35 pieces on the quirky sideInstrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 56Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. L?illet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt, Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures, but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers, such as Mozart?s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod?s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky?s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Ji?ovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey and Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey and Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.Content : Bartók: Melody with interruptions (from Mikrokosmos III) - Benda: Presto (from Sonata IX) - Prokofieff: Rain and the rainbow (from Musiques d'enfants op. 65 no. 8) - Heller: Vivace op. 47 no. 7 - Anonymus (early 17th century): Dance and Afterdance (from Klavierbuch der Jungfrau Regina Clara im Hoff) - Grieg: Siri Dale song op. 66 no. 4 - Binkerd: Country Dance - Liszt: Resignazione - Bartók: Scherzo (from Mikrokosmos III) - Telemann: Presto (from TWV 30:25) - Gurlitt: Impromptu op. 224 no. 5 - Mozart: Funeral March for Signor Maestro Contrapunto - Tchaikovsky: The peasant plays the mouth-organ (from Album pour enfants op. 39 no. 13) - Benjamin: Silent and soft and slow descends the snow -Davies: Piano piece no. 23 - D.

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. 55 pianistes internationaux célèbres ont pu être convaincus de choisir chacun une sonate pour piano de Haydn, afin de la parrainer en lui conférant ses doigtés personnels – une sorte de «Who’s who» du monde contemporain du piano. Les Éditions G. Henle proposent ici ce classique dans une édition revue, et habillée de neuf pour tous les pianistes, et nous sommes ainsi sûrs d’assurer aux sonates de Haydn leur place dans la vie musicale actuelle et future. Le volume I contient les premières sonates, encore composées dans l’esprit des débuts du classicisme: une musique plaisante, agréable à jouer, souvent d’un niveau de difficulté accessible, et sans laquelle l’enseignement du piano moderne serait pour ainsi dire impensable. Régulièrement, l’authenticité de quelques sonates de ce groupe a été remise en question – la préface d’Armin Raab, le directeur scientifique de l’Institut Joseph Haydn, donne ici une information exhaustive sur les plus récentes connaissances liées à cet important complexe thématique. Doigtés: Klaus Schilde (Hob. XVI:1 Ut major) Sylvia Hewig-Tröscher (Hob. XVI:2 Si bémol majeur) Michael Schneidt (Hob. XVI:3 Ut major) Sophie Pacini (Hob. XVI:4 Ré majeur) Jan Philip Schulze (Hob. XVI:5 La majeur) Valentina Lisitsa (Hob. XVI:6 Sol majeur) Yaara Tal (Hob. XVI:7 Ut majeur) Markus Bellheim (Hob. XVI:8 Sol majeur) Carmen Piazzini (Hob. XVI:9 Fa majeur) Jacob Leuschner (Hob. XVI:10 Ut majeur) Silke Avenhaus (Hob. XVI:11 Sol majeur) Benjamin Moser (Hob. XVI:12 La majeur) Emanuel Ax (Hob. XVI:13 Mi majeur) Sa Chen (Hob. XVI:14 Ré majeur) Andreas Boyde (Hob.
