Now that the manuscripts of the organ sonatas have resurfaced, it has finally become possible to form an acquaintance with the major part of Giacomo Puccini's early compositions in Lucca, which until now were known only from anecdotes. The present selection with 12 works sheds light on this segment of his oeuvre, scheduled to appear in a complete single-volume scholarly edition in the Edizione Nazionale delle Opere di Giacomo Puccini (ENOGP, II/2.1).

Confluence was commissioned by the Organ Artist Series of Pittsburgh in celebration of its twentieth anniversary in 1999. Christa Rakich gave the premier at the closing concert of the season at Calvary Episcopal Church by in April of 1999. It has been performed frequently since that time. The title was given to honor the joining together or confluence of the three rivers of Pittsburgh: the Allegheny, the Monongalela, and the Ohio. Confluence is a curious hybrid related to both the sonata and rondo forms. It is of the ABABA design with the final A quite extended by polyphonic games and a very noisy and triumphant epilogue. The first idea is driving, rhythmic, nervous and agitated. The second is quiet, gentle and pastoral, that slowly moves in its mysterious ways, closing with a plaintive row of a dozen different pitches. The composer delights in the challenge of making tone rows as approachable and sing-able as possible. Both ideas make slightly varied restatements. At the end, fugal exploitation of the first idea is followed by that row, entering with stentorian grandeur in full pedal, heralding the triumphant close. This row, like the month of March is referred to frequently as coming in like a Iamb, going out like a lion.

Chopin's works for piano and strings were usually made for a specific occasion, and we owe their existence to the repertoire needs of specific individuals. The exception is the Sonata in G minor for cello, the last work by the composer intended for publication, a work reflecting his current style, highly reflective, the result of imagination encroaching into post-romantic areas. Chopin's chamber works belong to the regular concert repertoire. These works were edited by by I. J. Paderewski, L. Bronarski and J. Turczy ski.

RAG-SONATA - Maja Solveig Kjelstrup RatkjeDette lille stykket folger form som en sonate, med klare hoved- ogside-tema. Temaene horer sammen, og maten de er utledet pa folgerklassiske prinsipper som omvending og variasjon. Pa overflaten er deten tydelig inspirasjon fra ragtime-musikk, derfor ogsa tittelen Rag-sonata.
MOMENTS - Ketil VeaSatsen er en slags assosiasjon til klaverets uttrykkstradisjoner - memories om instrumentets idiomatiske muligheter slik jeg har bruktdem, men uten a pedagogisere, bortsett fra at jeg bevisst har unngatttekniske vanskeligheter, likevel slik at satsen kunne gis en bredklanglig utpensling. Hele verket bygger pa motivene i de to forstetakter. Satsens emosjonelle foringer vil jeg ikke si noe naermere om,de er ikke avgjorende for interpretasjonen.
INVENSJON OG KORAL - Eyvind SolasInvensjon og Koral er karakterstykker. Bade fortid og natid ertilstede i denne musikken, men den handler mer om uttrykk enn om stilog teknikk. Hva slags uttrykk? Det er opp til den enkelte utover afinne ut av. For her ligger utfordringen!
ANDANTE CANTABILE - Trygve MadsenDette stykket er bare en ovelse i finger-legato-spill, en sterkt forsomt og snart glemt ovelse
KONTINUUM - Bjorn KruseKontinuum betyr en organisk sammenheng, eller en utvikling fra noetil noe annet hvor overgangen er gradvis glidende. I dette stykketville jeg prove en spilleteknikk som handler nettopp om dette, a bindetonene sammen enkeltvis i en slags flytende strom, stadig pa vei motnoe annet.
SPILL - Magne Hegdal'Spill' er en kombinasjon av spontane ideer og streng struktur. Dettilfeldige kommer til uttrykk i musikkens stadige tilbakevending tiltidligere situasjoner (steder vi har vaert for). Det er som a leteetter vegen i en labyrint; eller som i et spill der terningen forlangerat en ma ga tilbake til et tidligere punkt i forlopet. Jeg synesmusikken har et litt uvirkelig preg - kanskje som et spill itussmorke... Spilleanvisningene i parentes er ment som forslag ellersom paminnelser.
4 MINIATYRER - Eivind BueneMusikken i 4 Miniatyrer foreligger i to versjoner: Som her, ifire enkeltsatser, og som Studie no. 3, hvor materialet i de fireminiatyrene utfolder seg mer eller mindre simultant. I 4 Miniatyrer blir de musikalske problemstillingene utforsket med tydeligeavgrensninger. Miniatyr no. 1, 2 og 4 byr pa noen rytmiskeutfordringer, mens no. 3 har en enkel, gjennomsiktig struktur, ogdermed ogsa andre utfordringer for pianisten. I den forste satsenforflytter en akkord seg i paralleller i en ustabil og springenderytmikk, samtidig som den vokser fra to - til firklang. Enkelte lengretoner blir liggende i bakgrunnen som en kontrast. Andre sats spiller pakontrasten mellom en ensom melodi i ytterregisteret og brutale, korteanslag i midtregisteret. Her er ogsa store sprang et tema. Tredje satser en liten koral, hvor forholdet mellom melodi og harmoni folger helttradisjonelle monstre. I den fjerde satsen smyger en rytmisk ustabilmelodi seg rundt en jevn, hard puls med gjentatte toner.
DYRISK STYKKER - Wolfgang PlaggeI tillegg til a vaere musikalske og humoristiske utfordringer erstykkene rent pedagogisk sett ogsa tenkt a forberede elevene pasamspill- og kammermusikk-situasjoner. Elevene blir utfordret til aflytte sine egne grenser ved at de far oppgaver som krever andre formerfor informasjonsopptak. Elevenes fysiske sa vel som mentaleaksjonsradius utvides.
VENT! - Synne SkouenHva er dette lille stykket? En smakranglete dialog? Et forsok pa astanse noe eller noen i flukten? En beskrivelse av ulike temperamenter?- Eller kanskje bare en ovelse i a frasere, og lytte mellomnotelinjene?
INTERMEZZO - Terje BjorklundI Intermezzo forenes tre korte motiver av tre komponister fra1900-tallets klaver-litteratur (minst to av disse burde vaere velkjentefor pianister). jeg har lenge folt at disse tre motivene horer sammen, og med denne bestillingen fikk jeg anledning til a forene dem.Intermezzo (mellomspill) beskriver vandringen fra det ene motivet ogtil det neste. Musikken kan godt spilles som om den var improvisert.

This compact sinfonia is an early example of a true chamber sinfonia: that is, an offshoot of the Italian-style operatic overture intended from the start to be a free-standing composition for use in either public or private concerts. Wolff’s sinfonia adopts the usual Fast-Slow-Fast format, adopting the sonata form and style pioneered by Italian composers but developed more fully in Germany during the central decades of the eighteenth century. This composition, full of striking and effective contrasts of dynamics, mood and thematic content, anticipates in places the Sturm und Drang of middle-period Haydn and the finely sculpted melodic lines of C. P. E. Bach.

Fresh from the success of his Sonata for Flute and Piano (114-40463), and with some prodding by Sir James Galway, Liebermann went on to produce a trifecta of flute concerti - the Concerto for Flute and Orchestra (416-41186), the Concerto for Piccolo and Orchestra (416-41174), and, here, the Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra. Commissioned by harpist Hyun Sun Na, the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony, and the Dallas Symphony, the Concerto was given its world premiere in 1995 by Galway (flute), Kathy Kienzel (harp), and the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Edo de Waart. The Concerto's premiere recording was by Galway (flute), Hyun Sun Na (harp), and the London Mozart Players conducted by Lowell Liebermann.

At first sight, this publication appears to merely be a collection of pieces due to the lack of drier technical studies that are characteristic of tutors. Yet the selection of the works, their order according to the development of ensemble playing, and the advice towards technical realization included after the foreword - these all make this publication a tutor. The works form a cross-section of a longer period of the history of chamber music and offer an insight into the different methods of composition.Volume II introduces the Baroque trio sonata through the works of the greatest masters (Vivaldi, Corelli, Albinoni, F. Couperin, Purcell and Bach). The two violin parts do not gobeyond the 3rd position nor the cello parts beyond the 4th position.

These two sonatas/sinfonias survive in Durham Cathedral Library as part of a collection of numerous late 17th and early 18th century Italian instrumental compositions which contain a substantial amount of music by other composers with Mantuan connections, Tomaso Albinoni and Marc’Antonio Ziani. MS M.175 contains a score of these works whilst MS M.193 holds a set of parts, although sadly the tenor viola part is missing. The parts, which are in the north European portrait format, were probably copied from the scores which are in the Italian oblong format and in a different hand. The scores possibly hail from a source close to the composer judging from the high degree of accuracy on behalf of the copyist and also due to the biographical information contained therein; the work in A minor records the date of 1697 and his post at the Mantuan court – Maestro di Cappella di S.A.S. di Mantova, whilst the work in C is inscribed Fatta per la Signora Cati, probably alluding to one of the ladies of the court.

“Composed in 1978 by Henri Dutilleux, Timbres, Space, Movement is a work for Orchestra, also named ?The starry night? after a painting by Van Gogh. It was commisioned by Mstislav Rostropovich for the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington and is dedicated to Charles Münch. This great orchestral work lasts approximately 20 minutes and depicts the content of the painting. It is written for a full orchestra without Violins or Violas. A sketch of the placement of the instruments is given in the book as its disposition differs from a full orchestra: The Cellos placed in a half-circle in front of the conductor. The Cellos represents the space with twirling solos and more stagnant sections while the lack of Violins and Violas is for the quiet and motionless part of the painting. The solo of the Winds and Drums characterizes the clouds and the light of the moon and the stars. It is divided in two parts: 1. Nébuleuse (Nebula) and 2.Constellations, which are divided by a Cello interlude. Henri Dutilleux was internationally acclaimed for his work winning prizes such as the Gold Medal of the Royal Philharmonic Society and the UNESCO's International Rostrum of Composers, amongst many others. His work also includes a Piano sonata, two symphonies, the Violin concerto 'L'arbre des songes' (The tree of dreams) and the Cello concerto 'Tout un monde lointain' (A whole distant word).â€.

Sensing was written partly as a 'prelude' to Scriabin's 9th Piano Sonata ('Black Mass'). In tribute to Scriabin the music explores a variety of keyboard 'touch' and 'colour/taste', in terms of harmony and texture, moving from a hesitant, fragmentary opening towards music more sustained and expressive.

La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables » du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.Cette sonate dite facile ou « sonata semplice » est la plus célèbre de Mozart. Son sous-titre est trompeur car elle n’est pas aussi facile que l’on pourrait croire. En effet, la maîtrise pianistique et la science de Mozart échouent à révéler la réelle difficulté de cette sonate. Sa création date du 26 juin 1788, peu d’années avant la disparition du compositeur. La finalité de cette création serait mi-pédagogique, mi-commerciale d’où l’objet de son surnom.Cette pièce a trois mouvements : Allegro, Andante et Rondo-allegretto. Elle débute par un allegro sur un tempo assez allant avec une basse appelée basse d’Alberti en rythme de croche, se déployant tout au long du mouvement. La structure du premier mouvement est une forme sonate. La mélodie comporte deux sujets sur la tonique et à la réexposition se présente le thème sur la sous-dominante. La basse dAlberti exposée dans ce premier mouvement est développée d’une manière assez étendue en fluidité dans le deuxième mouvement, l’andante.Seul l’allegro est représenté dans cette partition, ce premier mouvement, très connu, ensorcelle de nombreux pianistes de tous niveaux grâce à la relative aisance de son interprétation et à l’enchantement et à la frivolité qui s’en dégage.

At First Light was commissioned by Eric Bruskin, a resident of Philadelphia, USA, in memory of his mother. Eric had a longstanding enthusiasm for my work, and I was touched to be the person he approached for a task which is both a privilege and a daunting responsibility. In a sense, no music can ever measure up to the weight of love or the hope of consolation vested in it under such circumstances - but in memory I carry the deaths of both my own parents, and I was able to draw upon that. Eric's fondness for my Cello Sonata (itself written in memoriam) led him to ask that I include a solo 'cello part in the new work - but his attachment also to my polyphonic sacred choral writing meant that he wanted a centrepiece which would be both a showcase of that approach and the celebration of a life well lived. Therefore, the seven movements of At First Light arrange themselves as a series of slow meditations surrounding an exuberant 9-minute motet in which the lamenting cello falls temporarily silent.Eric's Jewish faith meant that approaching an agnostic humanist brought up within the Anglican tradition was hardly free of problems! Gradually, though, I was able to win his approval for a collated mosaic of texts. This embraces some liturgical Latin (necessary for the motet) as the shared preserve of broad western culture in general, but balances it with a secular approach to loss, celebration, remembrance and the many shades of our mourning those whom we see no longer. Eric was adamant that he did not want the title Requiem; but what has emerged is still a form of semi-secular Requiem in all but name, taking its title instead from a phrase in the poem by Thomas Blackburn set as the third movement. This seemed to suggest succinctly how the loss of one very close to us is an awakening into an unfamiliar world where everything is changed. Following the exuberant central movement, the texts by the Lebanese-born Kahlil Gibran and the US, Kentuckian poet Wendell Berry first address the departed loved one directly, then place us within an imaginary funeral cortege, where the perennial and universal in human experience become personal without subscribing explicitly to any particular faith (or lack of it). The final text of all is a translation of a Hebraic prayer, requested and provided by Eric Bruskin, which serves to mirror its Latin counterpart heard at the outset.Throughout, the lamenting cello represents a commentary on the experience articulated in the text. It evokes and, in a sense, tries to embrace and sanctify the individual existential journeys of the bereft, as they in turn seek to make their own sense of what the short-lived Second World War poet Alun Lewis called 'the unbearable beauty of the dead' (movement 5).In a modern world hostage to ever greater menace, displacement, bloodshed and anguish, I hope fervently that this music not only brings a measure of solace to the person who commissioned it, but also makes its own small contribution to bailing out the sinking ship of humanity.

As well as 20 organ sonatas and seven collections of stand-alone organ pieces with opus numbers, Rheinberger composed a whole range of smaller works for organ methods or organ collections for his favorite instrument, mainly at the request of colleagues and friends. The Prelude in G major by Nikolaus Bruhns arranged by Rheinberger in 1882 specifically “for concert performance†shows Rheinberger as an editor skilled at “recreating†older works. He added individual voices or chords to the original composition, and occasionally restructured the part-writing – an interesting version for performing on a late 19th-century organ.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

ABRSM Syllabus title, Grade 5 The original source of these sonatas for cello and double bass duo was a collection created by G.A. Perti and his pupils in Bologna around 1695. Among the easy and small-scale movements (at most 28 measures long), the most quintessential dances of the Baroque era are represented.Some of these compositions can be played after a mere 3 years of instrumental study, therefore music students can use them as an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of baroque style. The simple development of the continuo allows for it to be played by a pupil performing alongside their teacher. The pieces also sound great when played on two cellos.
