Return Of The Nightingales by Sadie Harrison is for solo Piano and Nightingale.This score is prefaced by the following Persian Sufi text:'Ajab tarana e sar karda am darin golshan Khoda konad ke na sazad falak khamush mara' - which translates in English to 'I have started to sing a wonderful song in this flower-garden like a nightingale. I hope the movement of the stars (destiny) does not make me silent again.'It is used as a direct reference to the devastation of Afghan culture during the period of the Taliban when musicians were silenced many exiled or fleeing and to their re-emergence following the Taliban’sexpulsion from 2001. The piece is dedicated to John Baily who together with his wife Veronica Doubleday has worked tirelessly to preserve Afghan music. His video documentary Return of the Nightingales (2012) celebrates the fabulous work undertaken by the Afghanistan National Institute for Music.Its mottos are:BUILD LIVES THROUGH MUSICREVIVE AND PRESERVE AFGHAN MUSICTRAIN FUTURE MUSIC EDUCATORSESTABLISH INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUEASSURE MUSICAL RIGHTSReturn Of The Nightingales was commissioned by Late Music Festival with funds from the Performing Rights Society.It was premiered by Ian Pace on 3 August 2013 at the Unitarian Chapel York.

Piano Sonata No.5 was written in 1974. Stylistically it moves on from works completed in the 1960s which betray a synthesis of Fi?er's own musical language and the stimuli of New Music. With the exception of the final passage the sonata exclusively applies the mode B flat-B-C-C sharp-F-F sharp-G which was first used in a narrowed six-note form in 1965 in Fifteen Prints after Dürer's Apocalypse. Formally the piece is arranged into short contrasting sections which are created from brief repetitive ostinato motifs. With minimal use of thematic and expressive material the composer achieves effective dramatic abbreviation of the kind whichculminated in works from the 1960s. This musical treatment is abandoned only in the final lyrical part which anticipates the future development of Fiser's musical language leading to its simplification and overall dramatic reduction.Piano Sonata No.5 was first published in 1996 by Bärenreiter Editio Supraphon Prague in a re-print of a transcription provided by the Czech Music Fund in whose preparation the composer was also involved at the time. The new edition consistently adheres to this authorised copy of the work while confining itself to the correction of several apparent omissions and errors.

Clara Schumann's Piano Notebook. This book presents seven piano solos that represent the wonderful variety of compositions by Clara Schumann. The brilliant ?Polonaise? was composed and performed by Clara as a child prodigy. The enchanting ?Prelude, Op. 16, No. 2?, and ?Romance, Op. 21. No.2? are both beautiful and suitable for many occasions. The joyful ?Mazurka? makes a great recital piece as well as ?Scherzo? in C minor. ?Nocturne in F, Op. 6, No. 2" is one of the most beautifully written nocturnes. Chopin once told Clara that she was the only woman in Germany that could play his music. She may have been inspired to compose this piece after performing many of Chopin's works in her concerts. The final piece in this collection of Clara Schumann?s Piano Notebook is her ?Theme and Variations?, which she dedicated to Robert Schumann. Robert composed and published many variations of his own on Clara's theme. Her own variations remained unknown until recently. These variations are very interesting, and the theme is easily recognizable throughout. ?Theme and Variations? truly showcases Clara?s unique sense of creativity. These piano selections are presented as examples of Clara Schumann's legacy?a great composer of the 19th century. Her music is timeless and must be preserved for future generations of pianists. This collection will be valuable for recitals, programs and your own enjoyment.
