Piano Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra (2009) by Poul Ruders.Commissioned by The Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Jerome Lowenthal. Solo Piano part: WH31129CProgramme Note In this day and age when faced with the challenge of writing a 'Piano Concerto' e.g. a piece for symphony orchestra and an all-dominating and virtuosic solo Piano part one has two options: either: DO or do NOT go for it wholesale exploiting and enjoying the conrnucopia of sonorous treasures offered by the combination of the orchestra and the 'Grand Piano'. I have opted to go for it. When writing forone of our great young international Piano stars it would be absurd and a waste to do anything less and only 'nibble at the goodies'.However the piece is not a big clunky 'machine'. Rather it is a transparently orchestrated neo-classic (for the lack of a better work) composition in three movements lastign approximately 25 minutes.The piece begins with a moderately paced opening in which the Piano gradually gathers momentum and strength beginning with the most gentle of motifs. In this movement the soloist and orchestra fo not always agree and the vigilant listener will observe the disparity between the two. Following a swift up-beat coda the movement stops almost in mid-breath on one of the gentle Piano chords taken from the very opening.The extreme simplicity of the second movement 'Semplice' (the opening Piano solo bears the marking: 'slightly hesitant - like a child practicing') is after having been joined by the Vibraphone Harp and solo Violin suddenly violated with unprecedented brutality by the rest of the orchestra which virtually 'lies in wait - panting to pounce'. But eventually calm and order is restored.The finale is a crazy rondo of sorts. The marking 'Avanti Risoluto' (Forward with Resolve) is a bit of an understatement. It is a full throttle no hold barred ride -

for Pianoforte and Orchestra op. 37-Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.3 is the only concerto where no authentic manuscript exists for the solo part. The autograph of the score is available whereby the articulation dynamics and pedal markings are for the most part absent. However Beethoven oversaw the first printed edition of the solo part (1804) with great diligence. Plate corrections bear witness to the care with which Beethoven placed slurs and pedal markings in order to be consistent and unambiguous. By means of a thorough examination of the sources this new Urtext edition presents many corrections in terms of articulation dynamics and notes. Inparticular the orchestral parts have been corrected for the first time since Beethoven’s lifetime.Piano reduction with a separate solo Piano part.A must for pianists orchestras and Beethoven scholars.

For Pianoforte And Orchestra-With numerous corrections.Piano reduction with a separate solo Piano part.The autograph to Beethoven?s Piano Concerto No. 4 is lost. For every new edition which has appeared during the course of time there have been only two authentic sources to draw upon; the copyist?s manuscript of the score with Beethoven?s own corrections and the first edition in parts from 1808 which was published in Vienna and which contains a few revisions dated after the aforementioned manuscript.Though no new sources have been available for this new edition numerous editorial emendations which have prevailed in all previous editions (evenUrtext editions) have now been corrected.Thus this new Bärenreiter Urtext edition presents Beethoven?s famous work in the clarity which it deserves.

Concerto in F for Piano and Orchestra-Gershwin???s Concerto was premiered on December 3 1925 in Carnegie Hall ??? the epicentre of New York???s classical music scene. It belongs to a group of self-imposed experiments??? with which the composter sought to make inroads into serious??? music: I have only written three ???opuses??? so far ??? ???The Blue Monday Opera ??? ???The Rhapsody in Blue??? and the ???Concerto.??? I have devoted much time to these works but they are of course not my regular work. They are experiments ??? laboratory work in American music.??? For his edition Norbert Gertsch reviewed a multitude of autograph and printed sources in the USA and for the first time presents an Urtext edition of this very popular pianoconcerto suffused by the jazz idiom. At the same time Breitkopf and H?rtel offers both the full score and orchestral parts by the same editor.

for Piano and Orchestra-Mozart perfected the form of the modern piano concerto which from about 1750 begins to show its affinity with sonata form in his 21 concertos for solo piano and orchestra. The D minor piano concerto K.466 is one of the few concertos which remained in concert repertoire in the years following Mozart’s death. After the resuscitation of the other concertos it remained the most popular of all Mozart’s works in this genre and there can scarcely be a pianist who has not studied it or played it in a concert.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionFull score performance material (BA4873) two-piano reduction (BA4873-90) and study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP147)available for sale
