'Hammerklav
ier' is a full-length
cyclical work. The
composer tries casting
off the straight-jacket
of hide-bound musical
traditions, sending the
listener on a voyage of
discovery and liberation.
The 'Hammer' of the title
refers not to the
mechanical action of the
pianoforte nor to
Beethoven's
'Hammerklaviersonata' but
to the mental approach
required of the performer
who doesn't just simply
depress the keys of the
piano but needs to be a
true 'performance
artist'. The composer has
recorded the entire cycle
for WERGO (WER
6611-2).

This
series of easy piano
music for teaching
purposes presents pupils
in the lower and lower
middle grades with a
carefully chosen
selection of well-known
and lesserknown
compositions by important
masters. The volumes are
deliberately kept small
in extent, since it is
more stimulating for
children to change the
teaching material
frequently. In his last
years, Mozart composed a
large number of German
Dances for orchestra.
This music for daily use
of the time - intended
functionally, for dancing
and entertainment - is
distinguished by
enchanting ideas and
simple textures. The
editor has tried to cany
over the instrumental
subtleties into the
piano-duet writing. These
dances are particularly
suitable for introducing
some relaxation into the
learning of the piano,
for the interpretative
and technical workingout
demanded by Mozart's
original piano-duet works
is not required to the
same degree here. The
marks of expression have
been taken over from the
original score and in
part supplemented. Notes
not marked otherwise are
to be played non legato.
The technical difficulty
of these pieces
corresponds roughly to
the third and fourth year
of study. Heinz Walter,
Salzburg, Spring
1977.

The Full
Score for Peter Maxwell
Davies' fourth in a
series of ten string
quartets commissioned by
the Naxos Recording
company, first performed
by the Maggini Quartet on
20th August 2004 at the
Chapel of the Royal
Palace, Oslo, Norway, as
part of the Olso Chamber
Music Festival. Composer
Note: The fourth Naxos
quartet was written in
January and February of
2004, with the intention
of producing something
lighter and much less
fierce than its
predecessor, an
unpremeditated and
spontaneous reaction to
the illegal invasion of
Iraq. I returned to the
well-known Brueghel
picture of children's
games (1560, now in
Vienna), which had been
the inspiration for my
sixth Strathclyde
Concerto, for flute and
orchestra. These
illustrations liberated
my musical imagination,
but I feel it would limit
the listener's perception
to be too specific about
which game relates to
exactly which section of
the work. Suffice it to
say that there is
vigorous play -
leap-frog, bind the devil
with a cord, truss,
wrestling - alongside
quieter pastimes - masks,
guess whom I shall
choose, courting, odds
and evens. The single
movement juxtaposes these
activities as abruptly
and intimately as they
occur in Brueghel. Rather
as the eye is taken into
different perspectives
and proportions of scale
within the picture,
taking liberties which
would never be present
in, for instance,
Brunelleschi
architectural drawings,
so here, with a constant
sequence of
transformation processes,
I have distorted the
neat, precise
implications of modal
progression, expressed in
the unison opening phrase
(from F to B through A
sharp/B flat), so that
the ear is led, en route,
into the sound
equivalents of strange
passageways and closed
rooms: sicut exposition
ludus. As work on the
quartet progressed I
became aware that I was
reading into, and behind
the games, adult motives
and implications,
concerning aggression and
war, with their
consequences. It was
impossible to escape into
innocent childhood
fantasy. The nature of
the F to B progression
underlying the whole
construction derives from
a passage in the
development of the first
movement of Mahler's
Third Symphony, and the
opening of Schoenberg's
Second String Quartet.
However, unlike in these
models, here a real - if
temporary - sense of
resolution occurs at the
close of the quartet: as
when the curtain falls on
the reconciled Count and
Countess in 'Figaro' one
wonders how long the F/B
truce will hold, and
games break out again.
The quartet is dedicated
to Giuseppe Rebecchini,
Roman architect, and
friend since the
nineteen-fifties.
Bach's Wohltemperiertes
Klavier was Bartók's
first instructional
publication, divided into
four books. Bartók
became a professor of
piano at the Budapest
Music Academy in 1907,
and it was probably in
this capacity that he was
entrusted with preparing
a Hungarian edition of
the set of pieces. His
basic idea was that
students learning
independently without
adequate guidance should
receive sufficient
directions from the music
to perform the works. As
a consequence Bartók's
score is deliberately
over-detailed.For
pedagogical reasons the
composer ignored the
original order of pieces,
and compiled the material
according to grades of
difficulty, dividing it
into four books.
Thepresent edition
presents the Bartók
Wohltemperiertes Klavier
in two volumes, each
containing two books. One
interesting feature of
the Bartók edition is
that two of the fugues in
both book III and book IV
are written out in full
score, to accustom the
pupil to score-reading.
For some pieces he
deliberately refrained
from providing
performance indications,
to give pianists an
opportunity to exercise
their creativity.The
current edition is not a
reprint: errors we know
of have been corrected,
and the layout of the
score has been
re-arranged keeping in
mind the need to turn
pages. This edition which
includes Bartók's
detailed comments is
complemented by
facsimiles of Bach's
manuscript and an
afterword by László
Somfai.

Redolent of
the work of Dmitri
Shostakovich in its
musical language, Evgeny
Kissin's String Quartet
op. 3 comprises four
strongly contrasting
movements: on the heels
of the stately
“Adagio
liberamente†comes
an extremely lively
“Allegro
inquieto†that
wanders between dynamic
extremes and bristles
with glissandi. The third
movement, marked
“Largo
drammatico,†is
sustained by an
insistent, heavily
rhythmic dotted motive,
while the final movement
shifts from the
introduction, marked
“Pensierosamente,
ma mantenendo
strettamente il ritmo
puntato,†into a
brilliant finale,
“Molto allegro e
sarcastico,†that
is suffused with elements
of fugato and,like all
movements, informed by
dodecaphonic harmonies.
This demanding
fifteen-minute work was
composed in 2015-16 and
recorded for the first
time on Nimbus Records by
the Kopelman Quartet.

early-middle stages with
a careful selection from
well-known and less-known
compositions by important

volumes are deliberately
kept small in compass,

Amongst the numerous
piano works of the
composer, pianist and
music publisher Anton
Diabelli there are some
instructional works for
piano duet (four hands at
one piano) that have
retained their freshness
and value to this day as
the Melodie Studies, op.
149. These attractive
short pieces will still
appeal to today's
piano-playing young
people. In the original
version, the secondo part
is designed for the
teacher. In the present
edition, this part has
been rearranged in such a
manner that it, too, lies
within the capacities of
the student. Heinz

During the
period in which these
arrangements were
created, Hans Werner
Henze was far from being
a Wagnerite. Despite
this, he deliberately set
out to study Wagner's
music. Tristan und Isolde
was the opera Henze found
most accessible and it
was therefore the
Wesendonck-Lieder, dating
from 1858 with their
clear affinity to the
harmony of Tristan, which
became Henze's focal
point of interest.In his
arrangements he was
aiming 'to evoke the
pre-Tristan state. For
this reason, I have
selected a small ensemble
consisting of seven wind
instruments, two horns,
harp and small string
orchestra to retain the
preliminary study
character of these
Lieder. At the same time
however, I am attempting
to permit the
Tristanesque tone which
is already inherent in
the piano version to
unfold through harmonic
separation.'- Hans Werner
Henze.

Moving
Heaven and Earth consists
of a theme and 4
variations; although the
theme is original it
contains a phrase heavily
influenced by a 14-bar
passage from the Libera
Me in Faure's Requiem. It
is a sequence that the
composer finds
harmonically compelling
and, although it is never
quoted directly, it
appears in altered form
in the theme and each of
the variations. In the
original, the passage is
set to the words: Quando
c''li movendi sunt et
terra (When the heavens
and the earth shall be
moved) which gave
inspiration for the
title.

'The idea for this set of pieces initially came from writing one as a sixtie...(+)
'The idea for this
set of pieces initially
came from writing one as
a sixtieth birthday
present (I shall not
mention which one!).
Having written one
Baroque-titled piece, I
gradually added more,
until a whole suite of
Baroque dances was
completed.
The
stimulus of writing a
modern set of piano
pieces based on Baroque
models (in my case a
mixture of the English
and French Suites of
Bach) is nothing new of
course. Many
twentieth-century
composers were inspired
by the rigours of
devising new ways of
looking at Baroque
dances, and in the
process brought new life
to the forms (in the case
of Schoenberg's Piano
Suite of 1925, actually
liberating his new method
of 12- notecomposition
from theory into
practice).
For my
part, the challenge was
to write a set of pieces
for the piano which would
be technically suitable
for both young and mature
pianists, whilst still
responding to the
compositional demands of
creating interesting
material, mainly
organised through
contrapuntal means (often
just two-part
counterpoint, as in
Bourree 1 or the
Gigue),but sometimes
through harmonic means
(as in the Sarabande or
Gavotte).
In
addition, the more
personal nature of the
genesis of the album
resulted in each piece,
or dance, being dedicated
to a particular friend.
Whilst their pianistic
skills might vary quite
considerably, they all
share a great love of
music - something which
unites us
all.'

This
series of easy piano
music for teaching
purposes presents pupils
in the lower and lower
middle grades with a
carefully chosen
selection of well-known
and lesser-known
compositions by important
masters. The volumes are
deliberately kept small
in extent, since it is
more stimulating for
children to change the
teaching material
frequently. There are
four existing harpsichord
books with a total of 226
compositions by Francois
Couperin le Grand (1668
-1733). His works are as
unknown to pianists as
they are famous among
harpsichord players. The
grace and imaginativeness
of his works lend
themselves especially
well to the sound of the
harpsichord, which is why
the piano interpretation
of works by Couperin,
Rameau, Scarlatti and
other composers of that
time has been
categorically rejected.
But, after all, the works
of Bach and Handel were
written for the
haipsichord and
clavichord, and no one
would dare question their
intetpretation on the
pianoforte. In order to
introduce these
lmpressionists of the
Baroque Era to piano
instruction, the editor
has added to this series
a folio of both
Couperin's and Rameau's
(EB 8033) music. The
selection of the pieces
is based on two criteria:
1. relatively modest
demands made on
technique, 2. various
musical forms of
expression. The
Butterflies and the
Windmills are both
especially typical of
masterful character
pieces. The demands made
on technique certainly
correspond to a level of
moderate difficulty. The
simplifications made are
restricted to the
artistically realized
twopart accompaniment
(eg. p. 4 f. and p. 8 f.)
with regard to finger
stretch and to the
profuse ornamentation of
the original. The
indications for phrasing
and articulation are
those of the editor. The
first two pieces have
been precisely elaborated
on in this respect to
serve as a model, whereas
the remaining pieces
contain only suggestions.
As in other folios of
this series; what is here
to be stressed, is the
importance of working out
independently the
phrasing and the
dynamics. Directions for
this are given by the
respective footnotes;
these directions,
however, are not
obligatory. lndications
pertaining to dynamics
and tempo have been
omitted completely; the
clearly recognizable
character of the
individual pieces should
be direction enough. The
tonal possibilities of
the piano should in any
case be used subtly. The
very precise fingerings
have been adapted to the
suggested phrasings and
to the corresponding
realization of trills
(according to the table).

Aulos to a certain
degree continues
Orbán's easy piano
pieces for children,
which he composed for
Ãgnes Lakos's piano
tutor and which Editio
Musica Budapest published
in a separate volume
entitled Enchanted Forest
in 2011 (Z. 14742). Yet
on this occasion the
composer took on
something which was both
significantly different
and more than his earlier
pieces for children. On
the one hand, he did not
compose for beginners but
for more advanced
students who have studied
piano for at least three
years. On the other, he
did not set developing
the technique of piano
playing as an aim, rather
a systematic presentation
of different polyphonic
genres and compositional
procedures(imitation,
fugue, stretto,
inversion, augmentation
and diminution, double
counterpoint, latent
polyphony, double and
triple fugue, cantus
firmus technique, etc.).
Orbán introduces his
students to the mysteries
of polyphony in a direct
and practical manner, and
thus actually makes them
familiar with the art of
composition.The
educational use of the
series is significantly
increased by the fact
that before each piece
the composer presents and
clarifies with
demonstrative
illustrations the
polyphonic procedure he
introduces. Orbán's
explanations are not
text-book-like at all,
but are deliberately
personal and subjective,
full of lessons and
individual associations
taken from his practice
as a composer. They were
written in the same
spirit as the works
themselves - while they
perfectly fulfil their
educational purpose they
are equally individual,
witty and inspired pieces
of music that are a joy
to play.
