En samling pianoverker av norske samtidskomponister.
CD -en inneholder samtlige stykker innspilt av Tori Stodle.

FRA FORORDET:

Studier av eksisterende laereverk i klaver avdekker at samtidsmusikkenskar ikke er tilfredsstillende. Med unntak av noen meget fa hefter,ivaretar de fleste laereverk som finnes pa markedet i liten gradsamtidsmusikken. Det er langt mellom stykker som inneholder andrekvaliteter enn de den romantiske klavertradisjonen star for.

EPTA-Norge onsket a bidra til at klaverelever pa mellom-trinnetskulle fa noen helt nye stykker a spille! Norsk kulturrad bidro til avirkeliggjore ideen. 10 norske komponister takket ja til oppgaven, ogher er resultatet.

God spillelyst!

Med vennlig hilsen

K omponistene og deres uttalelse om stykkene i heftet:

RAG-SONATA - Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje
Dette lille stykket folger form som en sonate, med klare hoved- ogside-tema. Temaene horer sammen, og maten de er utledet pa folgerklassiske prinsipper som omvending og variasjon. Pa overflaten er deten tydelig inspirasjon fra ragtime-musikk, derfor ogsa tittelen Rag-sonata.

MOMENTS - Ketil Vea
Satsen er en slags assosiasjon til klaverets uttrykkstradisjoner - memories om instrumentets idiomatiske muligheter slik jeg har bruktdem, men uten a pedagogisere, bortsett fra at jeg bevisst har unngatttekniske vanskeligheter, likevel slik at satsen kunne gis en bredklanglig utpensling. Hele verket bygger pa motivene i de to forstetakter. Satsens emosjonelle foringer vil jeg ikke si noe naermere om,de er ikke avgjorende for interpretasjonen.

I NVENSJON OG KORAL - Eyvind Solas
Invensjon og Koral er karakterstykker. Bade fortid og natid ertilstede i denne musikken, men den handler mer om uttrykk enn om stilog teknikk. Hva slags uttrykk? Det er opp til den enkelte utover afinne ut av. For her ligger utfordringen!

ANDAN TE CANTABILE - Trygve Madsen
Dette stykket er bare en ovelse i finger-legato-spill, en sterkt forsomt og snart glemt ovelse

KONTINUUM - Bjorn Kruse
Kontinuum betyr en organisk sammenheng, eller en utvikling fra noetil noe annet hvor overgangen er gradvis glidende. I dette stykketville jeg prove en spilleteknikk som handler nettopp om dette, a bindetonene sammen enkeltvis i en slags flytende strom, stadig pa vei motnoe annet.

SPILL - Magne Hegdal
'Spill' er en kombinasjon av spontane ideer og streng struktur. Dettilfeldige kommer til uttrykk i musikkens stadige tilbakevending tiltidligere situasjoner (steder vi har vaert for). Det er som a leteetter vegen i en labyrint; eller som i et spill der terningen forlangerat en ma ga tilbake til et tidligere punkt i forlopet. Jeg synesmusikken har et litt uvirkelig preg - kanskje som et spill itussmorke... Spilleanvisningene i parentes er ment som forslag ellersom paminnelser.

4 MINIATYRER - Eivind Buene
Musikken i 4 Miniatyrer foreligger i to versjoner: Som her, ifire enkeltsatser, og som Studie no. 3, hvor materialet i de fireminiatyrene utfolder seg mer eller mindre simultant. I 4 Miniatyrer blir de musikalske problemstillingene utforsket med tydeligeavgrensninger. Miniatyr no. 1, 2 og 4 byr pa noen rytmiskeutfordringer, mens no. 3 har en enkel, gjennomsiktig struktur, ogdermed ogsa andre utfordringer for pianisten. I den forste satsenforflytter en akkord seg i paralleller i en ustabil og springenderytmikk, samtidig som den vokser fra to - til firklang. Enkelte lengretoner blir liggende i bakgrunnen som en kontrast. Andre sats spiller pakontrasten mellom en ensom melodi i ytterregisteret og brutale, korteanslag i midtregisteret. Her er ogsa store sprang et tema. Tredje satser en liten koral, hvor forholdet mellom melodi og harmoni folger helttradisjonelle monstre. I den fjerde satsen smyger en rytmisk ustabilmelodi seg rundt en jevn, hard puls med gjentatte toner.

DYRISK STYKKER - Wolfgang Plagge
I tillegg til a vaere musikalske og humoristiske utfordringer erstykkene rent pedagogisk sett ogsa tenkt a forberede elevene pasamspill- og kammermusikk-situasjoner. Elevene blir utfordret til aflytte sine egne grenser ved at de far oppgaver som krever andre formerfor informasjonsopptak. Elevenes fysiske sa vel som mentaleaksjonsradius utvides.

VENT! - Synne Skouen
Hva er dette lille stykket? En smakranglete dialog? Et forsok pa astanse noe eller noen i flukten? En beskrivelse av ulike temperamenter?- Eller kanskje bare en ovelse i a frasere, og lytte mellomnotelinjene?

INTERMEZZO - Terje Bjorklund
I Intermezzo forenes tre korte motiver av tre komponister fra1900-tallets klaver-litteratur (minst to av disse burde vaere velkjentefor pianister). jeg har lenge folt at disse tre motivene horer sammen, og med denne bestillingen fikk jeg anledning til a forene dem.Intermezzo (mellomspill) beskriver vandringen fra det ene motivet ogtil det neste. Musikken kan godt spilles som om den var improvisert.

With humour and seriousness, with vibrancy, much feeling and with the occasional wink of the eye, this volume of piano music opens up to us life in all its musical colour. The little pieces contrast the beauty of nature with the hustle and bustle of city life, they tell of adventures with pirates and wild horses, whisk us away to the sea and invite us to dance and to dream The 41 character pieces will go very nicely hand in hand with piano tutor books and will help pupils in the early years to appreciate the joys of playing the piano.

This Celtic-inspired original is an exceptional testament to music, a powerful tool for human expression. Compelling lyrics come from the unique perspective of song itself, 'I am the spark that glows in you . . . the voice that grows in you . . . the hope that springs in you . . . the truth that rings in you. A lilting 6/8 meter and sweeping choral lines garner an epic effect and create an impressive opener, closer, or concert theme.

Natha niel Dett was among America’s leading composers in the early 20th century, and MAGNOLIA SUITE is a beautiful example of his rich, hybrid style. Deeply inspired by the music and mission of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Dett’s piano music springs from the late Romantic traditions of florid texture and embellishment, along with programmatic titles and raw emotion. It is notable for melody writing inspired by and paraphrasing African-American song. The 18-minute MAGNOLIA SUITE contains five movements, any of which may also be performed separately. This edition by Lara Downes provides a clean, new engraving that corrects the many errors and unclear indications appearing in the historical printing.
Robert Nathaniel Dett was born in a place that was built on freedom. The little village of Drummondville, Ontario was founded by enslaved Africans – Dett’s ancestors among them – who traveled the Underground Railroad out of the American South into Canada. Their journey brought them to a safe haven, a place where fortunes and futures could be transformed in the span of one generation, to lives full of new possibilities. You could call it “the place where the rainbow ends,” which is the title of the last movement of Dett’s Magnolia Suite.When Dett wrote these pieces, he was a young teacher at Lane College in Tennessee, a historically Black college that had been founded in 1882, the year of his birth. A place built on freedom, with the purpose of educating newly-emancipated slaves – a place designed to nurture the blossoming of ideas, the vibrant flowering of minds set free. This music is inspired by the gorgeous splendor of the magnolia blooms on that college campus, and also by the shared histories, experiences, and aspirations of the community that Dett found there.These five pieces pay affectionate tribute to lineage and legacy. They express gratitude for the bittersweet beauties of the present; nostalgia for the past (a bit romanticized, as the past always is); and an effervescent optimism for the future that awaits us in the place where the rainbow ends.
