Solo piano part for Lutoslawski's 1941 work for piano and orchestra (orchestrated in 1978).

Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra-Gershwin???s Concerto was premiered on December 3 1925 in Carnegie Hall ??? the epicentre of New York???s classical music scene. It belongs to a group of self-imposed experiments??? with which the composter sought to make inroads into serious??? music: I have only written three ???opuses??? so far ??? ???The Blue Monday Opera ??? ???The Rhapsody in Blue??? and the ???Concerto.??? I have devoted much time to these works but they are of course not my regular work. They are experiments ??? laboratory work in American music.??? For his edition Norbert Gertsch reviewed a multitude of autograph and printed sources in the USA and for the first time presents an Urtext edition of this very popular pianoconcerto suffused by the jazz idiom. At the same time Breitkopf and H?rtel offers both the full score and orchestral parts by the same editor.

from J. B. Duvernoy (Op. 276) and J. F. F. Burgmüller (Op. 100)-To make sure that practicing studies is fun and will lead systematically to success here are eleven newly arranged orchestral accompaniments for well-known piano studies by Duvernoy and Burgmüller. The accompaniments transform these humble pieces into miniature piano concertos that will delight beginners everywhere. The orchestral arrangements and piano reductions are the work of the pianist and arranger Gero Stöver. Piano teaching has made very great progress in recent years. Many piano teachers have their own ideas theories and experiences especially with regard to fingering and the use of the pedal. Nonetheless we have decided to add fingering to our revised newedition for experience has shown that many learners especially those encouraged by play-along Cd's want to play new pieces without their teacher's knowledge. The fingerings added in our volume will enable enthusiastic learners to prepare a piece without the aid of their teacher but without coming to grief with ill-considered spur-of-the-moment fingering combinations. The fingering added by Sabine Krüger lay no claim to absolute truth but are intended merely as suggestions.

Piano reduction-This piano reduction is based on the study edition HN9989 that is being published simultaneously giving access to Debussy's short score in printed form for the first time. The composer afforded the Saxophone few solo entries.Today in particular in the version with Piano accompaniment it is usual to give the Saxophone further melodic sections taken from the orchestra. For this reason our edition not only includes the original part but also anadditional solo part by Daniel Gauthier professor of classical saxophone at the Music Conservatory in Cologne. It is the first work for Saxophone in the Henle catalogue.

Piano Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra (2009) by Poul Ruders. Piano Solo and Orchestral Reduction.Dedicated Becky Starobin. Written for Vassily Primakov. Commissioned by The Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Jerome Lowenthal. Programme Note In this day and age when faced with the challenge of writing a 'Piano Concerto' e.g. a piece for symphony orchestra and an all-dominating and virtuosic solo Piano part one has two options: either: DO or do NOT go for it wholesale exploiting and enjoying the conrnucopia of sonoroustreasures offered by the combination of the orchestra and the 'Grand Piano'. I have opted to go for it. When writing for one of our great young international Piano stars it would be absurd and a waste to do anything less and only 'nibble at the goodies'.However the piece is not a big clunky 'machine'. Rather it is a transparently orchestrated neo-classic (for the lack of a better work) composition in three movements lastign approximately 25 minutes.The piece begins with a moderately paced opening in which the Piano gradually gathers momentum and strength beginning with the most gentle of motifs. In this movement the soloist and orchestra fo not always agree and the vigilant listener will observe the disparity between the two. Following a swift up-beat coda the movement stops almost in mid-breath on one of the gentle Piano chords taken from the very opening.The extreme simplicity of the second movement 'Semplice' (the opening Piano solo bears the marking: 'slightly hesitant - like a child practicing') is after having been joined by the Vibraphone Harp and solo Violin suddenly violated with unprecedented brutality by the rest of the orchestra which virtually 'lies in wait - panting to pounce'. But eventually calm and order is restored.The finale is a crazy rondo of sorts.

Solo Version (Printed Edition)-I have finally decided to re-create the already-daunting Rach 3 into an even more horrifying but also emotionally satisfying project which was to make such a large-scale arrangement for solo piano requesting the pianist to combine both the piano and the orchestral accompaniment of Rachmaninoff's original crowning achievement thus merging an 80-people orchestral sonority onto one person. The process of this project was one of the most artistically educational experiences for me as I couldn't just take the original score and copy and paste it onto the same instrument which would've been meaningless and would simply sound like a mess. One has to really work as a sensitivecomposer to know the differences between the timbres and colors of the piano and that of the orchestra which requires me to re-arrange registers minor shifts of structural obstacles avoidance of over-toned harmonies and attempt to make it sound like as if it was conceived originally as a grand solo piano sonata instead of just some crazy transcription for showing off. I hope this new version of the Rach 3 can achieve a different kind of in-depth virtuosity and emotional scope and that it may attract interest from my contemporary and future pianists or musicians.
