The title of this work is a reference to the poem Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats. Important images from the poem are freely connected to suggest musical gestures and contours. Such phrases as perilous seas and plaintive anthem placed musically alongside each other give the work a continuity not suggested by the original poem. The topography in the last verse of the poem also finds its way into the work: Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep The resulting work therefore utilises an organic and associative musical form, one that is dramatic and often capricious in nature. The work evaporates at its close - at Keats' instigation - through the words Fled is that music:- do I wake or sleep?. Through Magic Casements was written for William Cale on the occasion of his final recital at the Royal College of Music. 2009 KH.

Angelita is a Tango dance for solo Piano by Angel Barrios , probably written at some point in the first decade of the 20th century. It smoothly blends Iberian melodies and enthusiasm with exotic late Romantic harmonies, creating an exciting and catchy work. Angel Barrios (1882-1964) was a Spanish composer and classical guitarist. Born in Granada, he studied in Madrid and Paris, initially learning the Violin before switching to Guitar, becoming a formidable concert performer. He wrote many works for opera, which were performed in both Madrid and Granada, as well as orchestral pieces, dances, and solo works for Piano and for Guitar.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

The temples of Malta are the oldest stone buildings still standing on earth. They were built by a mysterious civilization which was very advanced for the time of 3,600 BC. Sometimes when we look at the ancient stones, it's fun to remember that children once played and danced in the temple courtyards. Surely those long-ago children made music, too.

Bach's Two-Part Inventions, first printed in 1801, have played a key role in modern-day music education for decades. Bach dedicated the predecessor of these works to his son, Wilhelm Friedemann they were originally-titled Preambulum and compiled within the collection of piano music known today as Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1720). The principle aim of these pedagogical works was to promote the acquisition of clean two-part playing as well as stylistically-sound cantabile playing. As a musical form, the invention left its mark on the music composition tendencies and conventions of the 17th century as well as its musical performance practices. Bach'sinventions as a whole also provide students with insight into the fundamentals of counterpoint.

During his studies, pianist and composer Florian Nagel drew on the teachings of two masters with diametrically opposed approaches tomusic: according to him, Marcel Bitsch brought him wisdom and Claude Ballif, folly. He has written numerous pieces for the pianoalong with vocal and chamber music. His first international success came with Alice in Wonderland for piano four hands and narrator,an orchestral version of which was premiered in March 2018 by the Orchestra national du Capitole de Toulouse. Nagel's Piano Book connects old and new, drawing on the past while remaining firmly anchored in modern times. The 25 remarkably inventive pieces in this collection present an astonishing diversity of styles. From the Prelude et Fuga Antica to the study for the Octaves and the Hommage Ligeti et Rautavaara, this volume offers a rich selection of the piano's potential today. Written equally for concert performance and for the perfection of technique, it also contains an educational component in which the musical form is placed at the service of a wide-ranging imagination.

Whoever thinks that Scheidt did not produce any keyboard works worth mentioning besides the Tabulatura nova must revise his judgment. Pieter Dirksen presents 25 pieces here.
ISBN 9790004183953. 9 x 12 inches.
Twelve pieces are ascertainably by Scheidt, three are early versions of pieces from the Tabulatura nova, and ten can be assigned to Scheidt with absolute certainty on the basis of stylistic criteria. It was long believed that some of these works had been written by Sweelinck. But Dirksen, as co-editor of the Sweelinck Works for Keyboard Instruments (EB 8741-44), applies his vast stylistic knowledge to this matter and, after a detailed study of the sources, separates the pupil Scheidt from his teacher Sweelinck. The Urtext edition presents the musical text in the form of a practical source edition. It guarantees authenticity, since it follows the notation in the sources as closely as possible and reproduces several characteristics of the notational practice of the time.Whoever thinks that Scheidt did not produce any keyboard works worth mentioning besides the Tabulatura nova must revise his judgment. Pieter Dirksen presents 25 pieces here.

Clara Schumann (1819-1896), then Clara Wieck, wrote this collection of six Soirées musicales in 1835-1836, when she 16 or 17 years old. Reflecting the influence of Mendelssohn and Chopin, each melodic piece shows her clear understanding of the formal and harmonic tendencies of those two master composers. Her later husband Robert Schumann would say of Clara's Soirées musicales as boasting a wealth of unconventional resources, an ability to entangle the secret, more deeply twisting threads and then to unravel them. Movements: 1. Toccatina, 2. Notturno, 3. Mazurka in G minor, 4. Ballade, 5. Mazurka in G major, 6. Polonaise.
