The
Prelude, Hymn And Toccata
1987 is dedicated to, and
was commissioned by the
Nettle-Markham Piano Duo.
It was the second work to
have been written for
them by the composer, the
first being the Sonata
For Piano Duet Op.92.
This twenty minute work
begins with Leighton's
typical preludial
double-dotted rhythms and
contrapuntal textures; it
develops into dark,
passionate music and
erupts into single and
double cadenzas. The
gentle Hymn is ushered in
quietly and unfolds in
long, rhapsodic sections,
building up to more
climactic cadenzas before
dissolving gradually to
an ethereal conclusion.
The Toccata finale shows
Leighton's masterly piano
writing and contrasts
biting, rhythmic motifs
with sweeping, yearning
elegiac phrases.

Volume VII/2 of
Weber's Complete Works
contains all of Carl
Maria von Weber's extant,
independent sets of
variations for solo
piano.Weber's piano
variations were
considered by
contemporary music
critics to be amongst the
most successful
compositions in this
field. A review of the
time states: His themes
are interesting and
idiosyncratically formed.
They stand before us with
a definite personality,
showing us in each
variation a new side to
their character, a new
characteristic situation
from their life. This
complete edition aims to
be a reliable basis of
scholarly debate as well
as for the authentic
performance practice of
Carl Maria von Weber's
music. Conforming to the
standards of recent
historico-critical
editions, the textual
material will be based on
all available authentic
sources, accompanied by a
detailed documentation of
the genesis and a list of
variants for each work.
The musicological
importance of the works
will be evaluated by
placing them in their
historical context, the
presentation of their
genesis, history and
Critical
Commentaries.
