Violin and piano

SKU: BO.B.3673

Composed by Jordi Cervello. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.B.3673).

It is a work for violin and piano inspired directly by Paganini's Capriccio No. 13, known as La risata del diavolo and one of the most renowned capriccios from the series of twenty-four composed by the celebrated Genovese violinist and composer. In my version for violin and piano, I have singled out the two essential features of the work: the third notes on a double string that emulate the devil's laughter, and the quick eighth notes that follow, all of it within a light and humorous chromaticism.

Il diavolo begins with a slow and fragmented but suggestive violin cadenza. It then follows the Allegro deciso, built on the two features mentioned above. In the central part, yet another violin cadenza of a similar character but which recalls the devil's laughter more evidently. The Allegro deciso goes on up to a carefree and virtuosic finale.

The work is dedicated to violinist Jesus Reina.

SKU: CF.YAS230

Composed by Carlos Lalonde. Set of Score and Parts. Duration 3:30. Carl Fischer Music #YAS230. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS230).

ISBN 9781491162781. UPC: 680160921539. Key: E minor.

The phoenix is a mythical symbol that dates back to ancient times, representing the idea of rebirth and being born again out of the ashes. This piece explores the idea of taking a rhythmic motive and developing it in such a way that it gains momentum, then dies away before rising to even greater heights. Set in E minor, this piece works in particular on the finger pattern for D-sharp accidentals in all parts. The fiery theme builds slowly using accented accompaniments and dramatic dynamics to build intensity. A brief lull reveals a lyrical melody, allowing players to perfect four-note slurs with optional shifting in first violin. Then the opening theme returns with even greater fire, growing to a glorious finale.

The optional piano accompaniment sets the pace with even 8th notes, helping young players subdivide their rhythms. Part independence and note range are minimized while doubling and repetition are emphasized, making this an easy piece for kids to master. Midnight Mischief by Doug Spata is a fun piece that kids will love to play while supporting essential ensemble playing and listening skills. (2:05) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Many special experiences are joyful or thrilling, such as flying for the first time, a big sports moment, or the excitement of a first concert. Whatever it might be, Cooper Ford's Exhilaration is a musical expression of the emotions that come from these memorable moments. Young musicians should find this both easily accessible and fun to play, as melodies are passed around to different sections while reinforcing foundational rhythms, notes within a D major scale, and playing with a big sound. Written with the young orchestra in mind, 2nd violin and viola parts are doubled, as well as cello and string bass. (1:40) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Piano, 4 Hands

SKU: BT.EMBZ13528

Für Klavier zu vier Händen. Composed by Franz Liszt. Christmas. Book Only. Composed 1989. 84 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ13528. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ13528).

Liszt finished the original work for piano two hands in 1876 which he arranged for piano duet some weeks later and dedicated to his grand-daughter Daniela von Bülow. The series belonging to the late piano works consists of three volumes. In the first transcriptions of early christmas carols can be found while the remaining two hold mostly genre pictures. Characteristic of the majority of the pieces is an intimate, lyrical mood and a sense of devotion that surrounds the feast. The prerequisites of rendering these items include a high degree of musical intelligence and refined taste. Virtuosic capabilities are mainly required by the last two movements of portrait character entitledUngarisch and Polisch. The harmonies and effects of the cycle point already beyond Romanticism and anticipate the music of the beginning of the 20th century.
