zu Bernhard von Weimar von W. Genast. Par GENAST WILHELM / RAFF JOSEPH JOACHIM. Klavier lernen bei Richard Strauss Wenn heute auch weniger populär, galt Joachim Raff dennoch als anerkannter Komponist seiner Zeit mit ansehnlichem musikalischem Einfluss. So ist es bspw. seiner Orchestrierungskunst zu verdanken, dass die Sinfonischen Dichtungen Liszts nicht nur in dessen Klavierkonzepten vorliegen. Ebenso bekannte Tschaikowski seine Bewunderung für Raff und auch Mahler scheint gerade vom selbstbewussten Umgang mit eher populären Formen und Melodien in seiner ersten Musik beeinflusst. Besonders Märsche hat Raff in seinen Orchesterkompositionen bedacht. Die beiden vorliegenden ergänzen die Ouvertüre 'Eine feste Burg ist unser Gott' zur Tragödie 'Bernhard von Weimar' seines Schwagers Wilhelm Genast. Der hohe musikalische wie auch pädagogische Wert dieser Musik zeigt sich in dieser Bearbeitung für Klavier zu 4 Händen von Richard Strauss, der das Werk damit dem Einsatz in Studium und Unterricht öffnete./ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

During the visit to Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1940, Poulenc sketched a little piece for the children of his cousins: Sophie, Sylvie, Benoit, Florence and Delphine Périer, Yvan, Alain, Marie-Christine and Marguerite-Marie Villotte, and their two friends Marthe Bosredon and André Lecoeur. This took the form of a musical background to Jean de Brunhoff's popular illustrated children's story about Babar, a baby elephant whose mother is killed by a huntsman. Fortunately Babar meets a kind elderly lady who dresses him in a fine suit and gives him an impressive motor-car.However, Babar feels homesick for his forests, and is pleased when his cousins, Arthur and Celeste, find him and needs no persuasion to go home with them. Back in the forest, where the King of the Elephants has eaten a poisonous mushroom, Babar is elected to succeed as King. He marries Celeste, and the last we hear of him is thinking of a rosy future as he dreamily looks up at a marvellously star-filled sky.Poulenc's score, to which he returned and completed in 1945, is for a narrator and a Piano, so written that the individual sections offer the pianist a number of self-contained descriptive pieces, such as a Lullaby, a Reverie, a Galop, a Nocturne and so on. Indeed, some of Poulenc's finest Piano music is found in these charming pages.In 1962, Jean Françaix made an orchestral version, and Barbar has been enjoyed by children of all ages all over the world. An English translation of the text was made by Nelly Rieu.This particular edition is arranged for Narrator and Piano duet (1 Piano, 4 hands) and a separate insert with English translation is included. / Piano 4 Mains
