Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, extremely popular among pianists, are presumably reworkings of pieces originally written for the Violin. Bach, however, succeeded in transferring the diverse idiosyncrasies of Violin technique to the keyboard with such ingenuity that most of today’s pianists also include these concerti in their standard repertoire. The first concerto in d minor is perhaps the most popular – not least because of its jaunty outer movements and the eminently forceful solo part. Now, as a prelude to a series of all of Bach ’s Harpsichord concerti, G. Henle Publishers presents a Piano reduction and study edition(score) of the d-minor concerto. None other than András Schiff, the outstanding Bach expert, has provided fingering suggestions. / Müllemann, Norbert / Répertoire / 2 Pianos, 4 Mains

Par GORDON ANDREW D.. It has been over 20 years since I released the first volume of “100 Ultimate Blues Riffs for Piano/Keyboards” in 1996, my most popular selling book. One of the constants has been the continued popularity of my Blues music instructional books for not only piano/keyboards but also Saxophone, Flute and Guitar. With developments in music software, faster internet download speeds for downloading mp3 audio files, (over 5 hours of downloadable audio backing tracks for this book) I felt it was time to author a 2nd. volume that uses newer software for improved sound quality, . Also, it is the 50th. anniversary since I started to learn to play Blues piano in 1968. I rememberthe wonderful feeling I had when I started to learn from the first two Blues piano books I bought from a music shop along the Charing Cross Road in London, I still have both books “Just Blues” a compilation of Blues, Jazz and Boogie-Woogie songs and “How To Play Blues Piano” by Junior Mance. I have again created 100 Blues riffs with many of them having elements of Rock, Funk, Country, Jazz, Boogie-Woogie, Gospel and Latin styles. The riffs are in the order that I composed them, giving you the learner an element of surprise as to what the next riff is going to sound like. Each of the 100 riffs have been recorded twice, the 1st. time, the piano part with a rhythm backing track and the 2nd. time a rhythm backing track to practice playing along with. I have also created a separate play-a-long track that consists of 10 choruses of the 12 Bar Blues progression. I would hope that you will use each riff to build your own Blues “song” through the 12 Bar Blues progression.

Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI. Dramatic and lyrical by turns, this work displays Rachmaninov's keyboard characteristics: intense Russian flavor, rich and bold sonorities, compelling rhythmic drive, and brilliant virtuosity. Rachmaninov shows here a very fine grasp of the medium of two pianos, his haunting sense of melody, and his richly harmonic and rhythmic foundation. Altogether it ranks as a very important contribution to two-piano literature. Arranged for 2 Pianos, 4 Hands, this edition includes two complete copies of the work./ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Urtext edition reflecting the latest musicological research. With many corrections in the solo part and Orchestral parts. Piano reduction for 2 Pianos with a separate solo Piano part. A must for Pianists,Orchestras and Beethoven scholars. Beethoven?s Piano Concerto No.3 is the only concerto where no authentic manuscript exists for the solo part. The autograph of the score is available whereby the articulation,dynamics and pedal markings are for the most part absent. However, Beethoven oversaw the first printed edition of the solo part (1804) with great diligence. Plate corrections bear witness to the care with whichBeethovenplaced slurs and pedal markings in order to be consistent and unambiguous. By means of a thorough examination of the sources this new Urtext edition presents many corrections in terms of articulation, dynamics andnotes. In particular, the orchestral parts have been corrected for the first time since Beethoven?s lifetime. / Date parution : 2022-02-26/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos

Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI / WARENBERG ALEXANDER (Arr.). What if the probably most popular symphony by Sergei Rachmaninoff were rewritten as a piece for piano and orchestra' This was the idea behind the 'adaptation' of Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 into his Piano Concerto No. 5. All the while, the Russian pianist-composer Alexander Warenberg kept true to Rachmaninoff's style. However, the four movements of the symphony had to be adapted to the common three-movement form of the piano concerto by combining the second and third movements into one 'Adagio'. Warenberg's arrangement has meanwhile been performed many times. A recording with Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy (piano) is available on Brilliant Classics. / Niveau : difficile / Date parution : 2023-05-06/ Répertoire / 2 Pianos
