Par SCARLATTI / GILBERT. Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this ninth volume is indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti 's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families. The ninth volume, comprising Sonatas 408-457, includes many of the popular and recognised Sonatas in a variety of keys. Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families, his Sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre./ Répertoire / Clavier

Par PERONNE PATRICK. A la question: 'peut-on enseigner le jazz ?', il n'y a pas si longtemps, la réponse était: 'ça ne s'apprend pas, il faut laisser parler l'instinct', etc. Les choses ont heureusement bien changé. Et s'il est toujours vrai qu'on ne peut transformer un musicien débutant en compositeur génial, on peut en tout cas lui indiquer comment faire fonctionner son imagination. C'est ce qui est merveilleusement prouvé avec les volumes que Patrice Galas et Pierre Cammas ont mis des années, d'un travail extraordinaire, à faire prendre forme. Et quelle forme! Tous les accords, des milliers d'idées mélodiques et rythmiques, toutes les sortes d'accompagnements possibles - on peut dire que tout y est et cette véritable encyclopédie des musiques modernes, dont le jazz, devrait être considérée comme indispensable à tous ceux qui, débutants ou pas, cherchent à se familiariser avec ce monde infini de la recherche musicale. Martial Solal Souvent dans une partition, il y a des chiffrages: C7, Am, Ab79, etc... A quoi correspondent-ils? Quand vous avez envie de composer, si vous vous accompagnez au piano, à l'orgue, au synthé, vous vous demandez: quel accord vais-je faire, je n'en connais pas assez! La même chose quand vous utilisez votre ordinateur, votre séquenceur. Voilà pourquoi j'ai écrit ces 5724 accords - ils sont à chaque fois dans tous les tons avec l'accord de base et ses renversements. Les renversements sont des accords différents par rapport à l'accord de base mais construits à partir des mêmes notes de cet accord. Chaque accord renversé a une sonorité qui lui est propre. Donc, vous utiliserez tel ou tel renversement, non seulement en fonction du déplacement de vos doigts, mais aussi de votre choix de sonorité harmonique. En fait ce livre est une boîte de couleurs... harmoniques. / Niveau : Elémentaire / variété - jazz / Etude / Clavier
