This remarkable book contains twelve short musical excerpts of great instrumental works—“mini scores” designed to accompany any instrumental conducting texts and intended to be performed in any instrumental conducting class. Each excerpt presents specific challenges for developing conductors to explore as they acquire knowledge, gain experience, and develop conducting techniques. The orchestration of each excerpt is designed to be flexible while at the same time providing high-quality music for use in any instrumental conducting class. The full score and parts of each excerpt, all in one spiral-bound book, are designed to help any conducting student mark and memorize a score, learn to conduct using the limited instrumentation in a typical conducting class, and experience working with a wide range of repertoire. Even if players are not able to cover all the parts for an excerpt, there are still numerous possibilities for using this music in a classroom setting. States author John M. Laverty: “I hope this resource will give you the materials to enhance your level of conducting skill, and as a result give you confidence to step in front of live musicians playing real instruments and make music.” Excerpts from: Brahms: Symphony No. 1, op. 68: Mvt. IV, Adagio Fučík: The Florentiner March, op. 214 Janáček: Lachian Dances, op. 2: “Pilky” and “Starodálvný” Mahler: Symphony No. 3: Mvt.

With a duration of 17 mn, the eleven preludes for piano op 78 have been composed in March 2018. Together with the seven preludes op 70 and the six preludes op 77, they form a group of 24 preludes which are didicated to my son Jean Gagnaire. They are a remember of my travel on board of the Transsiberian Train in August 2017. Melodic, resonant or rhythmic, and supported by rich chords, they offer a varied set of writing for the piano. They also highlight the expressive qualities of the pianist.

Julius Fucik (1872-1916) was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied under Antonin Dvorák and at a young age played in military bands and later became bandmaster, a profession he practiced in various cities with many bands. In 1913 he settled in Berlin where he started his own music publishing house. As a composer Fucik is known for his light entertaining music however he also wrote chamber music, songs, choral works, a mass, a requiem and an unfinished opera. Many of his works have fallen into oblivion but many of his marches such as Einzug der Gladiatoren, Regimentskinder and Florentiner Marsch are still often played. With the concert overture Marinarella, Fucik takes us toan imaginary seaside resort on a beautiful spring day. Marinarella, a girl of the sea, accompanies us on our stroll. Leisurely walking couples on the boulevard, the murmur of the sea, fragments of a waltz melody from a café and a concert band performing a promenade concert pass you by. A fantastic opening work for any concert.

Met de concertouverture Marinarella neemt de Tsjechische componist Julius Fucik ons mee naar een denkbeeldige badplaats aan de kust op een mooie lentedag. Marinarella, een meisje van de zee, vergezelt ons op onze wandeling.Slenterende paartjes op de boulevard, het ruisen van de zee, flarden van een walsmelodie uit een café en een blaasorkest dat een promenadeconcert verzorgt passeren de revue. De vorm van deze ouverture is eenvoudig: na een snelleen luide opening volgt een langzaam, ongedwongen deel waarin enige solopassages zijn verwerkt. De afsluiting is weer krachtig en snel.

Julius Fucik (1872-1916) hat sich als Komponist vor allem mit Marschmusik wie dem Florentiner Marsch aber auch mit Werken in anderen Genres einen Namen gemacht. Mit dieser Konzertouvertüre entführt er uns auf einen Spaziergang ans Meer, in charmanter Begleitung eines Mädchens namens Marinarella. Gemütlich am Boulevard entlang schlendernd, schnappen wir verschiedene Geräusche und Konzerte auf. Ihr Publikum wird die Musik gerne auf diesen einfach strukturierten, aber sehr unterhaltsamen musikalischen Spaziergang begleiten!
