The cycle '?ivotem a snem? (Things Lived and Dreamt) by Josef Suk (1874-1935) is his magnum opus for the piano and has been called the 'diary of an artist?. Although Suk's musical language never exceeds the bounds of tonality, his wealth of resources, the flexible harmony, chords of stacked thirds and meticulous performance instructions were new to the Bohemia of his day.The autograph contains many cuts, overwritings and barely decipherable passages, yet it is carefully prepared and largely identical to the first edition of 1909. This first scholarly-critical edition takes all source variants into account for the first time.- Magnum opus of Suk's piano music- First ever scholarly-critical edition- Foreword (Cz/Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng)by the editor / Piano

Par SUK JOSEF. Ces trois volumes de Piano Works de Josef Suk contiennent l'essentiel de ce qu'il a écrit pour l'instrument, dont une grande partie précédemment indisponibles ou out of print et il est à espérer et croyaient que leur publication sera réveiller intérêt et jouir de la beauté onirique, expressivité profonde et sentiment religieux souvent qu'ils engendrent./ Répertoire / Piano

An Expedition into Czech Piano Music
A collection of pieces for early intermediate pianists
- Cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century
- Works selected and provided with fingering by piano virtuoso Ivo Kahánek
- Pieces of easy to moderate technical difficulty
The leading Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek has long devoted himself to training young musicians. With this album of recital pieces he offers young pianists quite easy pieces by well-known Czech composers.
The collection provides a cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century. It contains pieces from the Czech classical period (Benda and Dusík), 19th-century and ?fin-de-siècle? romanticism (Vorí?ek, Smetana, Dvorák, Fibich, Suk and Novák) as well as pieces of various styles from the latter half of the 20th century (Vre?tál, Kabelác, Eben, Slavický, Dlouhý and Sluka). Fingering has been supplied by the editor to support pianists in their playing. All the pieces appear in their original form; they have neither been arranged nor adapted.
