a cura di Emilio Mottola e Gennaro Musella. Par ALFANO FRANCO. Le nom du compositeur italien Franco Alfano est surtout connu pour son travail de finalisation de l'opéra inachevé de Giacomo Puccini Turandot. Contemporain de Respighi il a écrit plusieurs opéras et de la musique de chambre dans un style proche du mouvement post-impressionniste et de l'approche néo-classique. Cette collection Ricordi de musique de chambre vocale de Franco Alfano constitue une partie importante de la production du compositeur napolitain. Les cinq transcriptions pour violoncelle et piano présentées ici ne sont pas seulement l'occasion pour les violoncellistes de s'essayer à une forme musicale qui n'était pas prévue à l'origine pour leur instrument mais elles sont aussi conçues pour contribuer à la redécouverte et à la revalorisation de la signification historique et musicale de l'une des figures les plus représentatives à part entière de l'Italie du vingtième siècle. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Recueil / Violoncelle et Piano

Collection dirigée par Bruno Giner L'idée du carnet, renvoie à quelque chose proche de l'intime : idées importantes, gestes essentiels, mots clés ou fulgurances sonores?Ainsi, les Carnets du 21o siècle proposent des ' coups de coeur ' ou plus exactement des ' coups d'oreille '. Des ' coups de musique ' dirons-nous, tant pour nos musiciens en herbe que pour leurs aînés, déjà confirmés mais toujours curieux et enthousiastes. Ainsi, la collection se décline à deux niveaux différents mais complémentaires : oeuvres pour l'apprentissage, oeuvres pour le concert.Les différents compositeurs qui contribuent à faire vivre ces carnets partagent - au-delà de leur langage respectif - une grande complicité musicale autant qu'humaine.Si, à l'évidence, le 21o siècle est celui qui nous survivra, le carnet est une sorte de trace, comme une mémoire de papier incarnée par des sons. / Cordes, Violoncelle Et Piano

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. C'est à la suite d'une visite au musée Paul Klee de Bern lors d'une tournée de l'ensemble intercontemporain dirigé par Pierre Boulez que j'ai décidé de composer ce duo. Inspirés par de nombreuses oeuvres du peintre-musicien allemand, ces cinq moments enchaînés sont autant d'études sur la notion de ligne, particulièrement importante pour Klee. Ainsi, la première section, la plus rhapsodique et hétérogène, est-elle une apologie d'une ligne sans cesse brisée, formée de directions claires et juxtaposées. Le violoncelle se montre lyrique, mais aussi rythmique (lors de courtes cellules en homorythmie avec le piano). C'est l'alternance entre ces deux états qui structure le discours. En opposition avec ce début, la deuxième pièce est, elle, particulièrement homogène. Le violoncelle assure un bourdon quasiment imperceptible, écrin pour le déploiement d'une ligne très volubile au piano. C'est donc la souplesse qui caractérise cette section, au cours de laquelle les deux instruments entreront progressivement en fusion timbrique. Ce flux virtuose conduit alors à une section où les deux instruments ne font encore qu'un, fondée sur des accélérations et des ralentissements écrits dans une pulsation fixe. Une ligne sinusoïdale qui hésite entre pointillisme et continuité, interrompue par un mouvement plus mystérieux, où un trémolo est échangé entre les deux instruments. Enfin, c'est une ligne circulaire qui conclut l'oeuvre, dans un tourbillon pianistique où le violoncelle agit comme résonateur puis comme partenaire-relayeur. Commandes des rencontres d'ensembles de violoncelles de Beauvais en 2007, ces Cinq pièces pour Paul Klee sont dédiées à leurs créateurs : Shani Diluka et Eric-Maria Couturier.

extrait de la musique de scène pour « Le Voyageur sans bagages »-A previously unreleased piece by Francis Poulenc published with permission from the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris and Benoît Seringe secretary of the Association des amis de Francis Poulenc [Association of the Friends of Francis Poulenc]. Le Voyageur sans bagage [The Traveller Without Luggage] which had been premiered in 1937 with music by Darius Milhaud was reprised on 1 April 1944 at the Théâtre de la Michodière; Francis Poulenc was asked to compose new stage music. The entire unpublished score lay undiscovered until Bérengère del’Épine a librarian at the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris announced the existence of a manuscript in the Association de la Régie Théâtrale collection. Poulenc finalised the score between 19 and 21 March 1944. It contains nine songs all written for a small instrumental ensemble including Oboe Clarinet Cello and Piano. However at the end of the manuscript the composer echoes the second song – Lent [Slow] – and creates another version for Cello and Piano; curiously the original version of the song has not been erased in the manuscript. Poulenc seems to suggest that we consider the piece for Cello and Piano that we have published here as a different piece of music. It was premiered on Wednesday 23 January 2013 by Marc Coppey accompanied by Jean-François Heisser in the organ auditorium of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) during the symposium for the fiftieth anniversary of Poulenc’s death. Given in a dramatic context some elements allow us to get an idea of the character of the piece which Benoît Seringe Poulenc’s beneficiary judiciously chose to name Souvenirs. The main character of Anouilh’s play Gaston is suffering from amnesia at the end of World

Original Version - Edition for Cello and Piano. Schumann?s Cello Concerto Rediscovered. In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann?s original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 ? a piece he actually called a ?Concertstück? ? removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer?s manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiello?ska in Kraków. It is presented in a beautifully printed edition for cello with Schumann?s original piano reduction. Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann?s original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Matching orchestral material available separately from Edition Peters Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from Dutton Robert Schumann?s tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann?s original conception of the work ? not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann?s health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists. Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiello?ska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann?s original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann?s original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann?s musical text, free of posthumous interventions. It is presented in a beautifully printed edition for cello, with Schumann?s original piano reduction. Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. ?My ultimate wish,? says the editor, ?is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character ? one that is lighter and happier, even ?cheerful?, as Schumann himself described the work.?

Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach was the eldest surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach and his second wife Anna Magdalena Wulcken; he was born in Leipzig in 1732. His father gave him his first music instruction. After his initial studies in law he devoted himself entirely to music. In 1750 he entered the services of Count Wilhelm zu Buckeburg where he first of all was engaged as the Count's chamber musician (Hochgraflicher Schaumburg-Lippischer Cammer-Musicus) later as orchestral director a post which he held until his death in 1795. The 'Buckeburg Bach' is described as an amiable and devout person who was highly respected and esteemed for his 'rectitude greatness of soul readiness to oblige and kindness' (Schlichtegroll Nekrolog). He was an exceedingly industrious and gifted composer in whom one couldnot fail to recognise that the spirit of his great father had also been communicated to him' (Dulon). Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach's Sonata A Violoncello Solo Col Basso appears in print for the first time with this edition. The autograph which served as source was held at the time in the University Library at Tubingen depot of the former Prussian State Library under the call-mark Mus. ms. autogr. Bach P 382 which has subsequently been moved to the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz. For practical use the accompaniment has been realised from the unfigured Bass. - Piano reduction and separte parts for Cello and Basso continuo.

In memory of Christopher Rowland. Originally a concerto for Cello and chamber orchestra now for Cello with a Piano reduction of the orchestral part.The concerto is in four movements which are played without a break: Meditation Intermezzo Toccata-Scherzo and Song. The work lasts for some 18 minutes and was scored for two oboes two horns timpani (doubling tubular bells) and strings(found here in a Cello/Piano form). It is organised in one large arch-shaped structure with two fast inner movements flanked by two outer slow ones. The solo cello opens the work reflectively and introduces core melodic material which is continuously developed throughout theconcerto. Gradually the strings enter then wind and timpani and build a pyramid twelve-note chord at the peak of which there is a dramatic climax. The music then subsides (solo cello again) but links to the two faster middle movements. The second movement Intermezzo has an ABA structure and in its middle section quotes the opening of Shostakovich's Third String Quartet (written in the same year as Christopher Rowland was born!). Indeed the ghost of Shostakovich looms large throughout the concerto in more ways than one. The Toccata-Scherzo is energetic and rhythmically-charged again using an ABA structure. Here the writing for solo cello is quite virtuosic but not I hope in a shallow sense. The music builds inexorably towards a powerful climax underpinned by the opening twelve-note chord's re-appearance together with a violent outburst from the timpani at which point a tonal resolution (on G) arrives through a pianissimo held chord on strings which leads directly to the final movement - Song. And so the music arrives at its emotional heart through a simple melody (present in other forms throughout the work) announced by solo cello at the very top of its register against a quiet backdrop of horns and strings. A solo oboe enters with cello in canonic reply and all the time the music builds in texture and
