Besides Bach, Domenico Scarlatti is the other Baroque composer whose keyboard works sound really great on the modern piano. The editor of this volume has chosen sixteen pieces from the 555 surviving single-movement keyboard sonatas by Scarlatti. This compilation is designed to offer a representative selection in order to give a taste of the incredibly rich world of Scarlatti's sonatas in terms of their character, structure, and keyboard techniques: they include lyrical Andantes and powerful, etude-like, whirling Allegros, pieces inspired by Spanish folk music and guitar-playing, as well as sonatas that anticipate the Viennese classical style. None of these movements exceed amoderate difficulty level. Neben Bach ist Domenico Scarlatti der andere Barock-Komponist, dessen Werke für Tasteninstrumente auch auf dem heutigen Klavier gut klingen. Aus seinen 555, meistens einsätzigen Sonaten wählte der Herausgeber für den vorliegenden Band sechzehn Stücke aus. Diese wurden mit dem Anspruch einer repräsentativen Auswahl zusammengestellt. Der Band gibt einen Vorgeschmack von der unglaublich reichen Welt der Charaktere, Texturen und Tasteninstrumententechniken der Scarlatti-Sonaten: Neben melodischen, wunderschönen Andanten und etüdenähnlichen, wirkungsvollen Allegri bekommen in ihr auch Stücke ihren Platz, welche von der spanischen Volksmusik und von der Gitarrenspieltechnik inspiriertsind, oder Sonaten, die die Wiener Klassik erahnen lassen. Diesen ist außer dem Komponisten nur eines gemeinsam: Hinsichtlich ihrer technischen Anforderungen überschreitet keine die mittlere Stufe.

Innocence is available for either piano solo or piano and chamber accompaniment (flute, clarinet, first and second violins, viola and cello). It is a good learning tool for aspiring musicians at or above a beginner's level.Technically, the piece contains several tertian harmonies and simple flares of credenza-like complexities. The form is a through composed inspiration that later becomes more refined in terms of symmetry and balance. Less technically described, Innocence was written to demonstrate the differences and the compatibility between traditional and untraditional harmonic development. Students will or should recognize the two different approaches.In the most traditional approach, the listener is typically able to predict how the melody will unfold. It is like a journey down a road where the passengers can see all the straight-aways and turns ahead. Innocence , however, while never discarding or disrespecting musical grammar, is occasionally innocently twisted to hijack the listener into gently surprising and unanticipated turns. It is a good learning tool to point out the different approaches to composition. It is also simply a fun and entertaining piece in and of itself.

Riversong was originally composed for solo vibraphone and was presented in lead sheet format (for an improvising musician's use) and in a completely written-out version. Spelled here for piano, the original flow and lure of a river's pull is augmented by two additional vignettes - Water Catcher and Terra Firma - that depict both an unexpected outing and the satisfaction of a completed trip.

Water Catcher reminds us of what may lie around the next bend when storms follow the river and powerfully replace calm with chaos. Terra Firma confirms our respect and desire for the journey - natural repose and quiescence in harmony with anticipation of revisiting the river's song.

This volume consisting of 18 pieces contains works composed by Bartók for the Piano Tutor he edited together with Sándor Reschofsky and published in 1913. These little pieces by Bartók were enthusiastically hailed by the critic Antal Molnár in the columns of Nyugat: 'We see that even a piece intended for beginners can be of flesh and blood, can have a living soul and a thinking brain. No more wooden-puppet piano literature, for it can also be like this. These pieces are not only playable with real feeling but are so delightful that they educate, they inculcate aristocratic simplicity and noble naivety, and command respect for timeless, true musicality.' (November 1, 1913.) Theseminiature pieces include folk song arrangements and also original compositions anticipating the style of Mikrokosmos. (Hungaroton HCD 31604) Die 18 kleinen, leichten Klavierstücke stammen aus der Klavierschule von Bartók-Reschofsky von 1913 und sind nicht nur überaus geeignete Übungen für Anfänger sondern kleine Meisterwerke von überaus elegantem und zeitlosem Charme.
