Una voce poco profonda: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and HeroinesWhether the voice is lyric light or heavy, whether it can master coloratura, perhaps even has dramatic potential - in the OperAria mezzo-soprano and alto volumes, singers with a deeper voice and a special talent for the trouser role through to the heroine find everything they need for their performance.

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) was a pianist and composer of international stature and one of the towering figures of early 20th century music. He left behind an ouvre consisting of some 170 works, many of which await discovery or are known only in forms far removed from the composer's intentions. Sergei Rachmaninoff : Critical Edition of the Complete Works (RCW), a project issued by Russian Music Publishing, is the first complete edition of Rachmaninoff 's music prepared in accordance with scholarly criteria while meeting the demands of performers. It catalogues, explores, and annotates every available musical, literary, and iconographic source on Rachmaninoff 's music. The RCW is published under the scholarly auspices of Dr. Valentin Antipov. The editorial standards of the RCW satisfy the most discerning criteria and are safeguarded by an Editorial Board of internationally acknowledged authorities in Rachmaninoff scholarship. Alexandre Rachmaninoff (1933-2012), the composer's grandson, has been retained as a special advisor. The RCW is furthermore realized in close cooperation with the Glinka State Central Museum of Musical Culture, which houses one of the most extensive collections of Rachmaninoff autographs worldwide. All sources are consulted for the first time and all compositions are presented in their authentic form with all existing versions from the composer.

The OperAria repertoire anthology was much applauded when it came on stage with three baritone volumes in 2015. The successful baritone debut was followed in 2017/18 by the appearance of the four soprano volumes, also conquering hearts in no time. Now, another performance: The curtain rises on the bass volumes, the foundation of the vocal family for heavier, darker voices, though nevertheless brilliant and full of radiance. The protagonists have such well-known names as Bartolo, Don Basilio, Colline, Don Pasquale, Falstaff, Figaro, Kecal, Osmin, Sarastro. Other heroes less often in the limelight, such as Dulcamara, Sancho Pansa, Phanuel, and Sir Morosus, can certainly also count on much applause. It is my aim to give students a modern, systematically structured, well-informed vocal coach that meets the demands of present-day stage practice. And, of course, a cohesive repertoire and logical presentation of audition arias for every vocal genre.(Peter Anton Ling)OperAria is the ideal vocal coach for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, the books address all singers and are conceived above all for training and auditions.

Choosing an edition of this celebrated violoncello concerto has always posed a dilemma: they were based either on the first edition, which was not given a final authorization by Dvorak, or solely on the autograph, which does not represent the final version in many instances. This was the case with the Dvorak Complete Edition of 1955, for example. Klaus Doge has critically re-examined all the surviving sources. His research has yielded a new, text-critical edition that meticulously evaluates the many, often contradictory readings that create discrepancies between the autograph and the first edition. In the conclusions he draws for performance practice, Doge generally gives priority to the first edition. However, he does not smooth out Dvorak's special notation, such as Dvorak's publisher Simrock did in his day. Doge's edition also shows that the musical text is not as authenticated as has been suggested by previous editions. Variants have occasionally been notated on a second staff at several passages, particularly in the solo part. The piano reduction, which was prepared by the composer himself, has been edited according to text-critical criteria for the first time as well. Doge was able to rely on a renowned performer for this part of his work: Heinrich Schiff, who arranged the solo part and provides valuable interpretative tips in his commentaries on performance practice.

PIANO inches. English-French.

This new, completely revised and reset centenary edition of Satie’s complete piano music in three volumes has returned to Satie’s manuscripts and first editions to give pianists completely accurate and reliable texts to play from.

As well aspresenting every piece for piano solo or piano reduction that Satie published, this edition also includes some previously unknown pieces, like the Petite Sonate that he wrote for Vincent d’Indy at the Schola Cantorum, as well as some interestingfirst versions of well-known pieces, like San Bernardo, a trial version of Españaña (1913) and the markedly different first version of Les Pantins dansent (1914). In addition, there areexamples of the different types of exercises that Satie completedat the Schola between 1905 and 1912, some extra trial Enfantines, and some earlier drafts of his famous Sports et divertissements. To help pianists, suggested metronome marks have been added throughout, and there are also some performance suggestionsfor the Rose Croix pieces of the 1890s, which otherwise appear to be all quiet and slow. The notation has been made as user-friendly as possible, without detracting from Satie’s concerns about the “extériorisation” of his musical thought in print.

Cette nouvelle édition de l’intégrale de la musique pour piano d’Erik Satie, en trois volumes, est une version totalement révisée et regravée de l’édition centenaire de son oeuvre pianistique. Elle revient aux sources manuscrites et premièreséditions des pièces de Satie, et offre aux interprètes des textes musicaux fi ables et pertinents.Ces volumes proposent toutes les pièces pour piano solo, ou en réduction pour piano, publiées par Satie, incluant quelques pièces antérieures inconnues, telles la Petite Sonate que Satie écrivit pour Vincent d’Indy la Schola Cantorum, et quelquespremières versions de pièces très connues, comme San Bernardo, version d’essai d’Españaña(1913), ou encore les premières versions très différentes de Les Pantins dansent (1914).

On trouvera également quelques exemples des différents exercicesque Satie exécuta la Schola entre 1907 et 1912, quelques tentatives supplémentaires d’Enfantines, et quelques brouillons antérieurs de ses célèbres Sports et divertissements.

Des indications métronomiques ont été ajoutées afi n d’aider lesinterprètes, de même que certaines suggestions de jeu pour les oeuvres relatives la période Rose Croix des années 1890, pièces qui sinon pourraient ne sembler que lentes et tranquilles. La notation a été envisagée sous l’angle le plus pratiquepossible, sans pour autant négliger le soucis de Satie quant l’ « extériorisation » de sa pensée musicale sur papier.

Questa nuova edizione in tre volumi delle composizioni per pianoforte di Satie offre ai pianisti una revisione accurata e fedele alle intenzioni dell’autore grazie all’analisi e al confronto dei manoscritti e delle loro prime edizioni astampa.

La pubblicazione, oltre a includere tutti i pezzi per pianoforte o in riduzione che Satie ha pubblicato, offre anche alcuni brani fino a oggi sconosciuti, come la Petite Sonate che ha scritto per Vincent d’Indy e interessanti primeversioni di pezzi celebri, tra cui San Bernardo, un primo tentativo di Españaña (1913) e la prima versione, considerevolmente diversa, di Les Pantins dansent (1914).

Per agevolare gli interpreti, il curatoreha aggiunto, all’occorrenza, segnidi metronomo e alcuni suggerimenti per l’esecuzione. La notazione musicale è stata resa il più possibile comprensibile senza depauperare il pensiero musicale di Satie sull’esteriorizzazione della musica.

The song repertoire has its origins in the late nineteenth century when every household had a piano and for much of the twentieth century, singers and their pianist collaborators were able to create recital programmes from a deep reservoir of European and North American song. The recital genre became more sophisticated as the century progressed and metamorphosed from a miscellaneous collection of lollipops to something altogether more sophisticated, often featuring elaborate themes which would enable the music to be presented in a variety of new contexts. In the twenty first century opportunities for recitalists are fewer and programmes still tend to focus on the much-loved butwell-explored repertoire. We hope this collection will contribute to a broadening of possibilities for recitalists or anyone who just wants something new to sing. There are several songs for voice and piano but some require other instruments. There is a wide range of styles. We have resisted the temptation to grade them by difficulty, as our criteria were more broadly performative and musical rather than didactic. All selected composers have a particular sympathy for the singing voice, so there is nothing that cannot be sung by a competent performer. The songs generally have a designated voice type, but this shouldn't be thought of as prescriptive; they are designed to be flexible and to offer the maximum opportunity for creative interpretation. They range from the curious and quirky to the virtuosic and challenging, the intense and mysterious to the sad and the light-hearted. We hope that many performers will find their tastes represented here. Compiled by David Blake and John Potter. Edited by Michael Hooper.
