Ravel's plans for a piano concerto can be traced back to 1906, but it was only in early 1929 that the composer seriously started work on one. He later stated that he wrote it âin the spirit of the concertos by Mozart and Saint-Saënsâ, the music being âcheerful and brilliantâ and not âaiming for profundity or dramatic effectsâ. The outer movements are characterised by rhythmic drive and borrowings from jazz; while the slow movement, with its subtle shifts of accented beats, is entirely dedicated to melody. Alongside manuscripts and prints, a recording made under Ravel's supervision by the work's dedicatee, Marguerite Long, was consulted for this Henle Urtext edition. Since its successful premiere in January 1932 the concerto has been part of the repertoire of all great pianists, including Pascal Rogé, the French music expert who has provided the fingerings for the solo part.

On her 34th birthday, Clara Schumann was not only given a grand piano by her husband, but the latest music material as well. Among them was the one-movement Concert-Allegro with Introduction for Pianoforte and Orchestra Op. 134 in which the dominance of the solo instrument is even stronger than in the previous composition Introduction and Allegro appassionato Op. 92 which also consists of one movement only. With both works, Schumann continued the reformation of the solo concerto genre as intended.

Ferran Cruixent's “Binary†was commissioned by the ARD International Music Competition. The work is dedicated to a 56k Modem device. The world premiere was given during the course of the competition on 8 September 2015 at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (University of Music and Performing Arts) in Munich. “Binary†for two pianos is a one-movement work, inspired by the composer's fascination about the dangers in human dependence in technological business, such as the obsession about media in today's mechanized and computerized society. The name Binary refers to a digital representation of text and data, whose unit can take only two possible states. Binary code is a mathematical, technological language, developed by ourselves: an organic language that creates another to be described and discovered for itself. In this piece the players are asked to play in special techniques, such as “Cyber Singing†(introduced 2010 in composer's symphonic work “Cyborgâ€). “Cyber Singing†introduces a new musical technique: the audio file prepared by the composer himself is played by themusician from his mobile phone, a device commonly used for other purposes. So, it defines a new possibility of interaction between the composer and the musician, attaining genuine communication itself.

Lauri Kilpiö's (b. 1974) Six Winter Scenes for two pianos (2022) was commissioned by Joensuu Conservatory. The nostalgic memories and different impressions of winter take the technical abilities of the performers into consideration. The short, hazy movement I Blue Dusk Descends brings the winter. The other move-ments include the bright movement II Echoes in a Snowy Forest, the toccata-style movement III Ride through a Blizzard, the glitteringly impressionistic movement IV Ice Skating on the River, the enigmatic movement V Birds on the Snowdrift, and the energetic movement VI Woken Bear Rock, which brings the spring.The suite can be performed in its entirety at a time, or it is also possible to perform only individual movements of it. The same piano duo may perform the whole work, or the performers may also change between the movements.Duration: 14'Osat / MovementsI Sininen hämärä laskeutuu | Blue Dusk DescendsII Kaiut lumisessa metsässä |Echoes in a Snowy ForestIII Ratsastus läpi pyryn | Ride through a BlizzardIV Luistelu joella | Ice Skating on the RiverV Linnut hangella | Birds on the SnowdriftVI Heränneen karhun rock | Woken Bear RockThis product includes one performance score (both piano parts in the same score).

The two pianos introduce the bass motif one after another. Every new entry brings an increase in tempo. Only when they play together, though, is the real 'Vivace unleashed. From then on, it is only in the 'largamente' sections and a lyrical middle section (cantabile) that the racing bass figure pauses for a while. The motif weaves its way through the course of the 'Toccata' like a 'perpetuum mobile', bringing ever more complex layering to the structure of the movement. The Latvian composer Peteris Vasks has described himself as a 'musician from the periphery' on account of his geographical and cultural background. His music full of emotional rigour continues to bring him towards the centre of contemporary composition, as is evident in his instrumental chamber works.

Bach's harpsichord concertos have proven extremely popular, though several were originally written as concertos for another solo instrument â either violin or a woodwind instrument. But we know nothing about any such preliminary versions in the case of the A-major Concerto BWV 1055. Its enchantingly songlike middle movement inevitably makes one think of the oboe d�amore, though there is in fact no reason to suppose that its idiomatic, spirited harpsichord writing was conceived from the outset for anything but a keyboard instrument. Ultimately, this music is so fresh and irresistible that all such speculation is irrelevant. For this Henle Urtext edition of the A-major Concerto, we consulted the autograph score and especially the original orchestral parts that presumably contain the musical text of the concerto as Bach himself performed it. You can�t get more authentic than this! The piano reduction contains the solo part with carefully chosen fingerings by Michael Schneidt, plus a piano accompaniment that Johannes Umbreit has arranged so as to be practical and easily playable.

This impressive concert work is a frank dialogue between the players. The four movements are of contrasting character, but always in a conversational style. Jaffe was one of four finalists in the 1991 Friedheim competition. For colleges, conservatories, professionals. Difficult.
