Returning to his first love, the piano, this piece, composed in 1970. The three pieces forming the Triptych are a Meditation, a Dramatic Recitative and a Capriccio. The Meditation is naturally reflective, but not unduly introspective; the drama in the Recitative rests on the contrast between rhetorical statements and bravura passages; the Capriccio is carried on a vivacious rhythmic pulse and ends with brilliance. It is dedicated to Louis Kentner with admiration and gratitude - the admiration is for his playing, and the gratitude for the help he gave during the recording of my piano sonata by Marguerite Wolff. ~ Sir Arthur Bliss.

Born on the occasion of the Chopin's Chopin Competition in 1949, on the occasion of Chopin's 100th anniversary, Laks' ballad captures the spirit of Chopin's melodious, harmonious and rhythmic thinking, without the impression of plagiarism. The form of the ballad comes to the idea of ??exploring the entire range between the most tender lyricism and eruptive drama that is so characteristic of Chopin's piano style. The technically sophisticated 8-minute piece is ideally suited for recitals reflecting the importance of Chopin's music as a symbol of the Polish nation in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The Belgian composer Nicholas Lens presents extremely varied etudes, exercises and simple phrases with wonderfully telling titles from poetry and everyday world for children and adults. For the most part the studies are tonal and simple and have no constructed line. They are not based on any educational concept but leave the musical dramatization to the pupils and teachers: 'Notes and rhythms are just notes and rhythms, they do not have that many rules, they do not have any pretension, they are just tools for you to use to express what you want to share.'.

With his Venti pezzi per pianoforte (1938), the Hungarian composer Sándor Veress (1907-92) wanted to create a collection of piano miniatures on folk melodies destined for use in the concert hall as well as for teaching purposes. Each piece is based on one or more songs and dances from different Hungarian speaking areas, which are re-elaborated and presented in a carefully conceived alternation of character, musical writing and technical difficulty. The result is a multi-colored overview of Hungarian folk music: songs of a pathetic or even dramatic nature are contrasted with lighter and high-spirited pieces, interspersed with dances of varying types, among which a homogeneousblock stands out formed by the group of Csárdás, a typical tavern dance also used by Liszt. The Venti pezzi per pianoforte represent the culmination of the extensive ethnomusicological research made by Veress in the ’30s and ‘40s, while working as assistant to László Lajtha and to Béla Bartók, and at the same time carrying out field work in Hungary and neighboring countries. The composer intended that this collection should play a fundamental role of mediation between folklore and western “art” music, by revitalizing the language from within, without resorting to the abstractions of the experimentation being developed in Europe at the time. During his lifetime Veress never succeeded in publishing the complete version of the Venti pezzi per pianoforte, but issued various selections of the pieces, two of which remained totally unpublished. The present critical edition prepared by Giada Viviani reconstructs the complete text of the Venti pezzi per pianoforte on the basis of manuscript sources kept at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel: the musical scores, with fingering by Jakub Tchorzewski, are accompanied by an introductory essay on the context in which the collection was created, including a description of the state of the sources and a detailed apparatus criticus of the textual variants.

Con i suoi Venti pezzi per pianoforte (1938), il compositore ungherese Sándor Veress (1907-92) ha voluto creare una raccolta di miniature pianistiche su melodie popolari destinate sia a un uso concertistico, sia all’attivit didattica. In ogni branovengono rielaborati uno o più canti e danze provenienti da diverse aree geografiche di lingua ungherese, che si susseguono in base a una sapiente alternanza di carattere, scrittura musicale, difficolt esecutiva. Viene così offerta una variegatapanoramica della musica popolare di questa nazionalit : a canti di contenuto patetico o addirittura drammatico se ne affiancano di più leggeri e giocosi, avvicendandosi a danze di natura differente, tra cui spicca come un blocco omogeneo il gruppodelle Csárdás, tipica danza da locanda utilizzata anche da Liszt.I Venti pezzi per pianoforte rappresentano il coronamento della ricca attivit etnomusicologica condotta da Veress tra gli anni ’30 e ‘40, sia lavorando come assistente di László Lajtha e di Béla Bartók, sia svolgendo ricerca sul campo in Ungheria enei paesi limitrofi. Per il compositore, questa raccolta doveva svolgere un fondamentale ruolo di mediazione tra il folklore e la musica “colta” occidentale, in maniera da rivitalizzarne il linguaggio dall’interno, senza gli astrattismi dellesperimentazioni allora condotte in Europa.Nel corso della sua vita Veress non riuscì mai a pubblicare la versione integrale dei Venti pezzi per pianoforte, mentre ne fece uscire sul mercato alcune selezioni, lasciando del tutto inediti due brani. La presente edizione critica a cura di GiadaViviani ricostruisce il testo completo dei Venti pezzi per pianoforte in base alle fonti manoscritte conservate presso la Fondazione Paul Sacher di Basilea: gli spartiti musicali, corredati dalla diteggiatura di Jakub Tchorzewski, sono accompagnatida un saggio introduttivo sul contesto di creazione della raccolta, dalla descrizione dello stato delle fonti e da un dettagliato apparato critico delle varianti testuali.
