Piano - difficult SKU: HL.49018139 Revised Version. Composed by Christian Jost. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Piano. Book only. Composed 1989. 24 pages. Duration 12'. Schott Music #ED20859. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018139). ISBN 9790001171786. The richly varied concert piece shows how well the composer, himself a brilliant piano player, knows how to use the instrument. His polyphonic, complex compositional style gives way to various possibile interpretations. Despite high technical demands, the entire work is comfortable to play.A beginning appearing from nowhere which, with its consistent basic rhythm, reveals Jost's passion for jazz music, gradually becomes more intense. Eventually, the music changes into a softer, lyrical passage, allowing time to breathe. At the end, motifs from the beginning are taken up again. And after a phase of great intensity, the work fades into nothing. $24.99 - See more - Buy online | | |

From Robert Orledge's notes:
My interest in the wonderful music of Claude Debussy began in the 1980s when I researched and published a book with Cambridge University Press entitled Debussy and the Theatre. During the course of my studies in Paris, I was amazed to discover that Debussy planned over 50 theatrical works but only finished two of these entirely by himself (the opera Pelleas et Melisande in 1893-1902 and the ballet Jeux for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1912-13). Of the rest, many were never started musically (like Siddartha and Orphee-roi with the Oriental scholar Victor Segalen, 1907); some had a few tantalising sketches (like the Edgar Allan Poe opera Le Diable dans le beffroi, 1902-03); some were half-finished (like his other Poe opera La Chute de la Maison Usher, 1908-17); while others were musically complete but had their orchestrations completed by other composers (like Khamma, by Charles Koechlin, 1912-13; or Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien and La Boite a joujoux by his 'angel of corrections' ['l'ange des Corrections'] Andre Caplet in 1911 and 1919 respectively).
For it has to be admitted that what some scholars call Debussy's 'compulsive achievement' could equally well be viewed as laziness, especially as far as the minute detail required for calligraphing his orchestral scores was concerned. It was as if creating the music itself was of greater importance than controlling its final sound, even if Debussy was an imaginative orchestrator when he found the time and energy to do it. It also seems true that Debussy also preferred inventing ideas to turning them into complete pieces. However, despite the lack of detail in many of his sketches (missing clefs, key signatures, dynamics, phrasing, etc.) the notes themselves are surprisingly accurate, whether or not they can be compared with a later draft. Thus, a large number of sketches exist for his Chinese ballet No-ja-li ou Le Palais du Silence and it is not too difficult to see which parts of Georges de Feure's 1913 scenario (see below) inspired which ideas. But Debussy hardly made any attempt to join them together after the first few bars.
It was usually up to his publisher, Jacques Durand, to find solutions when Debussy risked a breach of contract. Debussy was supposed to supervise the orchestrations completed by others, but this supervision was usually very light and restricted to quiet, sensitive moments in which problems were easier to spot. Far from jealously guarding every one of his created notes, as Ravel did, Debussy once even went as far as to ask Koechlin to 'write a ballet for him that he would sign' on 26 March 1914 when he was hard-pressed to fulfil his lucrative contract for No-ja-li with Andre Charlot at the Alhambra Theatre in London. In the end, Debussy (through Durand) sent Charlot the symphonic suite Printemps instead, whose orchestration had been completed by Henri Busser in the Spring of 1912.
So, when I was offered early retirement as Professor of Music at Liverpool University in 2004, I seized the opportunity it would give me to spend time trying to reconstruct some of Debussy's lost potential masterpieces from his existing sketches and drafts--then orchestrating them in Debussy's style when this was appropriate. I had begun this mission in 2001 with the most promising project, the missing parts of Scene 2 of La Chute de la Maison Usher and the sheer joy it gave me at every stage persuaded me to tackle other projects, especially when Debussy experts were unable to identify exactly where I took over from Debussy (and vice versa) in Usher. $48.69 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

Chamber Music Two Flutes, Piano SKU: PR.114408650 For 2 Flutes and Pia...(+)
Chamber Music Two Flutes, Piano SKU: PR.114408650 For 2 Flutes and Piano. Composed by Robert Maggio. Spiral, Saddle, Tape. Set of Score and Parts. With Standard notation. 56 + 32 pages. Duration 20 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #114-40865. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114408650). UPC: 680160013180. 8.5 x 11 inches. The Laurel Tree is rooted in the world of mythology, for it reflects the legend of Daphne and Apollo. As the story goes, Cupid, in a fit of spite, shot Apollo with an arrow that rouses love, then shot Daphne with an arrow that vanquishes love. Upon seeing Daphne, Apollo fell passionately in love. When he approached her, Daphne fled in terror, and Apollo chased after her. Just as she was about to be caught by Apollo, Daphne cried for help to her father, the river-god Peneus. She begged him to change her, to destroy her beauty, so that Apollo would no longer persue her. And so, Peneus turned her into a radiant laurel tree. The Laurel Tree looks at the legend of Daphne in psychological terms. In an essay titled Schizophrenia - the Inward Journey, Joseph Campbell refers to the image of Daphne turning into a laurel tree as the image of a psychosis, and shows that the imagery of the mythological hero journey matches that of schizophrenic fantasy. The movement titles and the structure of the piece are influenced by Campbell's writings on mythology, particularly his universal formula of the hero's journey. The first movement is based on the legend as described above, up to the moment Daphne is turned into a laurel tree. The second movement explores Daphne's inward retreat, deep into her psyche and backward in time, toward chaotic and terrifying experiences, to recover something missed or lost. The third movement tracks Daphne's return journey of rebirth to life, in harmony, at peace, richer, stronger, and more joyous. $65.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Composed by Robert Schumann. Edited by Ernst Herttrich. Piano Solo, Piano and Keyboard, Repertoire, Solos. Three Fantasy Pieces Op. 111. Classical, Romantic. Softcover Book. 21 pages. G. Henle #HN89. Published by G. Henle (HU.HN89).
ISBN 9780101167604. 12.2 x 9.3 x 0.1 inches.
An authoritative Urtext edition of Three Fantasy Pieces Op.111 by Robert Schumann, edited by Ernst Herttrich with fingering by Walther Lampe. Following Schumanns move to the Rhine, where he had become the musical director of the Dusseldorf Music Society, times became hard for him. Despite several initial successes, he increasingly encountered resistance from notabilities, musicians and the public. He thus worked all the more intensively at home on his new works. R. has composed three piano pieces of a very serious, passionate character, which greatly please me, Clara Schumann wrote in her diary in September 1851. This edition of the Fanasy Pieces, which display a certain affinity with the Romances Op.28, has been thoroughly revised and an informative preface has been added.
