Rhapsody in F Sharp for Piano and Orchestra was commissioned by the BBC Proms and first performed in the Royal Albert Hall on August 19th, 1943. Written with the wartime audience in mind, it is unashamedly popular in style, with its flashy virtuosity making it immediately accessible and entertaining. There is argument among scholars as to whether it should be referred to in the Major or Minor key, as it makes almost equal use of both, starting in one and finishing in the other. Ernest J Moeran (1894-1950) was an English composer, who followed the tradition of R. Vaughan Williams and John Ireland by collecting, preserving, and using many folk songs, mainly from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Ireland. / Piano Et Orchestre

For The Left Het For Piano et Orchestra. Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1929 Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist and war veteran who lost his right arm in the Great War, commissioned Maurice Ravel to write a concerto for him to perform. The result was one of Ravel's most thrilling compositions and, for Wittgenstein, the most important of the many works he commissioned over the course of his career. This scholarly-critical edition of Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand is based on previously inaccessible and unknown sources. The editor, Douglas Woodfull-Harris, was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace the work's evolution from Ravel's autograph working copy to the first printededition. The piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel's and Wittgenstein's fingerings. Also included is a solo part without fingering, thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.

The editor, Douglas Woodfull-Harris, was able to consult manuscripts in the private library of the Paul Wittgenstein Estate which allowed him to retrace thework's evolution from Ravel 's autograph working copy to the first printed edition. A source of key importance to our new edition is a handwritten French copy of Ravel 's own Piano reduction (the autograph is inaccessible) that he gave to Wittgenstein to facilitate rehearsing the work. This copy is the sole source reflecting Wittgenstein's own interpretation and containing his changes to the final cadenza. It also helps us to understand omissions in the first edition of the score as well as the Piano reduction, and enabled the editor, amongst other things, to correct a great many notes which could be found in previous editions, including the solo Piano part. The Piano reduction in our edition contains both Ravel 's and Wittgenstein's fingering. Also included is a solo part without fingering, thereby giving pianists the opportunity to enter their own fingering after having studied those of Ravel and Wittgenstein.

J-P. Marty - D. Herlin - E. Lemaitre. Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. Partitions de la Fantaisie pour piano et orchestre (2ème version) de Claude Debussy avec partie de piano soliste. La Fantaisie pour piano et orchestre ne fut jamais publiée, ni exécutée en concert du vivant de Debussy. Il fallut attendre 1919 pour que Fromont la publie dans sa version originale. Vingt-neuf ans après sa composition, sans tenir compte des diverses modifi cations apportées par Debussy au fi l des années, elle fut créée à Londres le 20 novembre 1919 avec Alfred Cortot en soliste et la Royal Philharmonic Society. Quelque temps après, le 7 décembre 1919, la création parisienne réunissait la pianiste Marguerite Long et André Messager qui dirigeait l'orchestre des Concerts Lamoureux. C'est à la suite de ce concert qu'Emma Debussy offrit à la pianiste le manuscrit autographe de la particelle du premier mouvement. La présente édition comprend la partie de piano soliste du matériel extrait de la partition d'orchestre publiée au sein des OEUVRES COMPLETES DE CLAUDE DEBUSSY, Série V, volume 2 bis. On trouvera des renseignements complémentaires, le détail des principes éditoriaux et les variantes relatives aux différentes sources dans les Notes critiques de ce volume (DB 15575). Il s'agit de la seconde version de la Fantaisie éditée par Jean Pierre Marty avec la collaboration de Denis Herlin et Edmond Lemaître, qui tient compte des nombreux remaniements du compositeur. / Rép Classique / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

Sous-titré 'Les Mystères de la Lumière', le compositeur déclare que cet ouvrage tente de faire revivre l'ancienne pratique de l'écriture musicale basée sur la structure du Rosaire. L'exemple le plus célèbre est la collecte du Rosaire (ou mystère) Sonates pour violon de Heinrich Biber, écrit dans la fin du 17e siècle. Concerto MacMillan est basé sur un ensemble de cinq méditations introduite par Jean-Paul II en 2002, les mystères lumineux. En dépit de cela, plutôt que d'être dévotion l'avancement des travaux en quasi-dramatique de la mode, pas trop éloigné dans le concept d'un poème symphonique. Commandée par Osmo Vänskä et l'Orchestre du Minnesota, à l'occasion du centenaire de l'Orchestre, et le premier effectué avec le soliste Jean-Yves Thibaudet en Avril 2011. / Piano Et Orchestre

Par PROKOFIEV SERGEI. Interestingly there are two different versions of Prokofiev’s second piano concerto, the first written between 1912 and 1913, the second written in 1923. However, during the Russian Civil War, the original manuscript of the Concerto was destroyed in a fire in Prokofiev’s apartment in St. Petersburg. In 1923 he recreated the score from memory, effectively composing the second edition of the work, which was very different. Prokofiev wrote to a friend: I have so completely rewritten the second concerto that it might be considered the fourth (his third piano concerto having been written in the meantime). At the time of composition, the concerto's wild temperamentleft some exalted, whereas others were horrified by the jarring and at the time futuristic sound. Today, however, it is generally recognised as a masterpiece and is one of the most virtuosic works in the piano concerto repertoire. Available here is the Hawkes Pocket Score edition (No. 877) of Prokoviev’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor Op. 16, and is ideal for study and perusal usage. / Hawkes Pocket Scores HPS 877 / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre

La première Rhapsodie de Debussy pour clarinette, et sa Rhapsodie pour saxophone ont toutes deux été composées à l'origine que des oeuvres de chambre avec accompagnements de piano. Plus tard, le compositeur disposées deux pièces pour grand orchestre, et ce volume unique contient la partition orchestrale et de chambre de l'arrangement de piano de ces deux oeuvres.En tant que compositeur principal considérée comme faisant partie du mouvement impressionniste français, la musique de Debussy est caractérisée par quelques innovations profondes dans l'orchestration et le mélange des tons instrumentale, privilégiant la chaleur du vent sur ??les cordes qui prédominait auparavant. Cette édition offre une occasion rare d'étudier l'utilisation de Debussy du timbre orchestral, en comparant chaque score à sa version de chambre d'origine. Par ailleurs, les versions piano de chaque oeuvre, dépouillé à l'essentiel très, fournissent un aperçu fascinant et franche dans l'approche harmonique de Debussy. / Scores

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, extremely popular among pianists, are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach, however, succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today’s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d minor is perhaps the most popular – not least because of its jaunty outer movements and the eminently forceful solo part. Now, as a prelude to a series of all of Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, G. Henle Publishers presents a Piano reduction and study edition (score) of the d-minorconcerto. None other than András Schiff, the outstanding Bach expert, has provided fingering suggestions. / Müllemann, Norbert / Répertoire / Piano et Orchestre
