35 pieces on the quirky sideInstrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 56Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. L?illet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt, Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures, but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers, such as Mozart?s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod?s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky?s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Ji?ovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey and Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey and Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.Content : Bartók: Melody with interruptions (from Mikrokosmos III) - Benda: Presto (from Sonata IX) - Prokofieff: Rain and the rainbow (from Musiques d'enfants op. 65 no. 8) - Heller: Vivace op. 47 no. 7 - Anonymus (early 17th century): Dance and Afterdance (from Klavierbuch der Jungfrau Regina Clara im Hoff) - Grieg: Siri Dale song op. 66 no. 4 - Binkerd: Country Dance - Liszt: Resignazione - Bartók: Scherzo (from Mikrokosmos III) - Telemann: Presto (from TWV 30:25) - Gurlitt: Impromptu op. 224 no. 5 - Mozart: Funeral March for Signor Maestro Contrapunto - Tchaikovsky: The peasant plays the mouth-organ (from Album pour enfants op. 39 no. 13) - Benjamin: Silent and soft and slow descends the snow -Davies: Piano piece no. 23 - D.

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók composed his first pedagogical collection For Children between 1908 and 1911. The first edition was issued between 1909 and 1911 in four volumes, comprising two of Hungarian and two of Slovak folk song arrangements. After moving to America, Bartók considered it important to produce new editions of his earlier works. Thus in autumn 1943, together with his new publisher Boosey & Hawkes, he planned a new edition of For Children, and to this end completely revised the collection. Although Bartók had already completed his revision by the end of 1943, the revised edition was only issued in 1946. The pieces were published without titles in the first edition, but the folksong lyrics were included. These lyrics, deemed unnecessary for the non-Hungarian audiences, were not taken over to the American revised edition however, a significant number of pieces were provided with a title conveying their mood and their background in folk music and folk life. The American edition omitted the folk songs lyrics that seemed unnecessary to the audience there, but the titles of the first edition were replaced with English titles (some with the same meaning and some with modified interpretations) conveying each song's mood and background in folk music and folk life.The present edition - which contains the same scores as those in Volume 37 of the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15037) - is based on the revised version that the composer made in 1943 for the new edition, to which he also referred to as ''corrected''. We have added Hungarian translations to the English titles but we have also restored the original collection of folk song texts with parallel English translations. The pieces discarded from the revised version, as well as early versions that are significantly different from the revised version, are included in the Appendix. This publication contains a preface and editorial comments in both Hungarian and English./ Recueil / Piano
