Piano Reduction including solo part. Par DENISOV EDISON. The catalogue of Edison Denisov's works includes 16 concertos. It was a genre to which he returned time and again throughout his life, from the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra of 1972 to the Double Concerto for Flute, Clarinet and Orchestra of 1996. In Denisov's music the role of the soloist, or rather the protagonist, is extraordinarily important, not so much for its virtuosity as for its confessional character. The solo part is a monologue distinguished by poetic diction and a very personal message from the composer. The dramaturgical conception of the Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra, a reworking of the Viola Concerto of 1986, draws on traditional sonata form, thereby reaffirming the ubiquitous classicism in Denisov's thought. In this late work, we find all the typical features of his style: sinuous melodic lines layered into dense contrapuntal textures, and an interplay of orchestral colours, with pure sonorities contrasting with complex mixtures of sounds. It is a perfect dramaturgy that governs the evolution of the music to the very end. The first movement assumes the role of a sonata-allegro, with the standard formal sections of exposition, development, recapitulation and coda. The second movement is an Adagio for strings. The third takes the form of a little contrasting intermezzo that introduces both new thematic material and a new range of colours. Here tunefulness gives way to pointillism enriched with sonic effects. The only movement with a virtuosic solo part, its nervousness and inner tension set it worlds apart from the second and fourth movements that surround it. The fourth movement assumes the traditional form of a final set of variations. It is the dramaturgical and semantic heart of the concerto. The theme of the variations is Franz Schubert's Impromptu in B-flat major, op. 142, which in this case is 'born' from the celesta as the product of a dodecaphonic string cluster. This finale represents Denisov's homage to his great mentor, Schubert's music being for him a symbol of eternal and universal beauty. 'The attentive listener', Denisov stressed, 'will recognise that the Impromptu theme is already suggested very slowly in the course of the three preceding movements, not only thematically, but also psychologically. That's what makes the appearance of the Schubert theme sound so natural.' The variations relate to the variation genre less in their form than in their spiritual and conceptual metamorphoses. It is, one might say, 'music round about Schubert'. (Ekaterina Kouprovskaia-Denisova)/ Répertoire / Saxophone Alto et Piano

Le Pilgrim Concerto pour Saxophone Alto et Orchestre d?Harmonie fut commandé par le Concours International de Musique de Kerkrade en 2012. Cette pièce de concert exige une certaine virtuosité de la part du soliste ainsi que de l?orchestre.Cette ?uvre est tour à tour minimaliste romantique parfois expressive mais elle emploie aussi un langage musical contemporain. La naïveté qui en résulte dans la musique a été délibérément créée pour exprimer la simplicité d?un pèlerin. Celui-ciest parfois calme et méditatif parfois empli d?une impatience angoissée d?arriver à son but. Il suit son propre chemin mais il dialogue continuellement avec lui-même et les merveilles du monde qui l?entoure.

Par DAVID VINCENT. Rhizome : tige souterraine vivace émettant des racines et des tiges aériennes. Musique vivace, émanant d'une racine simple, pour s'étendre vers de multiples directions horizontales ou verticales.

Clémence de Grandval (1828-1907) est l'une des rares femmes dont les compositions furent données régulièrement en création, lors de la seconde moitié du XIXo siècle.Tout d'abord élève de Flotow, elle se perfectionna auprès de C. Saint-Saëns, qui lui prodigua de nombreux encouragements à persévérer dans cette voie, en dépit des préjugés sexistes de ses pairs.On lui doit de nombreuses oeuvres, touchant tous les genres : musique instrumentale, musique de chambre, musique symphonique, musique religieuse, opéra? Au concert, l'ensemble de sa production fut toujours très bien accueillie, tant par le grand public que par la critique.En 1878, elle signa un concerto pour hautbois à l'intention de Georges Gillet, professeur au Conservatoire. Ce même artiste est le dédicataire d'une suite de ' 4 morceaux ' pour cor anglais et piano, parus en 1865 (seuls deux morceaux ont été édités, sur les quatre prévus initialement). La présente restitution propose ces deux pièces dans une version pour saxophone alto, instrument dont le registre est rigoureusement identique à celui du cor anglais, ce dernier étant très rarement usité en musique instrumentale. / Saxophone Et Piano Ou Orgue

As the Saxophone is commonly associated with the jazz style classical music for the instrument had always been lacking.
