8.25x11.75x0.105
inches. The Full
Score for Peter Maxwell
Davies' fourth in a
series of ten string
quartets commissioned by
the Naxos Recording
company, first performed
by the Maggini Quartet on
20th August 2004 at the
Chapel of the Royal
Palace, Oslo, Norway, as
part of the Olso Chamber
Music Festival. Composer
Note: The fourth Naxos
quartet was written in
January and February of
2004, with the intention
of producing something
lighter and much less
fierce than its
predecessor, an
unpremeditated and
spontaneous reaction to
the illegal invasion of
Iraq. I returned to the
well-known Brueghel
picture of children's
games (1560, now in
Vienna), which had been
the inspiration for my
sixth Strathclyde
Concerto, for flute and
orchestra. These
illustrations liberated
my musical imagination,
but I feel it would limit
the listener's perception
to be too specific about
which game relates to
exactly which section of
the work. Suffice it to
say that there is
vigorous play -
leap-frog, bind the devil
with a cord, truss,
wrestling - alongside
quieter pastimes - masks,
guess whom I shall
choose, courting, odds
and evens. The single
movement juxtaposes these
activities as abruptly
and intimately as they
occur in Brueghel. Rather
as the eye is taken into
different perspectives
and proportions of scale
within the picture,
taking liberties which
would never be present
in, for instance,
Brunelleschi
architectural drawings,
so here, with a constant
sequence of
transformation processes,
I have distorted the
neat, precise
implications of modal
progression, expressed in
the unison opening phrase
(from F to B through A
sharp/B flat), so that
the ear is led, en route,
into the sound
equivalents of strange
passageways and closed
rooms: sicut exposition
ludus. As work on the
quartet progressed I
became aware that I was
reading into, and behind
the games, adult motives
and implications,
concerning aggression and
war, with their
consequences. It was
impossible to escape into
innocent childhood
fantasy. The nature of
the F to B progression
underlying the whole
construction derives from
a passage in the
development of the first
movement of Mahler's
Third Symphony, and the
opening of Schoenberg's
Second String Quartet.
However, unlike in these
models, here a real - if
temporary - sense of
resolution occurs at the
close of the quartet: as
when the curtain falls on
the reconciled Count and
Countess in 'Figaro' one
wonders how long the F/B
truce will hold, and
games break out again.
The quartet is dedicated
to Giuseppe Rebecchini,
Roman architect, and
friend since the
nineteen-fifties. $29.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

680160911271. Known
internationally for
superior flute editions,
Robert Stallman continues
his considerable
expansion of the flute
repertoire with
re-creations, or
“new†works
for flute by Bach,
Mozart, Schubert,
Beethoven, Chopin,
Dvořák, and other
great composers.Conceived
originally as a work for
solo piano, this
arrangement of
Dvořák’s
Suite in A Major for
flute and piano is based
on both the piano and
orchestra versions. It is
one in a series of
Stallman’s
“new†works
for flute. Dvořák
composed the Suite in A
Major in 1894, inspired
by his happy and fruitful
stay in the “New
World†—a
period that produced some
of his greatest works,
full of thematic
freshness, raw energy and
folk influences, both
American and Old World
Czech. The “New
World†Symphony,
Cello Concerto,
“Americanâ€
Quartet, String Quintet
in E≤ Major, the
Violin Sonatina and this
A Major Suite are all cut
from the same musical
cloth—textured
with his personal
impressions of the Wild
West’s fascinating
Indian and Afro-American
music, its God-fearing
and friendly people, its
vast open spaces and its
awe-inspiring natural
beauty. PrefaceConceiv
ed originally as a work
for solo piano, the Suite
in A Major was composed
by Dvořák in 1894,
during his famous
two-year visit to the
United States. He wrote
the work in a mere ten
days, and a year later
made a full orchestration
of it. The Suite was
first performed in this
second version in 1910 in
Prague at the Rudolfinum.
Dvořák, who died
in 1904, never had a
chance to hear a
performance of this
stirring orchestral
realization.The Suite was
inspired by the
composer’s happy
and fruitful stay in the
“New Worldâ€,
especially by his
unforgettable summers
spent in the quiet
Czech-American village of
Spillville, Iowa—a
period that produced some
of his greatest works,
full of thematic
freshness, raw energy and
folk influences, both
American and Old World
Czech. The “New
World†Symphony,
Cello Concerto,
“Americanâ€
Quartet, String Quintet
in Eb Major, the Violin
Sonatina and this A Major
Suite are all cut from
the same musical
cloth—textured
with his personal
impressions of the Wild
West’s fascinating
Indian and Afro-American
music, its God-fearing
and friendly people, its
vast open spaces and its
awe-inspiring natural
beauty.Several of the
Suite’s affecting
melodies find echoes in
these other, better known
compositions of this
American period. Wistful
themes abound in all five
movements, reflecting
Dvořák’s
transformative American
experience as it found
resonance in his own
emotions. Contrasting
with deeply felt,
contemplative passages
are
Dvořák’s
joyous and tempestuous
expressions, which open
the second, third and
final movements.This
arrangement for flute and
piano is based on both
the piano and orchestra
versions. It is one in a
series of my
“new†works
for flute by some of our
greatest composers and I
am delighted to add it to
the collection. I predict
that the A Major Suite
will become a popular
addition to our Romantic
recital repertoire, much
like the Dvořák
Sonatina.—Robert

A Grateful Tail
- Movement by Movement
Siriusly, Dog Star
Sirius, the brightest
star in the night sky,
has been used by
travelers and navigators
for thousands of years as
a guiding star and so it
is here as the opening
movement for the
symphony. Sirius, the
cornerstone to the
constellation Canis
Maggiore or Big Dog sits
at the foot of Orion, the
hunter, leading the way.
Highly cinematic, the
movement evokes both a
musical and visual sense
of the mythological and
mysterious elements of
Sirius and its Dog
Godstar secrets. From the
clarion call of the
opening, Sirius theme,
the sound is buoyant and
frisky emulating the
nature of doggy playtime.
Puppy pleasures abound as
a doggy four-step, my
turn on the traditional
American two-step dance,
is introduced. The
movement transforms into
an actual orchestrated
frolic of small, large
and medium dog barks
beginning with the winds
(smaller dogs) and
ultimately, the big dog,
brass. The movement
climaxes with the coda
or, Dog Park, where the
winds and the brass bark
and play together over
the, doggy ostinato
four-step rhythm,
culminating with the
final call of the Sirius
theme. Let Sleeping Dogs
Lie, Peacefully It's all
in a dog's day and life.
Tranquility presides over
this supremely gentle,
intermezzo-like movement.
After a day of play,
every dog needs rest. Let
Sleeping Dogs Lie, is a
lyrical andante inspired
by the profound serenity
and beauty of a dog at
rest. The Last Will and
Testament of Silverdene
Emblem O'Neill Based on a
powerful piece of prose
written by the American
playwright, Eugene
O'Neill this text was
intended as a consolation
piece for Carlotta, his
wife, who had become
grief-stricken over the
loss of their beloved
dog, the Dalmatian known
as Blemie.Written for a
singing actor who
personifies the role of
Blemie, a dog at the end
of his life, the movement
plays like a one act,
musical drama as we
follow Blemie through a
wonderfully
three-dimensional,
emotional and
psychological journey
writing his Last Will and
Testament, for those who
have loved him. Wagging
the Tail: Ossia Fido's
Lament A life-affirming
rumba/samba using
Blemie's final words from
O'Neill's text, this
final movement employs
the most unique American
musical invention, the
gospel choir. In order to
make the dances come
alive, this movement also
calls upon the colors of
a rhythm section.
Creating the spirit of an
Irish Funeral, the
movement is a joyful and
revival-like celebration
of a dog's life as its
spirit lives on forever
in the hearts and minds
of dog lovers everywhere.
Remember Me, remember me!
My spirit is wagging a
grateful tail. Published

The meaning of
da capo is to return to
the beginning and start
again. A musical process,
which reaches somewhere
but does not end,
beginning again and again
in a different way, from
different basic material
throughout nine stages,
evolves from the starting
tune. The initial tunes
come from Mozart's
notebooks. They are
fragments, ideas for
themes, which in their
majority or not in the
outlined form did not
result in finished
compositions. Péter
Eötvös presents
these tunes to listeners
in a clearly recognisable
way but he immediately
develops and transforms
them. Mozart's themes are
almost immediately
remodelled in the chamber
ensemble, the instruments
of which were
stillunknown in the 18th
century, and the musical
journey is made
especially adventurous in
that the solo (whether
played on the cimbalom or
the marimba) is presented
by a musical instrument
which cannot have been
used in the 18th century.
The work was composed in
winter 2013-2014 at the
invitation of Porto's
Casa da Musica, the
Salzburg Internationale
Stiftung Mozarteum and
New World Symphony,
America's Orchestral
Academy (Miami). The
cimbalom solo was
inspired by the
performance of Hungarian
cimbalom player Miklós

“The Gaubert Cycle:
TheComplete Works for
Flute and Piano by
Philippe
Gaubertâ€. Philip
pe Gaubert
(1879–1941) was a
very important teacher
and flutist in our
classical flute playing
lineage. In this edition
we have gathered his
beautiful, shorter
compositions for flute
and piano all in one
place, to be cherished as
“Gaubert’s
Treasures.â€Philippe
Gaubert personified the
modern French school of
flute playing as
introduced by his teacher
Paul Taffanel
(1844–1908) at the
Paris Conservatory.
Gaubert was a
multitalented musician, a
marvelous flutist as well
as a gifted composer,
teacher and master
conductor. Over his
lifetime he became one of
the most important
musical figures in France
between the World Wars in
the first half of the
twentieth century.
Gaubert’s musical
andpedagogical gifts to
us are passed along
through generations of
students and continue to
touch the hearts of many
who listen to his fine,
and refined,
music.Philippe Gaubert
studied composition at
the Paris Conservatory
with Raoul Pugno, Xavier
Leroux, and then for a
brief time with Charles
Lenepvu. It was after
this study that he won
the famous Prix de Rome
second prize in
composition. Even with
his schooling of theory
and harmony in Paris, he
was deeply influenced by
other composers of the
time, namely Debussy,
Fauré and Dukas.
Between the years of
1905–1914
Gaubert’s early
workswere arrangements
and short pieces written
for the year-end final
exam pieces at the
Conservatory.Between
1914–1918 Gaubert
served in the French Army
during World War I, most
notably in the battle of
Verdun in 1916. This was
considered one of the
largest battles against
the Germans in WWI. He
was wounded but his
creativity level was not
dampened. He was rewarded
for his service and
awarded medals for his
bravery. It was during
this time that he found
the energy to compose his
Deux Esquisses or 2
Scenes, and sketched out
his first flute
sonata.Gaubert composed
his remaining five flute
and piano works after
1922 in Paris, and
clearly his poetic soul
was transformed from the
earlier years. He took in
new forms and styles of
compositions such as a
Suite, a Ballade and a
Sonatine. He also
completed his Second and
Third Sonatas for Flute
and Piano, all of them
dramatic works in terms
of compositional
techniques and grandeur
of tone.Gaubert composed
music easily throughout
his lifetime, especially
during summer breaks when
the orchestra and Paris
Opera seasons were on
hiatus and he was not
conducting. He loved
literature and poetry
which inspired over
thirty vocal works from
1903 through 1938.He also
wrote twenty-six
instrumental chamber
works for other
instruments: oboe,
cornet, clarinet,
trombone, violin, viola,
cello, harp and
combinations of these
instruments with piano.
Some of these were
commissioned jury pieces,
but many were for his
musician friends.Six
full-length stage works,
both ballets and operas
for the stage, several
tone poems and symphonies
were written throughout
his lifetime.This edition
represents eleven out of
the sixteen works from

x 12 inches. For a
long time after
Romanticism had come to
the fore, it was
generally agreed that
Brahms somehow did not
get it: History and
Progress - it was thought
- were proceeding along
one clear path and Brahms
- who was composing
sonatas and symphonies
instead of nocturnes and
symphonic poems - had
taken the wrong way.
Almost one century later,
Schonberg wrote an essay,
Brahms, der
Fortschrittliche (Brahms,
the progressive), in
which he explained that
it wasn't like that at
all.Fully assuming the
risk to appear somehow
irreverent, I have to
confess: Over the years,
I came to the conclusion
that the present - and
the future - can be
created only by loving
the past. As Brahms had
shown us, it is only by
accepting the challenge
of taking our heritage
into our own hands, that
we can create something
new. We cannot avoid
engaging with the past.
Therefore, starting with
my Sinfonia n. 1, I began
to flirt with such a
strong and effective
musical structure like
the sonata form. I
re-read and freely
transformed it, because
it is a sturdy and
resilient structure, but
also a theatrical and
colorful one. For me, it
is a happy structure. And
I think that today more
than ever we need
something like this: We
need to find places -
even imaginary ones -
where we can give
happiness a form of its
own.Nicola Campogrande,
