Compo sed as an organ solo by the 17-year-old Ives for his own performance purposes, the beloved Variations on America is a treat for any occasion, whether a holiday concert, a serious recital, or other special event. Danny Holt’s transcription for Piano, Four Hands adds a dazzling new option to play at home or on stage, taking best advantage of Ives’ tremendous contrasts in color, dynamics, and texture.
Composed when Charles Ives was a teenager, Variations on “America” is both a convenient introduction to Ives’ body of work, and an early example of his iconoclastic musical voice and creative genius. Just a few years after composing this piece, Ives would leave home to study music at Yale. But until then he had been taught by his father, George (who had been a bandmaster in the Civil War). George subjected the young Ives to experiments such as singing a song in one key while being accompanied in another, or arranging for two marching bands to converge on a town center, with the resulting cacophony that ensued.The Variations exemplifies an early period of experimentation in Ives’ work, spurred on by the unusual pedagogy of his father. The piece is particularly notable for its use of bitonality in the two interludes, subtly foreshadowing more well-known examples by Stravinsky, Bartók, and others by approximately two decades.The bitonal interludes were so ahead of their time, in fact, they were omitted from the first copy that was submitted to a publisher in 1892. (Alas, the piece was rejected even despite these “shocking” elements having been left out, and it wasn’t published until more than five decades later.) There is some ambiguity about when exactly Ives added the interludes into his manuscript copy, though ample evidence suggests he had performed the piece with the interludes around the time he notated the piece in 1891-92. In any case, in light of this piece and his other polytonal explorations from the last decade of the 19th century, it seems fair to give Ives credit for being a pioneer in this area!This arrangement for Piano, Four Hands, closely follows Ives’ original version for organ, setting aside William Schuman’s popular adaptation for symphony orchestra and William Rhoads’ band transcription of the Schuman orchestration. Pianists will find that the piece translates well to the instrument. Ideally, the choreography and logistics of elbow-to-elbow four-hands playing approximates the wild joy one gets from watching an organist play the piece (e.g., the elaborate pedal part in the final variation).In preparing this publication, attention was paid to details in the dual Critical Editions (Presser 443-41003) of both Ives’ manuscript edition and the 1949 publication edited by organist E. Power Biggs (who is credited with discovering what had been a long-lost, forgotten work.) But as with much of Ives’ output, attempting to create a true ‘urtext’ score is a futile endeavor, and especially with a piece such as this one – in which Ives incorporated improvisation in live performance – seems unnecessary anyhow. True die-hards are of course encouraged to consult the critical editions and even find inspiration in the orchestrated version. Generally, performers are advised to be wild, have fun, and not to be too rigid in their interpretive choices.Dynamics in this arrangement mostly follow the organ score closely. Pianists will use good judgment about pedaling throughout, which should be straightforward and intuitive. Courtesy accidentals have been provided frequently – without parentheses – balancing the need for extra clarity in the context of Ives’ murky musical language, and a desire to avoid unnecessary clutter.A few notes that might inform interpretive decisions:mm. 15-16: There are inconsistencies here between Ives’ original manuscript and the 1949 Biggs edition, regarding the top voice in m. 15, beat 3 (C# vs. Cn) and m. 16 (D Major vs. D Minor).mm. 76-84 & 143-146: In both Interludes, Ives emphatically notates extreme dynamic contrast, in order to highlight the bitonality. Although it may seem counterintuitive (or even a misprint, as has apparently been misconstrued by some), performers are urged to follow the composer’s marking!m. 109: Two-note slurs have been added here for clarity and consistency with other similar passages, though they do not appear in either the original manuscript or Biggs.m. 112: The last two eighth notes of Primo appear as 16ths in the original manuscript.mm. 183-186: The original manuscript has a slightly different bass line.mm. 184 & 186: Primo gestures have been re-written to be slightly more idiomatic for Piano, Four Hands.m. 186: The breath mark at the end of this bar does not appear in either the manuscript or Biggs, but is an editorial suggestion – aside from being appropriately dramatic, it will indeed be necessary in a reverberant hall!I would like to thank Steven Vanhauwaert, the other half of my piano duo, 4handsLA, for his input on early drafts of this arrangement.— Danny Holt, April 2022.

Of this series of twenty-four études planned by Liszt only twelve were actually written, but the contemporary printed editions of the completed pieces (in the hope of a continuation) appeared with the series title '24 grandes études'. By publishing these 12 concert studies it makes the earlier and technically more difficult version of the Transcendental Studies available for the first time since 1911 for study by performers and those engaged in music research. Contrary to the 1911 edition among the volumes of the first complete Liszt edition, NLE will publish also the text variants of some studies, an album leaf in F sharp major in facsimile and in transcription considered asthe 13th study planned by Liszt for the series, and the earlier versions of so-called Mazeppa and Ab irato studies. In the volume will be published the puzzling album leaf, the so-called 'Prélude omnitonique' and some similar album leaves, too.

Von den 24 Etüden dieser Serie, die Liszt ursprünglich geplant hatte, wurden tatsächlich nur 12 fertig, die zeitgenössischen gedruckten Ausgaben erschienen in der Hoffnung auf eine Fortsetzung dennoch unter dem Serientitel ‚24 große Etüden'. Mit der Veröffentlichung dieser zwölf Konzertetüden wird die frühere und technisch schwierigere Version der Transzendenten Etüden seit 1911 erstmalig für die Interpreten und Forscher zugänglich. Im Gegensatz zur 1911 als Band der ersten Liszt-Gesamtausgabe erschienenen Ausgabe werden in der NLA auch die Textversionen mancher Etüden publiziert, ebenso wie das Fis-Dur Albumblatt (als Faksimile und moderne Transkription), welches auch alsSkizze der geplanten dreizehnten Etüde angesehen werden kann, außerdem die früheren Versionen der sog. Mazeppa- und Ab irato-Etüden. Auch das geheimnisvolle Albumblatt, das sog. ‚Prélude omnitonique' wurde, ebenso wie weitere ähnliche Albumblätter in diesen Band aufgenommen.

Des 24 études prévues initialement, seules 12 furent terminées, mais elles furent toutefois éditées sous le nom initial de 24 Grandes Études. Cette édition contient également des textes et de nombreuses autres pièces tels que des esquisses, des études de perfectionnement et des versions antérieures de la Mazeppa.

Jon Lord’s Sarabande was composed during 1975 and released as a solo album the following year. This new revised edition of the composer’s 2010 concert version represents the first appearance of the work in print in anyform. Lord intended it for his own use in live performance, as a companion to his celebrated Concerto for Group and Orchestra. It is a brilliant showpiece for the combined forces of rock band and orchestra, takinginspiration from the keyboard suites of J.S. Bach. This new full score is edited by Jon Lord’s long-time musical collaborator, the conductor Paul Mann, and makes use of many previously unavailable sources including themanuscriptscores of the original version and a copy of the score corrected in consultation with the composer following the 2010 premiere. It can therefore be said to represent as closely as possible Jon Lord’s final thoughts onthe work.

Jon Lords Sarabande werd gecomponeerd in 1975 en het jaar daarop uitgebracht als soloalbum. Deze nieuwe, herziene uitgave van de concertversie die de componist zelf in 2010 vervaardigde, is de eerste editie op papier dieooit van het werk is verschenen. Lord gebruikte de basisversie zelf bij live optredens, wanneer hij het werk uitvoerde naast zijn gevierde Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Het is een geweldig stuk voor een combinatie vanrockband en orkest, ge nspireerd op de klavecimbelsuites van Johann Sebastian Bach. Deze nieuwe partituur is bewerkt door dirigent Paul Mann, met wie de componist op muzikaal gebied al jaren samenwerkt. Er zijn veelvoorheenontoegankelij ke bronnen voor gebruikt, waaronder de handgeschreven partituren van de originele versie en een partituur die na de première in 2010 is verbeterd in overleg met de componist. Daarom kan worden gesteld datdeze bewerking de laatste gedachten van Jon Lord over dit werk zo nauwkeurig mogelijk weergeeft.

Partitur und Klavierauszug der Sarabande können käuflich erworben werden.

Jon Lords Sarabande entstand 1975 und wurde im darauffolgenden Jahr alsSoloalbum veröffentlicht. Die überarbeitete Ausgabe der Konzertversion des Komponisten aus dem Jahr 2010 erscheint hiermit zum ersten Mal in gedruckter Form. Lord hattediese Version für seine eigenen Live-Auftritte gedacht, alseine Art Ergänzung zu seinem berühmten Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Das Werk ist ein brillantes Paradebeispiel für die vereinte Kraft von Rockband und Orchester und wurde von denSuiten J. S. Bachs inspiriert. Dieseneue Ausgabe der Partitur wurde von Paul Mann, Jon Lords langjährigem musikalischem Freund, herausgegeben. Sie basiert auf zahlreichen bisher nicht zugänglichen Quellen wie dem Manuskript der Originalversion undeiner Kopie der inAbsprache mit dem Komponisten korrigierten Partitur nach der Aufführung im Jahr 2010. Es werden somit Jon Lords letzte Gedanken zu diesem Werk so genau wie möglich dargestellt.

Sarabande de Jon Lord fut composé en 1975 et sorti comme disque solo l’année d’après. Cette nouvelle édition révisée, basée sur la version de concert du compositeur de 2010, est la toute première version publiée de l’œuvre.Lord l’avait conçue pour accompagner son Concerto for Group and Orchestra lors d’interprétatio ns en direct. Un morceau virtuose qui combine les forces de groupe de rock et d’orchestre, inspiré par les suites pour clavier deJean-Sébastien Bach. Cette nouvelle édition complète est éditée par le chef d’orchestre Paul Mann, collaborateur musical de Jon Lord depuis longtemps. Elle se repose sur de nombreuses sources qui étaient indisponiblesauparavant,c omme le manuscrit de la version originale, ainsi qu’une copie de la partition corrigée en consultation avec le compositeur après la première de 2010. Par conséquent, cette édition est sans doute une représentationaussi précise que possible des dernières réflexions de Jon Lord sur cette œuvre.
