La harpe a une image d'instrument de salon au répertoire réduit. Pourtant ses pratiquants sont en nombre croissant et son répertoire se distingue par sa diversité et sa richesse. La harpe est bien vivante. Cet ouvrage redonne enfin toute sa place aux compositeurs du monde entier, du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Les notices alphabétiques décrivent et interrogent leurs relations à la harpe, celtique et à double mouvement, dans leur vie, dans leur ?uvre ou leur pratique. Le lecteur trouvera à la fin de chaque notice la liste des ?uvres pour harpe et harpe celtique, directement composées ou transcrites. D'amples nomenclatures complètent l'ensemble : ?uvres actuellement/anciennement éditées/jouées pour harpe/harpe celtique, ainsi qu'une discographie. L'approche d'Annie Glattauer est historique. C'est ainsi que le lecteur découvrira qu'un air de ballet pour ensemble d'instruments du début du XIXe siècle évolue en solo de harpe. L'étude est aussi organologique, renouvelant ainsi l'approche de l'instrument comme de l'interprétation. Plus particulièrement, la question des rapports avec le piano traverse tout l'ouvrage. Le Dictionnaire du répertoire de la harpe, premier du genre, s'adresse aux amateurs, aux interprètes débutants comme aux professionnels. De Marcel Grandjany à Franz Liszt, de Marcel Tournier à Charles-Marie Widor, toute la diversité du répertoire apparaît. Puisse ce dictionnaire contribuer à donner aux harpistes plus de liberté et de choix
The composer writes: 'My approach to writing these works for intermediate level ...(+)
The composer writes: 'My approach to writing these works for intermediate level lever harp was to fully embrace the diatonic and/or modal properties of the lever harp and to write into the strengths of the instrument. I also wanted to create works which whilst embedded in stylistically familiar territory also open up less familiar technical and musical elements for new players. For example the ???celtic??? themed works Coire Fhionn Lochan and The Road to Kilchurn Castle are derived from very familiar elements but which challenge the players ability to deal with irregular times and juxtaposed rhythmic material and Reverie which tests the harpists ability to maintain evennesswhile controlling gradual changes of tempo and dynamic within a very familiar technical landscape. One of the other important things was to write works specifically for the lever harp (as opposed to pedal harp) especially given that so much lever harp repertoire consists of arrangements or re-arranged pedal harp music. The lever system offers many advantages over the pedal system including the opportunity to employ chromatic possibilities that would otherwise be impossible. So some of these works indulge and celebrate these idiosyncrasies. I hope you will enjoy playing them as much as I enjoyed writing them.'

L'écriture d'un concerto pour harpe et orchestre est très difficile sans doute, mais tout à fait fascinante et inspirante. L'idée de ce concerto m'a été suggérée par la harpiste tchèque Jana Bouskova. L'oeuvre s'inspire de la ville de Prague. Encadrées par huit mouvements, maintes séquences reflètent sans aucune logique narrative divers phénomènes, situations, images et allusions étroitement liés à cette ville. Ce sont de simples dédicaces. J'aimerais un jour écrire une version pour harpe, quatuor à cordes et percussions dynamiques avec des mouvements sans déplacement. Les nouvelles dimensions de la musique sont la profondeur, la transparence, la fluidité et la luminosité.Krystof Maratka / Harpe Et Orchestre
