Juhani Nuorvala (b. 1961) wrote The Five Chords That Shook My World (2020) for pianist Nicolas Horvath's Hommage a Glass project and it is dedicated to him. It's a fantasy meditation on the Train/Spaceship chords in Einstein, that repeating five-chord progression (Fm - Db - A - B7 - E) about which the composer has said that there's something strange, because it never fails to lift the audience to its feet. The duration of the piece is c. 6'30'', and it was premiered by Emil Holmstrom at RUSK festival (Pietarsaari, Finland) 20th November 2020. A notable variety of influences - microtonality, American minimalism, New Romanticism, popular music, techno - has been regarded as a special feature of Nuorvala's idiom. Despite this he is not a collage artist; instead he has blended various ingredients to create a mode of expression entirely his own. Nuorvala's works are often marked with frenzied rhythmic drive. He makes music using elements and materials that both the mind and the body respond to. He finds these elements not only in old or new classical music but in various forms of urban popular music, such as the electronic music of modern dance clubs.

Musicologist and writer Samuel Charters (1929--2015) considered blues lyrics a profound cultural expression that could connect all people who love poetry. A pioneer in the exploration of world music, Charters conducted research that brought obscure musicians of the American South and Appalachia into the mainstream. In this landmark volume, the noted blues historian and folklorist presents a rich exploration of blues songs as folk poetry, quoting lyrics by such legends as Son House and Lightnin' Hopkins at length to reveal the depth of feeling and complex literary forms at work within a unique art form.

Die in 'Traumhafte Klaviermusik' enthaltenen 22 mittelleichten bis mittelschweren Klavierstücke erzählen kurze Geschichten aus dem Leben, vermitteln Stimmungen von heiter bis bewölkt und verweben bekannte und neue Klangassoziationen mit spannenden Harmonien, Rhythmen und Motiven. Sie eignen sich sehr gut, um das expressive Spielen zu entwickeln. Ziel ist es, die Stimmung des Stückes durch leichte Veränderungen des Anschlags, der Dynamik und des Tempos gefühlvoll und ausdrucksstark wiederzugeben. Zu den Melodien der rechten Hand spielt die linke Hand wiederkehrende Begleitmuster, welche oftmals in traditioneller und moderner Klavierliteratur zu finden sind und so dem Lernenden eine gute technische Grundlage vermitteln. Die rechte Hand ist betonter und bewegter und übernimmt die Rolle des Erzählers. Stilelemente aus der klassischen und modernen Musik, aus Filmmusik und romantischen Pop-Balladen sind kunstvoll verwoben, um neue Klangerlebnisse zu schaffen. Ton- und Taktarten sind so gewählt, dass die Stücke leicht zu erlernen sind und der Spieler sich auf die Interpretation der Musik, sowie auf ein flüssiges und unabhängiges Spielen beider Hände konzentrieren kann. Das spielerische Erlernen von schnellen Läufen, Synkopen und Sprüngen wird zudem moderat gefördert. Die Fingersätze sind sorgfältig gesetzt, um ein flüssiges und müheloses Legatospiel zu ermöglichen. Der Einsatz des Haltepedals wird bei allen Stücken empfohlen, jedoch klingen die Kompositionen durch das Legato auch ohne diesen vollständig. Viel Freude beim Träumen!

Chopin composed his ''Mazurkas'' continuously from 1825 to 1849. The half-utilitarian genre was a point of departure, gradually becoming a form of meditative lyricism - the most personal statement of expression. Chopin's''Mazurkas'' present a number of specific performance problems resulting from such causes as the diversity of individual mazurkas, their collection in opus groups byChopin and his drawing inspiration from dance forms of Polishfolk music. Volume No. 4 contains 43 mazurkas. Of the variants in musical notation, those designated ''ossia'' were marked in this way by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies, while those without thisindication result from textual divergences in authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the text in an unambiguous way. The miniature version of the National Edition does not contain source commentary or performance notes.

ConSolar starts off like a gently sung lullaby accompanied by an obsessive E to which a strong generative power is attributed. The first narration (narratively aEUR semplice) is woven together of disjointed, varied motives. These broaden the range of expression which moves from calm, warm emotions to fast, confusing ones.

The collection (Op. 28) includes all 24 major and minor tonalities arranged in a circle of fifths, with each major key being followed by its relative minor. Contrary to custom of using this type of piece as didactic material, Chopin's cycle was intended as concert music. The Preludes can be seen as a microcosm of 24 categories musically expressed through basic oppositions such as mode, tempo, articulation, texture, etc. They were referred to as an extravaganza of unusual and extreme emotional states, a full reflection of the inner world, and at the same time a reflection of harmonia aeterna. These works were edited by by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski and J. Turczy ski.

Debussy's friendship with the versatile poet and playwright Gabriel Mourey began in 1899, and in July 1907 Mourey offered Debussy a libretto based on Le roman de Tristan - Joseph Bedier's adaptation of a twelfth-century Breton romance by the Anglo-Norman poet known as Thomas - which had recently been published in Paris. Debussy enthusiastically outlined the four-act plot to Victor Segalen that October, and the main differences from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde are that none of the action takes place in Cornwall and that Isolde of the White Hands is found guilty of cuckolding King Marc with Tristan, who has to rescue her from the leper colony in which she is abandoned in Act 1. She also betrays him when he goes mad at the end.The idea of a Tristan that restored its 'legendary character' and had no connections with Wagner, appealed to Debussy, who was extremely moved by the circumstances of Tristan's death. Even if he thought that Mourey's poetry was 'not very lyrical and many passages do not exactly invite music', he did work on the libretto and the music that summer and sent his publisher, Jacques Durand, 'one of the 363 themes for the Roman de Tristan' in a letter sent from Pourville on 23 August, 1907. The present prelude grows from this theme, together with the poignant Breton folksong Le Faucon. After a short atmospheric introduction, Debussy's dance-like theme (which is definitely not a leitmotif) gradually gains momentum and after it reaches its ecstatic climax, representing the transient happiness of the lovers, it dissolves into an expressive coda and an elegiac close (all growing from Debussy's opening, off-stage trumpet calls), leaving us with the ultimate tragedy of their ill-fated affair.Unfortunately, Mourey's actual libretto has been lost and the project eventually foundered because Bedier's cousin, Louis Artus, wanted Debussy to use the scenario he had prepared and copyrighted for the stage, and would not allow him to proceed with Mourey's version. Debussy, it need hardly be said, would never have dreamed of collaborating with the author of the vaudeville hit La culotte (The pants)!
