Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) once remarked: “My life is a novel that greatly interests me. ” Experiences in his personal life had a great influence on his compositions. Symphonie Fantastique, written in 1830, is also autobiographical: he subtitled the work Episode in the Life of an Artist. The symphony echoes his feelings for an actress. The Marche au Supplice (march into torture) he described as: “The artist dreams he has killed his beloved, that he has been sentenced to death and is being led to the scaffold. The procession moves to the notes of a march that is now sombre and turbulent, now radiant and stately, and in which boisterous outbursts suddenly dissolve intothe heavy sound of marching feet. ” / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Description Written by Charango masters Horacio Duran and Italo Pedrotti, this Charango Method is the first to use conventional musical notation, and the only bilingual (Spanish and English) text of its kind. These characteristics make the method attractive to musicians with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, interests and skill levels. The method is comprised of two parts: A first section regarding strumming techniques and a second section regarding melodic plucking techniques. The first section provides a clear and precise method for learning the rasgueo repique and tremolo skills central to the Charango repertoire. The second section, meanwhile, provides an indispensable guide to expressive techniques for embellishing melodic lines including hammer-ons and pull-offs, trills, simultaneous melodies and arpeggios. The method is appropriate for a wide range of musical skill levels, from beginners to accomplished Charanguists who want to improve their technical chops. Exercises are clear and progressive. In the event that the student is not familiar with music theory, an appendix clarifies the basics of musical notation. In addition to 201 written exercises for the Charango solo, the method includes 23 South American folk music classics arranged for Charango and Guitar accompaniment. It thus serves as both a pedagogical tool and a source of performance repertoire. The musical scores included in the method are accompanied by a free audio download of exercises as well as repertoire played by recognized Chilean Instrumentalists.

Par KATSKI ANTONI. Souvenir de Cracovie, published circa 1870 with the subtitle Improvisation sur les krakowiak nationaux (an improvisation on the themes of national Krakowiaks), dedicated to Countess Franciszka Komorowska (Madame la Comtesse Françoise de Komorowska) is a very pretty composition which upgrades the folklore to the level of salon music. After several bars of mysterious introduction with little clues of further themes on which the composer would ?improvise? in the piece, there is a direct citation of the melody from a popular song Krakowiaczek jeden (?A Cracovienne had seven horses, he went to war and returned with one?). However, it is not the end of ?playing with Krakowiak? by Katski. In the work we can also find references to another popular song from Kraków Albosmy to jacy tacy (?We are nothing but boys from Kraków, a red hat, a little horseshoe, a red sukmana?). Both Krakowiaks are arranged in an interesting and challenging way. Souvenir de Cracovie, despite its cheerful character, keeps the listener interested until the culmination, in which both melodies are played simultaneously. The entire work ends with a comparatively calm epilogue, which presents the most important motifs of the composition once again. Katski?s composition is an extremely interesting work in Kraków piano literature. Anna Miernik translated by Jolanta Bujas-Poniatowska / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Piano

Fg. Par GERNOT WOLFGANG. ...clever, finely-crafted, interesting modern work for the bassoon (...) Wolfgang's style is fundamentally atonal, but highly developmental, utilizing very interesting melodic and rhythmic motives to bind the music together. The influences of jazz and rock are clearly audible, and the entire structure has a wonderful sense of finesse and completion. (...) If you are looking for a tough-but-fun composition for your next performance, this neat work will fill the bill very well. I recommend it strongly to all you brave bassoonists out there looking for a nifty challenge. (Double Reed, Vol. 31.No. 2) ...This little sketch for bassoon, which highlights both its energetic and its lyrical capabilities, is quite delightful. Even multiphonics are used imaginatively and to musically sensible effect, rather than displaying their more common function as exercises in ugliness. ...' (Walter Simmons, Fanfare Magazine, August 2008)/ Répertoire / Basson

Performance Score and Parts. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. This scholarly-critical edition is based on all the known sources, whether printed or handwritten, that have come down to us for these frequently played pieces. By closely scrutinizing the source material, the editor has arrived at interesting findings that considerably differ from earlier editions of these works. Rather than taking as her principal source Le Clerc’s 1740 print of Sonatas I to VI – an edition probably made without the composer’s consent – the editor has examined the Naples and Wiesentheid manuscripts prepared under Vivaldi’s direct supervision. The editor has also managed to identify a previously unknown source for Sonata RV 44. All departures from the sources in the printed text and all editorial additions are listed in the critical report. Cellists are thus given ready access to every alternative reading, including deleted bars and the many inevitable variants in articulation. A detailed preface provides essential information on sources and their assessment, with a section on performance practice offering valuable suggestions on interpretation.
