La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.

Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables  Â» du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces Å“uvres.

Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.



Jean Sebastien Bach a écrit 15 Inventions à deux voix (BWV 772-786) et 15 Inventions à trois voix (BWV 787-801) qu'il a nommées Sinfonias. Il les publie en 1723 à Cöthen. Ce sont des ouvrages didactiques. Avec ces trente inventions Bach vise surtout à instruire et à mettre en place une méthode pour les enfants. Il exprime sa pensée en préface dans un des manuscrits autographes des Inventions : « Méthode sincère destinée aux amateurs, aux apprentis pour leur apprendre à jouer correctement à deux parties, à procéder ultérieurement juste et bien avec deux ou trois parties obligées, à avoir de bonnes inventions, acquérir une manière chantante de jouer, ainsi qu'un avant goût de la composition ».
Ainsi les morceaux sont groupés suivant l'ordre des demi-tons de la gamme et non pas selon la complication croissante des tonalités. Chaque invention a un seul motif thématique. Ce motif peut être agrandi en thème et par la suite, mené en contrepoint avec d'autres petits motifs et la recherche d'un équilibre rigoureux dans chaque invention est une grande difficulté qui peut dépasser la compréhension d'un pianiste novice. Bach intègre dans ces morceaux toute une panoplie de procédés techniques comme le canon, le contrepoint, la complexité de la composition nécessitant l'utilisation de la pédale harmonique et la façon d'ornementer un motif thématique.
On peut entrevoir dans ces Inventions une manière de synthétiser sa méthode de travail et une initiation à l'écriture musicale.
Constitué d'une mesure binaire à quatre temps, le thème initial de l'Invention n°1 est présenté d'abord à la main droite et se conclut par une réponse immédiate à la main gauche. Puis les deux mains contribuent à son enrichissement en se développant jusqu'à sa réexposition à la neuvième mesure où il se révèle à nouveau dans son inverse sur le ton de la dominante. Composé de vingt-deux mesures, ce thème et son inverse obnubilent toute cette première invention et expriment de manière chantante des pensées délicates.
La sensation fugitive du sentiment mélangée au contrepoint de Bach demande aux pianistes une dextérité pour la recherche de l'absolu.

Etablie sur une mesure ternaire à 3/8, la celulle thématique navigue dans cette invention n°4 tout autour de vagues ascendantes et descendantes. Sa réalisation au niveau de sa composition est assez complexe. Il y a une succession d'inversions de voix, suivies ou précédées d'épisodes canoniques et de marches harmoniques. Bach révèle son aisance dans l'art de la composition, ce qui oblige le pianiste à réfléchir sur son interprétation pour mettre en évidence les différentes harmonies qui sont, pour certaines, des éclairages fugitives d'une frémissante sensibilité.

Sur un rythme binaire à 3/4, Bach montre un côté joyeux et léger dans ce morceau. Un canon à l'octave est le point central de cette Invention n°8. Ce passage est entrecoupé de moments musicaux qui se présentent sous forme de courbes mélodiques à la tierce entre les deux mains ou de marches harmoniques descendantes.
Pas une note, ni phrase mélodique, ni procédé d'écriture qui ne soient indispensables dans cette miniature. Rien de superflu n'encombre les dessins mélodiques. Tout est épuré pour ainsi révéler des instants de climats agréables et fugitifs d'une grande sensibilité pour l'interprète.

Piano pieces for practising polyphony. Composed by Gyorgy Orban. Educational Tool. Book Only. Composed 2014. 80 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14888. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14888).

English-Hungarian.

Aulos to a certain degree continues Orbán's easy piano pieces for children, which he composed for Ágnes 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.

The composer wrote this basically pedagogical work intended for young pianists. Beginning with each of the seven pitches of the diatonic scale, with the individual pieces having feminine first names, he proposed the following:
- to assign a role of equal importance to each hand;
- to have the young pianists become accustomed to two voice counterpoint;
- to characterize each piece by systematic use of one of the 7 intervals;
- to train the ear to comprehend and accept certain dissonances created as the result of the counterpoint;
- to liberate the students from the strict tonal system and by virtue of chromaticism, creating a richer sound universe.
In order to allow a partial or complete performance of the work by pianists of all levels, the composer has avoided any written references as to specific tempi, expressions or phrasings.
The teacher will have to choose a tempo adapted to the technical resources of individual students.
For the expressions and phrasings, students can either chose to follow the dictates of their creative artistic imaginations or simply follow the dictates or suggestions of their teachers.

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

Composed by Richard Wagner. Solo instruments; Softcover. Edition Breitkopf. Sonata; Romantic. Score. Composed 1831. 24 pages. Breitkopf and Haertel #EB 8118. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-8118).

ISBN 9790004175019. 9 x 12 inches.

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is rightly considered as the 19th-century music dramatist whose formal and harmonic originality, for example in Tristan and Isolde, provided a significant impetus to the development of 20th-century music. Despite Wagner's fame, his reuvre for piano remains practically unknown. Tobe sure, these primarily early works and occasional compositions hardly even hint at the outstanding characteristics of the later works such as leit-motifs, flowing transitions or original forms. Nonetheless, whoever is acquainted with Wagner's later music dramas will undoubtedly not fail to be impressed by the individual melodic and harmonic traits of his piano works. The Sonata in B-flat Major Op. 1 is of special interest to us today since it is Wagner's first published work, composed in 1831 and printed in 1832 by Breitkopf & Hartel. At that time, Wagner was studying counterpoint with Theodor Weinlig, the choral master and music director of the Thomasschule in Leipzig. Weinlig, however, only agreed to give Wagner lessons if he promised to refrain from composing for half a year. In the course of his studies, Wagner was allowed to compose the piano sonata in B-flat Major as a kind of journeyman-work. His teacher Weinlig succeeded in having the work published by Breitkopf & Hartel. Hence the dedication of this piece to Weinlig is not surprising, since the 18-year-old Wagner would otherwise have had great difficulty finding a publisher. This Sonata in B-flat Major, which has long been out of print, is a reproduction of the first edition by Breitkopf & Hartel (plate number 10433). For this reprint, obvious typographical errors have been corrected (missing or wrong accidentals and dynamic indications). The work presents a four-movement classical sonata form and is stylistically reminiscent of Mozart and Beethoven. Shortly before composing this sonata, Wagner wrote a piano reduction of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which was easily playable and yet gratifying to hear. This helps explain the octave-doublings typical of piano reductions. Wiesbaden, Fall 1980

Respectfully dedicated to Theodor Weinlig, the choral master and music director of the Thomasschule in Leipzig.

The five Fantasy Pieces are manifestations of the piano in its sundry traditions. The Prelude is a response to the instrument's mechanical side and timbral possibilities; the Free Invention is a wild study in two-part counterpoint; the Intermezzo contains many dense harmonic textures; the Passacaglia is a demonstration of pianistic virtuosity, and the Postlude explores the instrument's resonance and acoustical properties.

1. Choral: An improbably superimposing of Beethoven and Brahms. At the end of the first performance of the latter's 1st Symphony, someone asked the composer: Don't you find that your main theme remin ds one of the Ode to Joy? To which he retorted: Even an idiot would have noticed it! 2. Fugue: in the last exposition, the subject of Fugue I from volume 1 of Bach's Well-Tempered Keyboard is super imposed on the theme from Mozart's so-called easy sonata. 3. Passion: In his Violin Concerto, Mendelssohn, to whom we owe the rediscovery of Bach's Passions, seems to have borrowed a theme from a lost Passion. 4. Recitativo: Tribute to Franck's tribute to Bach in his Sonata for violin and piano. 5. Invention: A private revenge, after a bitter failure. Debussy's Toccata was on the compulsory list for the Conservatory piano class entrance exam. 6. Arpeggione: In which the listener realizes the similarity in the introduction to Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Arpeggione Sonata. 7. Sarabande: The most iconoclastic, for Bach's 5th Cello Suite is already suffused with harmony. There might be an evocatioin of a Brahms-like overarching structure, though... 8. Variation: The slowest variation ever written on Paganini's 24th Caprice. 9. Scene: Schumann's Reverie as a Prelude. 10. Finale: In order to capture the elusive harmony of the Finale of Chopin's Sonate Funebre. 11. Fugue on Au clair de la lune: Our greatest nursery rhymes, fugue fitted and choralized. 12. Fugue de Noel (Christmas fugue): Quite appropriate. 13. Fugue on J'ai du bon tabac: Prohibited counterpoint. 14. Fugue on La Marseillaise: Franco-German reconciliation. 15.

As part of the Hannenheim Edition, pianist Moritz Ernst, following his CD recording on the eda records label (EDA 38), presents thisanthology of all known piano sonatas by Arnold Schoenberg's master-class pupil. Coming from different creative phases, they show thewhole variety of Hannenheim's original, often experimental style. The intellectually sound structure of his music is contrasted witha sombre, unsteadily fluctuating level of expression. The pianistic interpretation of the pieces, which are preferably in two movements, sometimes demands fine dynamic nuances, sometimes a great breath for exuberant counterpoint.

Composed by Paul Schoenfeld. Keyboards - Piano. Alry Publications #MIG18. Published by Alry Publications (AY.MIG18).

ISBN 9790302116707.

From program notes by Christina Dahl: Schoenfeld has described his Three Intermezzi (for Piano Solo) as one of a very few works he has written simply to please himself. In his words, 'Here is music my hands feel like touching with sounds my ears enjoy perceiving.' Its three movements were written at different times, but coalesced into a single work. The Three Intermezzi explore an interior world devoid of anything ostentatious. Schoenfeld's signature counterpoint--echoing both Bach and Brahms--is evident throughout. The music is intimate, serene and contemplative. 'It's the sort of music I improvise at night with the lights out and the house empty,' he says. The first Intermezzo quotes a bit of a Bach prelude, then develops it in waves and spirals that course up and down the keyboard. The second Intermezzo emerges from a single repeated note into an oscillating minor third and finally into a dark and soulful Sicilienne. The third Intermezzo, as long as the other two combined, explores the boundaries where decidedly crafted music and mediation combine..

“Comp osed by Reynaldo Hahn, Sonatina in C major (1907) is a piece for Piano for intermediate players. This really melodious piece is divided in three main movements. 1. Allegro Moderato in C The main theme starts the piece with an accent on the tonic arpeggio. Counterpoint principle is also used thanks to a canon in two measures. 2. Andantino Rubato in G Written in the form ABA, this movement is then continued by four variations of the theme. 3. Final in G The piece ends on a coda with harmonious arpeggios, played after a ternary dance. Reynaldo Hahn was a naturalised French composer, conductor, theatre director and singer. Best known as a composer of songs, he also wrote many pieces and melodies for different instruments.&rdquo.
