Instrumentation : Pf/4h Crossing Borders is a new progressive series of volumes designed to introduce the developing pianist to a broad range of popular music, including jazz, blues, rock and pop. Most of the pieces are original, written by Remo Vinciguerra, and the series as a whole is intended to be used as a lively and entertaining parallel to the standard classical training. The rhythmic, melodic and harmonic fingerprints of a wide range of popular styles are gradually introduced, yet a classical spirit or framework can also be recognised in much of the music. In accordance with the relative freedom typical of popular music, many interpretative decisions, especially concerning dynamics and pedalling, are left to the players. Tempo indications are for guidance only, and need not be taken too literally.

for Piano/4 Hands. Par DIEMER EMMA. This three-movement suite was written for Tachell Gerbert and Bradley Gregory. The work is based fragmentally on the tune from the popular song written in 1914 by Harry Carrell and Henry Attenridge, which is appropriate as the composer's inspiration is the Pacific Ocean, located a few miles from her home in Santa Barbara. The movements are not meant to be impressionistic imaginings of the ocean, but rather moods intrinsically related to the happiness, sometimes nostalgia, of the melody and the romance, the idea of being by the sea with someone you love. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Works For Piano Duet-'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions the eclecticism of good taste charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Fauré's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mère l’Oye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole Selfiana. The Variations puériles sur une mélodie de CarlReinecke manifest a free whimsical vein whereas the Trois préludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from a handwritten score the Variations sur un thème de Charles Levadé end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Pièce en forme d’aria et Bergerie from 1896 finely polished takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale popular in the 17th century.
