English. Opening
with a sense of solemn
reverence and
anticipation, this highly
energetic work takes
place in France during
the Middle Ages. As a
knight sets up camp in
front of a bridge, the
battles begin when other
knights try to gain
passage. Driving rhythms
represent the energy of
battle while a wide array
of percussion mimics the
clash of distant swords
and battle cries.
Eventually, both themes
are juxtaposed before a
final victorious
statement emerges.
Intense!

Bartók's
Mikrokosmos has been one
of the milestones in
pedagogical piano
repertoire for 80 years -
and yet it is also far
more than a classical
piano primer. These 153
piano pieces, organized
in ascending order of
difficulty, engage not
only with technical
aspects of piano playing
but also with the
fundamentals of
composition - from
Imitation and Inversion,
Ostinato, and Free
Variations, concerning
compositional technique,
to mood pieces and pieces
with programmatic ideas
such as Notturno,
Boating, From the Diary
of a Fly, or the famous
Six Dances in Bulgarian
Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first
appeared in 1940 in six
volumes. Based on volume
40 of the Bartók
CompleteEdition published
in 2020(Z. 15040), the
present Urtext edition
offers the series
gathered in three
volumes. This edition
includes Bartók's
preface, exercises, and
notes written for the
first edition.
Furthermore, it also
features a preface and
comments by the editor,
which not only discuss
the genesis and the
compositional sources but
also provide performers,
teachers and pupils
alike, with authentic and
detailed information
about Bartók's
notation and the specific
performing problems of
Mikrokosmos. $28.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

WIND-DRUMMING
WIND-DRUMMING was written
in 1979 on a commission
from The Danish
Percussion Ensemble. The
piece is a clash of two
kinds of
sound-associations, the
mystic, exotic impact of
Latin-American drumming,
and the more well dressed
reputation of Western
concert-instruments, in
this case a wind-quintet
(w. electric flute). The
two instrumental camps
either melt into one soft
humming ritual or are
split wide apart, the
winds tearing their way
through the undergrowth
of rainforest-drumming.
There is more than one
way of getting on to
WIND-DRUMMING: obviously
it is about the
confrontation of two
incongruent ways of
living, a lament on the
damage done tothe
tropical rainforests of
the world by modern
civilisation. One can
hear it plainly as a
direct rhythm-show, a
downright number or a
joyous homage to the most
exiting kind of
folkloristic music at
all: the carnal spell of
the Brazilian Samba. Poul

which seemed pure and

quartets, the tenores
usually sing in groups of
four voices, but being
free from instruments
they stand very close
together enabling the
resonances of their
voices to blend and
interact in a special
way. The quartet, of
course, can only sit so
close before their bows
clash, so I have chosen
instead to reflect this
physical closeness
inversely, by getting the
players to stand
increasingly far from one
another as the piece
progresses. In so doing,
the initial state of

hocketing lines, opening
