Hasselmans's methods by
R. Martenot, it features
the studies 1 to 25 for
intermediate harp players
and above. This volume is
followed by a second book
including the studies 26
to 50. Nicolas-Charles
Bochsa (1789-1856) was a
musician and composer
able to play the flute,
the piano and the harp.
He became the harpist of

Rediscoveri
ng, studying and
analyzing the musical art
of Philipp Joseph Hinner
means enhancing a piece
of the eighteenth-century
harp music mosaic.
Hinner's work intrigues
for its extraordinary
simplicity, for its
regularity and harmony;
the ordered balance of
the parts, symmetry and
sense of proportion are
essential elements for
the author, and give
character and unity to
his work. The harp
repertoire has long been
overshadowed by the
keyboard one, which
boasts extensive solo and
chamber literature, and
consolidated for over two
centuries. The
rediscovery of the
history of our
instrument, however, is
still recent and the
research work in the
field of harp music is
still long. Hinner,
with the apparent
simplicity of his opus
10, can thus regain his
role in the harp
repertoire of the
eighteenth century, as
well as covering a
considerable didactic
value today. The part of
the first harp
undoubtedly presents
characteristics of
greater rhythmic and
virtuosic complexity than
that of the second, which
consists of a continuous
accompaniment
interspersed with simple
thematic imitated
episodes. Furthermore in
the composition are
included arias such as
O ma tendre
Musette, a French
popular melody of the
18th century (previously
set to music by
Pierre-Alexandre
Monsigny), and <>, taken from
the opera-comique
L'erreur d'un moment
ou la Suite de Julie
by Nicolas Dezede, as
well as themes from
Gluck's Iphigenie en
Aulide, which had
been all used also by
Hinner's first harp
master, Francesco Petrini
(1744-1819). Hinner's
opus 10, originally
written in separate parts
for two harps, or harp
and fortepiano, is
presented here updated
and completed with its
score, for a thorough
perception of the
work.

I
have always been fond of
writing works for
specific people or
organizations. It has
been my good fortune
during most of my
creative career to be
asked to compose for many
extraordinary performers.
The Sonata for
Harpsichord Solo is such
a case in point: it was
written in 1982 for
Barbara Harbach, a superb
performer, close friend,
and collaborator on many
musical projects. The
Sonata was premiered on
March 2, 1984, in a
recital given by Dr.
Harbach at Nazareth
College in Rochester, New
York. During my formative
years as a composer, one
seldom heard of the
harpsichord as a modern
instrument, though while
I attended undergraduate
school at Boston
University, some of us
banded together to
construct a small
harpsichord from one of
the first do-it-yourself
kits which began to
appear in the late '40s.
It was also during this
time that I heard the
Sonatina for Violin and
Harpsichord by my teacher
Walter Piston and
consequently specified
that the accompanying
instrument for my second
violin sonata could
either be a piano or a
harpsichord. It was not
until recently, however,
that my interest in the
harpsichord as a solo
instrument for new music
was aroused. This was
because of the emergence
of so many young
virtuosi, such as Barbara
Harbach, who are
interested in the
performance of new music
besides the great
harpsichord music of the
Classical, Baroque, and
pre-Baroque eras. The
keyboard music of
Domenico Scarlatti has
always intrigued and
fascinated me. The
brevity, excitement, and
clarity of this sparkling
music is charming as well
as exhilarating. It is
this type of Baroque
sonata that inspired the
conception and form of my
harpsichord sonata. The
entire work is loosely
based on the musical
translation of Barabara
Harbach's name,
especially the conflict
of the B (B-flat) and H
(B-natural in German
notation). This secondo
rub or dissonance
especially pervades the
first movement, which is
in a modified sonata
form, pitting jagged and
tense melodic elements
against most lyrical and
smooth lines. This second
movement is a song-like
melody accompanied by
rolled chords which may
be played on the lute
stop of the instrument if
this sonata is performed
on a two-manual
harpsichord. The final
movement is an
ever-driving joyous
toccata which brings the
work to an exciting close
with a coda made up of
accelerating repeated
chords. --Samuel
Adler.

Whizzing,
growling and rattling
– you can produce
all kinds of sounds with
the harp, not just the
fairy-tale shimmer and
glissandos that you first
think of. Lotta
Wennäkoski composed
Sigla for harp and
orchestra (2021-2022) in
close collaboration with
the harpist Sivan Magen,
to whom the concerto is
dedicated. The title of
the concerto, Sigla, has
different meanings in
different languages. In
Italian, it means a
jingle; in Icelandic, it
means sailing; and in
Tagalog, spoken in the
Philippines, it means
vivaciousness or
enthusiasm. Wennäkoski
has not specifically
referenced these in the
movements of the concerto
as such, but she does
allow that the various
meanings of the word may
be identified with the
music according to the
listener’s
perception.
The
recording of the work
(Ondine ODE1420-2) was
premiered with the
Gramophone award as the
the best release in the

Martin-Pier
re Dalvimare, born in
1770, in Dreux
(Eure-et-Loir), from a
distinguished family,
learnt music as an
entertainment art, and
was obliged to make it a
resource for his
existence, after the
troubles of the
Revolution in 1789. He
had acquired a remarkable
talent for the harp; when
he arrived in Paris he
made a very good
impression. Then, man of
the world, knowledgeable
in many fields, which is
rare for a musician, he
was welcome everywhere,
and very soon came in
friendly terms with some
of the most renowned
artists and men of
letters of his times. The
marriage certificate of
the poet Legouve (15
pluviose of the year XI,
or February 1803, 12th
municipality of Paris),
shows that Dalvimare was
one of his best men and
that at the time he was
thirty-two years old. He
became harpist of the
Opera in the year VIII
(1800), and was
definitively confirmed in
the month of fructidor of
the year IX. At the time
of the institution of the
emperor Napoleon's
private music, M.
Dalvimare was appointed
as his harpist. In
September 1807 he
obtained the title of
harp master of the
empress Josephine. A
lucky change of his
fortune allowed this
artist to renounce to
practise his talent for
living, he resigned from
all of his positions on
March, 12th, 1812, and he
retired in Dreux, where
he still was living in
1837. For a peculiar
weakness, he does not
like to speak about his
artist career, which had
been entirely honourable,
and he would like to
forget his success too.
His first composition was
a symphonie concertant
for harp and horn, which
he composed with Frederic
Duvernoy, and published
in the year VII (1798);
notwithstanding, he
counted as his first opus
a collection of romances
with accompaniment of
piano or harp, which he
later published with
Pleyel.
In 1809
Dalvimare composed, for
the theatre Feydeau, a
one-act opera-comique
called The Marriage for
Imprudence. The music was
weak; the work did not
succeed, and people used
to say that the greatest
imprudence had been the
one of the authors who
had it performed.
Nevertheless, the score
of this opera was
published in Paris by
erard. (Francois-Joseph
Fetis).

John
Stanleyâ??s 30
Voluntaries (translatable
as preludes), published
in three collections as
opp. 5, 6 and 7, are
among the best known
organ works of the 18th
century. These free-style
compositions were
received with great
appreciation by his
contemporaries; the first
volume, published in
1748, immediately
achieved canonical status
and encouraged other
composers to write
similar collections. The
pieces, of easy to medium
difficulty, are for
manuals (alternatively,
they can also be played
on the harpsichord) and
comprise two movements,
slow and fast, many of
which are characterized
by a certain rhythmic
energy and richness of
color, expressed through
the use of solo registers
such as cornet and
trumpet, with multiple
echo effects, here
adapted and transformed
into piano, forte, and
playing near the sound
board effect, limiting,
or rather modifying,
their results.

Mauri
ce Ravel's Mother Goose
is arguably one of the
most well-known and
well-loved of Ravel's
works. Whether one
encounters it first in
its original iteration
for piano, four hands, or
in the sweeping orchestra
transcription, Mother
Goose leaves an
impression that isn't
soon forgotten. The
pieces are short, simple,
and descriptive, but are
nonetheless ravishing,
and beautifully showcase
Ravel’s genius and
compositional skills. Now
for the first time, the
entire work has been
transcribed for solo harp
by harpist Carl Swanson.
Each of the original five
movements has been
carefully edited, making
the pieces playable on
solo harp, while keeping
the spirit that Ravel
intended. Here is a
valuable addition to the
harp repertoire by one of
the greatest composers of
the twentieth century,
Maurice Ravel.

Composed by
the famous harpist
Henriette Renié,
Pine trees of
Charlannes is an easy
small piece for lever
harp with piano or harp
accompaniment. This piece
for beginners is really
nice to play and to start
playing ensemble music.
The principal harp
sections feature some
really melodious sections
and some sections with
quavers going up. It
alternates these sections
with the accompaniment
played by the piano or a
second harp. Henriette
Renié was a
virtuoso French harpist
born in 1875. With
professors such as
Alphonse Hasselmans and
Théodore Dubois,
she received the First
Prize for the Harp in
1887. She wrote numerous
works for harp including
chamber music, and a
concerto.

„¢s compositions for harp
are rich and varied, and
range from the easy
pieces dedicated to his
students to the virtuoso
concert pieces; we must
also remember his
didactic works, in
particular the ‘Six
Small Studies’ and
the universally known
‘Eight Great
Concert
Studies’. It is
not easy to draw a
balance of his legacy in
the harp world. On one
hand his technical vision
of virtuosity combined
with a great stability of
the hand and rigor of the
fingerings certainly
contributed to the
development of the 20th
Century harp technique;
on the other hand, his
use of the pedals, often
driven by two together
with the same foot (a
very old French
technique), has gradually
become more and more
difficult on modern
harps. From the point of
view of his contribution
to the harp repertoire,
the constant run-up to
the piano has heavily
influenced his
compositional production,
making him often
completely miss the
idiomatic effects of 19th
Century harp music
(except for the use of
harmonic sounds), which
were so loved by his
friend Liszt in the
compositions of Parish
Alvars.
