrowing from Alessandro Severo by Antonio Lotti, while the aria Tornerò, pupille belle (II.02) is a reworking of Nelle mie selve natie, an aria in Scanderbeg, RV 732. These examples reveal the pasticcio-like nature of this Vivaldi opera. In the section concerned with the description of the sources, which includes a meticulous codicological examination of the source in Turin, a bold attempt has been made to reconstruct the phases that the composition of Vivaldi?s opera underwent, an operation that sheds light on the inner workings of Vivaldi?s atelier. In addition, the close relationship of this score to a work with the same title staged in Turin with music by G. Casanova and A. S. Fiorè is analysed./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

Par RUIZ-PIPO ANTONIO. Un thème simple folk-song inspiré le compositeur espagnol et le pianiste Antonio Ruiz-Pipó (1934-97) pour écrire des variations de piano 13, dans lequel il reprend la richesse des couleurs, d'humour et de virtuosité d'Albéniz ou Ravel./ Répertoire / Piano

Les quatre saisons (opus 8, n° 1-4) est un ensemble de quatre concertos pour violon soliste et orchestre de chambre à cordes, composé par Antonio Vivaldi, et qui ouvre le recueil La bataille entre l'harmonie et l'invention. Bien qu?édité en 1725 à Amsterdam, la composition de ces quatre concertos est certainement antérieure de quelques années.

Cette ?uvre est l'une des plus représentative du genre Concerto, c'est aussi certainement la composition la plus connue d?Antonio Vivaldi.
Le printemps est le nom que porte le concerto n° 1 en mi majeur (op. 8, RV 269). Il est se compose de trois mouvements : Allegro, Largo, Allegro.
Son introduction, comme le troisième mouvement de l'?uvre (L?Été), sont les passages les plus célèbres de cet opus.
Sur la partition, le compositeur précise les correspondances avec les poèmes, il va même jusqu'à expliciter certains détails (aboiements de chien, noms d'oiseaux : coucou, tourterelle, pinson...). L?ensemble de l??uvre est accompagnée de quatre sonnets décrivant le déroulement des saisons. Voici celui du Printemps :


Allegro
Voici le Printemps,
Que les oiseaux saluent d'un chant joyeux.
Et les fontaines, au souffle des zéphyrs,
Jaillissent en un doux murmure.


Ils viennent, couvrant l'air d'un manteau noir,
Le tonnerre et l'éclair messagers de l'orage.
Enfin, le calme revenu, les oisillons
Reprennent leur chant mélodieux.

Largo
Et sur le pré fleuri et tendre,
Au doux murmure du feuillage et des herbes,
Dort le chevrier, son chien fidèle à ses pieds.

Allegro
Au son festif de la musette
Dansent les nymphes et les bergers,
Sous le brillant firmament du printemps. / Classique / Transcriptions pour piano de David Neyrolles / Partition / Agrafé /

Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Throughout his life, Antonio Vivaldi wrote almost thirty instrumental works that use the cello as a solo instrument. Vivaldi knew how to tailor his music to the cello and in doing so, helped to establish this still young instrument in the music of that time. The Concerto RV 531 is the only double concerto in Vivaldi?s ?uvre for two solo violoncellos. The two solo parts take centre stage with virtuosic passages but lie on the instrument so well that they can be comfortably mastered by advanced students. The edition is based on the careful evaluation of Vivaldi?s autograph score which is the main source and several inconsistencies found in previous editions have been clarified. At the same time the edition allows for a flexible realisation of this concerto: it can be performed by a full tutti orchestra or by one performer per part. The cello part in the basso continuo group can be played by orchestral cellists or by the soloists./ Répertoire / 2 Violoncelles et Piano

Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. L'?uvre lyrique de Vivaldi reste paradoxalement méconnue : l'extraordinaire succès rencontré par un petit nombre de concertos a éclipsé tout un pan de ses compositions, notamment les opéras, auxquels il consacra pourtant l'essentiel de sa carrière. De 1713 à 1741, Vivaldi donna le jour à une ?uvre colossale, préservée en grande partie à la bibliothèque de Turin : plus de 450 compositions manuscrites, pour la majorité autographes. Créé à Vérone en janvier 1732, pour l?inauguration du Teatro Filarmonico,cet opéra est tombé dans l?oubli, malgré la beauté et la virtuosité des arias. La redécouverte du manuscrit, conservé à la bibliothèque de Turin, a permis d?en faire une édition complète, inédite, en 2004. Le matériel d'orchestre, 'urtext', a été préparé à partir de ce manuscrit. Il a été revisé par Jean-Christophe Spinosi, directeur musical de l'ensemble Matheus, et Laurence Paugam (premier violon de l'ensemble) et enregistré par cet ensemble en 2008. Le matériel d'orchestre de l'opéra La fida ninfa est disponible en location et en réduction clavier (consulter le site des Editions Buissonnières), ainsi que les airs, individuellement. / Date parution : 2013-05-02/ Répertoire / Chant et Clavier
