The most famous of the fantasies, the 'Wanderer Fantasy?, now appears in a separate edition.While Schubert was playing the Wanderer Fantasy for a circle of friends, he faltered and exclaimed impatiently: The Devil should play this stuff!?Yet it wasn't the Devil but Liszt - like Schumann a great admirer of the piece - who later arranged the 'Wanderer Fantasy? for piano and orchestra and again for two pianos. It was also Liszt who gave the work the nickname it has retained to the present day.- Based on the Urtext of the 'New Schubert Edition?- Notes on performance practice (Ger/Eng)- Includes an informative foreword (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano

In preparation for Carol Wincenc's landmark Naumburg Award Recital at New York's Lincoln Center, she asked composer Daniel Paget to create a work drawn from the world of wonderful Romanian folk music for nai, or panpipes. The result was Romania!, Fantasy for Flute and Piano, a duet suggestive of both the nai and the cimbalom (hammered dulcimer). The work is a brilliant tip-of-the-hat to Wincenc's Austro-Hungarian heritage and her inner tzigane-style temperament. Great care has been taken to select dynamics and articulations that allow the phrases to make the best use of the flute's capabilities, given the rich harmonic language typical of this part of the world. Filled withmeltingly beautiful lyricism and dazzling technical gestures, this new edition is bound to bring years of enjoyment to all those who have it.

Fantasy on Irish [Scottish] Themes (1852). Par JOACHIM JOSEPH. Joseph Joachim's 'Fantasies on Hungarian and Irish [Scottish] Themes” was his first virtuoso music for the violin with orchestral accompaniment. Joachim was intent on creating popular works, not least at the urging of his family, but they also bore witness to his urbanity: the young Jewish-Hungarian musician spent many summers in England and its familiar, Irish melodies held great appeal for English audiences. Performances of the 'Fantasy on Hungarian Themes” in German cities met his need for self-display as the 'Hungarian lad”, to use Mendelssohn's jocular epithet. Joachim was well aware that the style hongrois was all the rage in European capitals./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano
