Parmi les professeurs de piano, sa musique est 'bon tuyau de' an: Né en Osiyek (maintenant la Croatie), le compositeur Marko Tajcevic (1900-1984) a écrit de nombreux morceaux pour piano facile pour des leçons de musique et, comme Bartók, se consacre à la musique folklorique de son pays d'origine qui était une source d'inspiration pour lui. Après des études à Prague et à Vienne, il a d'abord vécu à Zagreb du 1924-1940 où il a travaillé comme professeur de musique et une série de concerts organisée avec la musique folklorique de sa région natale. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il s'installe à Belgrade où il a été professeur de théorie musicale et de composition à l'Académie de musique locale. Le présent volume contient les cycles pour piano de nombreuses facile à jouer et instructive: pour les jeunes - Miniatures Six (sur des mélodies folkloriques slaves du Sud) - 2 petites suites - pour les enfants - Sonatina (1923) - Sonatine en fa (1947), et - que la première publication - Tabatière une Musque (une boîte à musique), une courte pièce dans le registre aigu notée en clé de sol qui n'est pas sans rappeler une boîte à musique. Enseignement de la littérature précieuse, facile, mais pas simple, tonalité intéressante en raison de l'utilisation des échelles modales, de la variété technique et formelle grande - une vraie découverte pour les leçons et la compétition 'Jugend musiziert'. / Piano / 52 pages / niveau : Facile / Intermédiaire / Partition

Par ZELENSKI WLADYSLAW. Wladyslaw Zelenski had the Six Character Pieces for piano, op. 17 ready around 1871, although it is quite possible that he composed them earlier, even in 1864. Such is indicated by the opus number. At that time he was giving opus numbers to works in chronological order of composition. This set is dedicated to Auguste Auspitz-Kolár, a pianist whom Zelenski could have met on one of his trips to Vienna. The composer published these works in 1872, with Gotthard of Vienna, in two books under the common title Sechs Charakterstücke. The present edition is based on Ludwig Doblinger?s Viennese edition (cat. no. 1221 comprises the Praeludium, Promenade and Tanz, cat. no. 1222 the Canon, Scherzo and Abschied). The compositions collected in Zelenski?s opus 17 have been unjustly forgotten. Their undeniable qualities include advanced harmonies and expressive melodic writing, as well as a wide range of textural means and composition techniques. Quite ?densely? written, these miniatures may prove challenging, but the right fingering eliminates many difficulties of performance. The second book of Wladyslaw Zelenski?s Six Character Pieces contains three miniatures: Canon, Scherzo and Farewell. They manifest characteristic features of the composer?s style, such as the use of counterpoint and a rich, organ-like texture. The Canon, with its emotional charge and build-up of tension, brings to mind miniatures from the brilliant piano cycles of Robert Schumann. A very simple phrase is imitated canonically between the top voice and the two bottom voices, passing through different keys. A touch of finesse is added by the triplet figuration in the middle plan. The next miniature is a classic Scherzo in ABA form. The outer sections, with an imitated theme, are in G minor. With its rather ominous, perhaps somewhat tragic, character, it contrasts with the middle section, Un poco più tranquillo, in the parallel key of G major, which clearly represents a more luminous, dance-like episode in this set of works. The title Farewell given to the last piece in opus 17 may stir associations with Ludwig van Beethoven?s only programme sonata, Les Adieux. This miniature is far more expansive and texturally richer than the other works in this set. The virtuosic elements are of the highest order, not overwhelming the composition, but emphasising its powerful emotional charge. Each of these miniatures can function as a separate work, but when played as two three-part cycles they fall into logical wholes, in which the climax is reached in the last, most elaborate piece. Yet a performance of all six works from both books, so the whole of Zelenski?s opus 17, allows us to discern an even larger cyclical form, developed in an equally deliberate way. - Anna Miernik/ Répertoire / Piano

Arnold Schönberg
Six petites pièces pour piano op. 19
Norbert Müllemann (Editeur)
Emanuel Ax (Doigtés)
À la question de savoir comment, sans contexte tonal, il était possible de structurer des flux musicaux, Schönberg et ses disciples répondirent par un resserrement extrême de la forme. Les Sechs kleine Klavierstücke opus 19 écrites par Schönberg en 1911 sont devenues légendaires de par leur concentration sur l?essentiel. Mais ces gestes fugaces dissimulent de véritables abîmes, comme en témoigne la dernière pièce, qui aurait été inspirée par les funérailles de Gustav Mahler le 21 mai 1911. Les doigtés soigneusement réalisés par Emanuel Ax invitent tous les pianistes à se confronter à nouveau à ces miniatures. La partition Urtext Henle présente ce «classique de la modernité» dans une nouvelle gravure, très généreusement mise en page. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / HENLE VERLAG

First Edition. Par ROSLAVETS NIKOLAI ANDREYEVICH. The piano pieces by Nikolay Andreyevitch Roslawez selected here and published for the first time complement the already published piano sonatas (ED 7941, ED 8391, ED 8392) and individual pieces (ED 7907). Created in the years 1919 and 1921, they represent the central phase of the composer's development and are characteristic of Roslawez' mature style. Although reminiscent of Skryabin in their musical language, the six miniatures 'Berceuse', 'Danse', 'Valse', '2 Préludes' and 'Poème' are technically easy to play and are suitable for piano lessons. Roslawez studied composition and violin in Moscow. He was one of the leading figures of the musical scene in the 1920s. Treated with increasing hostility for political reasons, up to being barred from pursuing his career, he spent the last years of his life in poverty./ Recueil / Piano

Piano Miniatures For Intermediate-Level Players And Beyond. Par CORNICK MIKE. Six new pieces from UE's resident master of Jazz Piano, Mike Cornick. In these original pieces for intermediate players, Mike looks at various aspects of jazz, exploring the rhythms, melodies and harmonies of the idiom. The highlight of the set is Mike's own homage to the great jazz saxophonist, Charlie Parker, based on a blues progression thought to have been created by Parker himself. In 'Six Jazz Piano Solos”, Mike's own compositions will complement the arrangements in his recent 'Style Collection” series, also for intermediate pianists and upwards./ Recueil / Piano

with Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59 'Für Elise'. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. This edition brings together all of Beethoven's pieces that he himself associated with the term 'bagatelle', a trifle. The Bagatelles reflect Beethoven's diverse compositional cosmos in miniature and span almost his entire oeuvre from 1801/02 to 1824/25. In terms of playing technique, they range from moderate dexterity to demanding virtuosity. In addition to the well-known collections opp. 33, 119 and 126, ten more pieces were found after Beethoven's death in an envelope labelled ?Bagatelles?. These included the revised version of ?Für Elise? as well as two further revisions of bagatelles which appear here in print for the first time. Beethoven conceived the cycle, still known today as 'op. 119' ? although this opus number did not stem from him ? as two separate projects with five and six pieces respectively. Our edition presents these two collections separately for the first time, as Beethoven proposed. Variants, additions and revisions in the first print that go beyond the main manuscript source and were most likely intended by Beethoven are presented in grey print. A variety of new insights, an informative Foreword and insightful notes on Viennese piano playing in Beethoven's time (German/English) as well as a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) offer the performer an abundance of information and a new perspective on Beethoven's bagatelle oeuvre. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Recueil / Piano

Album For The Young features 64 classic Piano pieces inspired by the spirit of childhood. From Johannes Brahms' unashamedly lyrical Wiegenlied through the more cerebral approach of Schumann's album Für die Jugend and the works of contemporary composers such as Lutoslawksi and Richard Rodney Bennett, the music contained in this collection offers many contrasting approaches to the idea of music for the young. Great composers down the ages have been consistently attracted to writing albums about or for the young. Some pieces are suitable for children to play and some are drawn from the nostalgic memory of childhood innocence. Here is a unique collection to treasure, reflecting the variety of both their emotional approaches and the richness of their creative responses. / Piano
