Grieg's incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's drama 'Peer Gynt? contains some of his best-known compositions, such as 'Morning Mood? and 'In the hall of the Mountain King?. Grieg later extracted the most beautiful pieces to form two orchestral suites and arranged himself these versions for piano solo and piano four-hands. There was a surprise in store for us when we were preparing our Urtext edition. In the autograph and the first print run, the second suite contained another movement, the 'Dance of the Mountain King's Daughter?, which Grieg deleted shortly afterwards. This charming dance appears in the appendix to our edition - printed again for the first time in 120 years! The Norwegian pianist and Grieg expert Einar Steen-Nøkleberg was co-editor for our edition and also provided the new fingerings. / Piano 4 Mains

It is with the 'Slavonic Dances' op. 46 that Antonín Dvorák won international recognition in 1878. Apart from Symphony No. 9, 'From the New World', and Cello Concerto op. 104, they are among the best-known works by Dvorák. Unlike Brahms in his 'Hungarian Dances', Dvorák did not use any original melodies but incorporated characteristic elements of Slavonic dance music within his own melodic invention.

orchestrated by Ferde Grofé edited by Ryan Raul Bañagale. Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. The names of George Gershwin (1898–1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896–1983) are synonymous across the globe with American musical creativity. The Gershwin family estates, their publishers, and the University of Michigan have joined forces to produce The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition—the first-ever scholarly edition of the Gershwins’ music and lyrics. This all-new practical edition facilitates both study and performance, giving a wide audience of musicians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike greater insight into the Gershwins’ art. The goal is to create clear and definitive publications that achieve the most accurate representations possible of the Gershwin brothers’ unique and pioneering creativity. This all-new critical edition of the original 1924 arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue presents an authoritative transcription of arranger Ferde Grofé’s handwritten holograph score preserved in the collection of the United States Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The edition represents as best as possible the piece as premiered by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra at his 'Experiment in Modern Music' concert on February 12, 1924. Grofé prepared the score for the specific talents and timbres of the Whiteman Orchestra, largely from an ink fair copy of Gershwin’s two-piano short-score manuscript. Gershwin continued to modify the piano solo portion of this short score during rehearsals and, most likely, even after the premiere of the piece. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains
