6.88 x 10.5 inches.

A magical carol setting that transports the listener into Christina Rosetti's beloved Christmas text written in London (listen for the subtle hints of Big Ben!). Ethereal melodic echos eventually build to soaring vocal lines before giving way to a tender final stanza of What can I give him, poor as I am.... An intimate yet deeply moving arrangement for SATB or SSA voices with piano.

Our purpose in compiling this volume was to gather attractive pieces that are neither too long nor too technically difficult so that the collection would be as varied as possible and show many different 'faces' of Beethoven. In the selection process the most important consideration was the musical aspect, thus the works are arranged not in order of difficulty, but more or less by composition date. The earliest are not the easiest, and those that are playable even after just two years of piano study can be found in the middle of the collection.

Unser Ziel bei der Zusammenstellung dieses Bandes bestand darin, nicht allzu lange und technisch schwierige Stücke zu einem Bund zu knüpfen, die Sammlung so abwechslungsreich wie möglich zu gestalten und zugleich viele verschiedene ‚Gesichter' Beethovens zu zeigen. Bei der Auswahl der Stücke spielte also der musikalische Aspekt die wichtigste Rolle. So sind die Werke auch nicht nach dem Schwierigkeitsgrad, sondern ungefähr nach der Entstehungszeit geordnet. Nicht die am frühesten Entstandenen sind die Einfachsten. Die Stücke, die man bereits nach zwei bis drei Jahren Klavierunterricht spielen kann, befinden sich etwa in der Mitte des Bandes.

This work was especially arranged for Thomas Stumpf and Joanna Kurkowicz and was adapted from the second movement of my Violin Concerto No. 1. The inspiration comes from the melodic shapes and sentiments of the hymns and chants of the Syrian Orthodox Church. Though there is no direct reference
to any particular hymn or chant in that repertoire, it is the formal structure and melodic contour from that tradition that provided inspiration for Hymn; especially in the opening and closing sections. The inner feelings of Hymn reflect on one aspect of the nature of faith, and how one holds on to it in a tumultuous world. This is reflected in the middle section where the piano's jagged rhythms attempt to throw off the steady pulses of the violin. Only faith in one's own inner rhythm can keep the violinist moving steadily forward. -Kareem Roustom.

Preludes, etudes and poems are like a planetarium with points of light twinkling in every direction. The grand old man of Finnish Modernism Paavo Heininen's (b. 1938) extensive output for piano expands with a comprehensive four-part collection of etydes (Etydes op. 104, 2011/2016). Each cycle consists of 12 etudes and a finale in a form of a set of variations. Complexity as style and humour as guideline in titles and ideas, these etydes can be programmed in combination with other pieces and as interludes between them.
