Edizione critica per Emy Bernecoli e Elia Andrea Corazza. Par RESPIGHI OTTORINO. The Sarabanda for violin and piano (P015a) is a short composition consisting of three pages dated 1897, published here for the first time. The original manuscript is part of the private archive of Potito Pedarra, cataloguer of Ottorino Respighi’s compositional legacy. Ottorino Respighi composed this work during his youth in the same year as the Sonata in D minor (1897, P015), Giga (P015b) and Allegretto vivace (P015c), all scored for violin and piano. In 1898, Respighi transposed the Sarabanda to F major in order to incorporate it into the Suite per pianoforte (P022, unedited). Traces of the Sarabanda’s theme are recognizable in the Grave (Tempo di Sarabanda) of the second part of the unedited ballet Le Astuzie di Colombina (Scherzo veneziano), composed in 1920 (P130, unedited). The autograph manuscript of the Sarabanda for violin and piano has a number of posthumous markings which have not been included in this edition. / Niveau : 3 / Classique / Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Gian Carlo Menotti (1911--2007) is best remembered as an opera composer and founder of three international performing arts festivals. Menotti has left behind a lasting legacy of lyrical and accessible music. Poemetti: 12 Pieces for Children was first published in 1937. These descriptive pieces demonstrate Menotti's celebrated lyric gift as well as the careful craft that characterizes his work. Taken as a whole, the set can be seen as Menotti's version of an 'Album for the Young,' recalling images of his colorful childhood in Italy. These brief compositions are varied in meter, tempo, character, texture, and technical demands and are suitable for developing the musical imagination and keyboard facility of pianists at the intermediate level. The collection is pianistic in style, with each piece serving as a miniature technical etude. The titles are evocative and aid the performer in conceptualizing a convincing interpretation. / Piano

Bärenreiter continues its Urtext edition of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with three major works at once.They begin with the frequently played op. 2 Sonatas (nos. 1-3) (BA 10859) which stem from his early yet mature oeuvre when he was developing an independent style from the legacy of Mozart and Haydn.They then proceed to the lyrical D major Sonata op. 28 from his middle period (nicknamed 'Pastorale? by the publisher of the original edition) (BA 11814) and finally to the Sonata op. 101, Beethoven's first sonata specifically intended for the 'hammerklavier? and the one that introduced his esoteric late style to the piano sonatas (BA 11811).The acclaimed Beethoven specialist Jonathan Del Mar has consulted every known source for these critical Urtext performing editions.

Her latest release, Blue Smoke, features new songs and new covers, some of which are included in this Dolly Parton sheet music collection, such as Blue Smoke, Banks Of The Ohio and You Can't Make Old Friends.Bolstered by a momentously fun performance at Glastonbury 2014, drawing the biggest crowd the festival has ever seen, the success of the album goes to show that even after 42 studio albums, she still has the knack for impeccable songwriting, performance perfection and a sense of humour that endears her to millions.

Par CASABLANCAS BENET. Epigramas Cervantinos was commissioned by pianist Marta Espinós and the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musica (CNDM) in Madrid. With an approximate duration of 12:30 minutes, the work responds to the author's admiration for the work of Miguel de Cervantes and to the artistic complicities established with Marta Espinós, to whom the work is dedicated. The pieces that make up this triptych are intended to evoke some of the expressive types and characters that we recognise in Cervantes' prodigious legacy - from Don Quixote to the delightful Exemplary Novels - covering a wide range of emotions that range from burlesque to pages of a melancholic and contemplative nature, passing through more impulsive passages and others of conspicuous rhythmic vivacity. The profound charge of humanity that these texts exude is translated into a highly contrasted and colourful piano treatment, at times brilliant and not without virtuosity. The premiere of the work, by the aforementioned performer, took place during the inaugural concert of the Commemorative Events of the 4th Centenary of the death of the illustrious writer, held on 22 April 2016 in the Reading Room of the National Library of Spain (Madrid). / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Piano

Par ZELENSKI WLADYSLAW. The Piano Sonata in G minor, op. 5, Wladyslaw Zelenski?s first important composition, was written in Kraków under the guidance of Franciszek Mirecki ? a conservative composer and teacher who was a pupil of Johann Nepomuk Hummel. It was probably Mirecki who brought about the publication of his 22-year-old pupil?s work by the esteemed Milan firm of Ricordi in 1859. That publication generated interest among Polish music critics, who discerned the young composer?s talent, the work?s ambitious conception and the European (German, to be precise) inspirations, distinguishing this composition among Polish music of that period. The Sonata is distinguished by its expressiveness and virtuosity, skilfully combining Beethovenian in¬spirations with references to the legacy of Chopin. It constitutes a key component of Polish pianism from the second half of the nineteenth century, worthy of the attention of musicians and music lovers alike. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Répertoire / Piano

It's clear, openhearted and inspiring, as has been every conversation I've had with Andy over the years. Long a fan of his playing, I have enjoyed this look behind the curtain at how Andy LaVerne formulated his signature style. One other thing -- any pianist, no matter his/her approach, will gain insight into what will surely be new and exciting musical directions. Pete Malinverni Jazz Pianist, Educator, Director of Jazz Studies, SUNY Purchase College Conservatory of Music What a great resource for expanding the harmonic palette! Chords in Motion is a must have for the aspiring young jazz pianist as well as the seasoned veteran. Another winner from Andy! Paul Schmeling Jazz Pianist, Educator, Chair Emeritus, Piano Department, Berklee College of Music In Chords in Motion, I recognize chords and sounds that have inspired me to compose and play: harmony from the music of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner. This book is well organized, and from the beginning gets you playing. Each chord structure is explained and developed. There is plenty to practice. I especially like the exercises using contrary motion, arpeggiation and pivot, and the application to tunes. The reader will be tempted to stop on every page and compose. I found the Lost Chord, but won't tell you the page number. Bert Ligon Jazz Pianist/Guitarist, Composer, Arranger, Educator, Director of Jazz Studies, University of South Carolina Ever wonder how to move harmony around instead of repeating the same chord voicing over and over' Then Chords in Motion is a must have book for you!

Phil DeGreg Jazz Pianist, Author, Educator, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music I am delighted to recommend Andy LaVerne's Chords In Motion to aspiring jazz pianists! Andy is a superb pianist, very capable of addressing this topic. Prior to pianists like McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, and others, most pianists were content to have acquired a small handful of chord voicings, generally with the chord roots on the bottom of the voicings. Though 'rootless voicings' were adopted in later years, they were primarily for the left hand and generally only used the 3rd or 7th on the bottom. But now the serious jazz pianist needs to be able to move his or her voicings in a more diatonic manner, as shown in Andy's book. Jerry Coker Jazz Saxophonist, Author, Educator Andy LaVerne's Chords in Motion is a study of encyclopedic scope on the use of harmonies based on fourth intervals in the context of jazz harmony. There is a wealth of information in terms of voicings, voice leading and chord/scale relationships and their application to common harmonic formulae (ii-V, etc.) and the chord progressions used in blues and common standard tunes. Jazz musicians interested in this vocabulary should find this book to be a useful launching pad for exploring this important corner of the world of jazz harmony. Bill Dobbins Jazz Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Author, Educator, Professor of Jazz Studies, Conductor, Coordinator Jazz Composition and Arranging, Eastman School of Music Chords in Motion is a highly detailed, informative and filling-in-the-gap text.

Stefan Karlsson Jazz Pianist, Educator, Professor/Jazz Studies Division, University of North Texas Fantastic pianist Andy LaVerne has put together an amazing, detailed, and incredibly comprehensive guide for effectively implementing quartal and related voicings. He has honed in on the 'secret' to using these structures musically and creatively: moving the voicings through changes in logical and interesting ways. Clearly presented, extremely thorough, and loaded with information, Chords in Motion is a must-have for any pianist! Martin Bejerano Jazz Pianist, Composer, Educator, Assistant Professor, Jazz Piano, Frost School of Music University of Miami Chords in Motion is an in-depth look at fourth and related voicings that give an atmosphere that you want to improvise on. We play over the voicing, not the chord symbol. Chords in Motion targets that modal atmosphere that horn players love playing over. Love this book - can't wait to start practicing it! Jerry Bergonzi Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator, New England Conservatory I was thrilled when Jazz Piano Great Mulgrew Miller agreed to write a quote for this book. I was deeply saddened to hear of Mulgrew's passing just days before publication. All who loved Mulgrew and his music will sorely miss him, and are grateful for the rich musical legacy he left us. Rest easy, Mulgrew. Andy LaVerne
