No. 1-4. Par ULLMANN VIKTOR. Ullman‘s seven Piano Sonatas were written between 1936 and 1944. Though rediscovered as recently as 1990, they are now available in a number of recordings. Neo-classical in approach, the piano writing and the use of polytonality places them closer to Skriabin and Prokofiev than to the works of Ullman‘s teachers Arnold Schoenberg and Alois Hába – this applies also to the Piano Concerto, written during the same period. The numerous quotes from Mozart, Wagner, Mahler, and Dukas to folksongs and tunes from operettas are particulary interesting in this context./ Répertoire / Piano

The composer, pianist and piano teacher Leopold Ko?eluch (1747-1818) was one of the leading Czech musicians in 18th-century Vienna. His 50 sonatas for keyboard bear witness not only to the transition from the harpsichord or clavichord to the pianoforte, but also to the evolution of the classical sonata at the turn of the 19th century.Until now there have been few modern editions of this music. Our new edition, prepared by Christopher Hogwood, is the first to present all of Ko?eluch's sonatas for solo keyboard. Each of the four volumes contains 12 to 13 sonatas in chronological order by date of initial publication. The fourth volume, edited with the assistance of Ryan Mark, contains the last sonatas and those handed down only in manuscript form.- First complete edition of the sonatas for keyboard- Suitable for professionals and amateurs alike - Ideal for teaching purposes- Detailed Foreword (Eng/Cz/Ger), Critical Commentary (Eng) and facsimile pages / Piano

Per Viola E Pianoforte. Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-06-19/ Répertoire / Alto et Piano

Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Piano

Par ORNSTEIN LEO. 'Il ya une force remarquable à tous Ornstein musique un sursaut d'énergie, une frénésie et une passion qui sont toujours rafraîchissant de l'oreille musicale fatigué.'-George Gershwin Cette anthologie originale est le premier volume simple édition des oeuvres d'avant-garde américaine compositeur Leo Ornstein (1893-2002). Caractérisé comme un futuriste et ultra-moderne, Ornstein a créé des oeuvres audacieuses, dissonantes qui excitaient l'admiration et de mépris. Un disciple fidèle de ses propres instincts musicaux, le compositeur a pris sa retraite de sa carrière en tant que pianiste de renommée internationale dans les années 1920 et a continué à composer dans l'obscurité pendant un demi-siècle. Ornstein a fondé une école de musique basé à Philadelphie, a connu une renaissance de la popularité dans les années 1970, et a terminé sa sonate pour piano huitième et dernier à l'âge de 97 ans. Ces seize compositions sont répartis dans huit décennies et démontrer une remarquable diversité de styles, du lyrisme à atonale. Le contenu inclut Three Moods, Impressions de la Tamise, Impressions de Chinatown, une douleur longtemps dans les mémoires, Un Matin dans les bois, et autres travaux. Aaron Copland a déclaré un spectacle de danse Homme sauvage comme le moment le plus controversé de sa jeune vie, et aussi récemment qu'en 2002, le New York Times prononçait 'un choc'. Beaucoup publié à l'origine de 1914 à 1925, ces pièces étaient depuis longtemps épuisés jusqu'à leur retour dans cette édition unique, qui est sûr de captiver intermédiaire aux pianistes de niveau avancé et tous les fans de musique avant-gardiste. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Piano

Piano Reduction including solo part. Par DENISOV EDISON. The catalogue of Edison Denisov's works includes 16 concertos. It was a genre to which he returned time and again throughout his life, from the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra of 1972 to the Double Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra of 1996. In Denisov's music the role of the soloist, or rather the protagonist, is extraordinarily important, not so much for its virtuosity as for its confessional character. The solo part is a monologue distinguished by poetic diction and a very personal message from the composer. The dramaturgical conception of the Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra, a reworking of the Viola Concerto of 1986, draws on traditional sonata form, thereby reaffirming the ubiquitous classicism in Denisov's thought. In this late work, we find all the typical features of his style: sinuous melodic lines layered into dense contrapuntal textures, and an interplay of orchestral colours, with pure sonorities contrasting with complex mixtures of sounds. It is a perfect dramaturgy that governs the evolution of the music to the very end. The first movement assumes the role of a sonata-allegro, with the standard formal sections of exposition, development, recapitulation and coda. The second movement is an Adagio for strings. The third takes the form of a little contrasting intermezzo that introduces both new thematic material and a new range of colours. Here tunefulness gives way to pointillism enriched with sonic effects. The only movement with a virtuosic solo part, its nervousness and inner tension set it worlds apart from the second and fourth movements that surround it. The fourth movement assumes the traditional form of a final set of variations. It is the dramaturgical and semantic heart of the concerto. The theme of the variations is Franz Schubert's Impromptu in B-flat major, op. 142, which in this case is 'born' from the celesta as the product of a dodecaphonic string cluster. This finale represents Denisov's homage to his great mentor, Schubert's music being for him a symbol of eternal and universal beauty. 'The attentive listener', Denisov stressed, 'will recognise that the Impromptu theme is already suggested very slowly in the course of the three preceding movements, not only thematically, but also psychologically. That's what makes the appearance of the Schubert theme sound so natural.' The variations relate to the variation genre less in their form than in their spiritual and conceptual metamorphoses. It is, one might say, 'music round about Schubert'. (Ekaterina Kouprovskaia-Denisova)/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) compte parmi les personnalités les plus originales de la musique du début du XXe siècle. Tombée un temps dans l'oubli en raison des persécutions et de l'ostracisme du régime national-socialiste, l'excellence de sa musique, influencée par le jazz et le dadaïsme, la musique atonale et le réalisme socialiste, commence à être redécouverte depuis quelques décennies. Sa Hot-Sonate de 1930 trahit, ne serait-ce que par son utilisation du saxophone en tant qu'instrument soliste, l'influence du jazz qui s'exprime également dans la force des rythmes, l'harmonie chatoyante et certaines techniques de jeu comme les glissandi. La Hot-Sonate paraît ici pour la première fois dans une édition Urtext. L'édition élimine de nombreuses erreurs de la première édition qui a été réimprimée à l'identique jusqu'à nos jours. L'ensemble des sources pertinentes ont pu être mises à profit: l'autographe, une copie destinée au graveur, l'exemplaire personnel de Schulhoff ainsi que divers documents personnels comme des lettres et des contrats. L'édition a bénéficié du concours du saxophoniste berlinois Frank Lunte, remarquable connaisseur à la fois du répertoire et de l'histoire du saxophone en particulier dans le Berlin des années 1930. / Saxophone Alto
