The three movements of Op. 81a are entitled 'The Departure,' 'The Absence,' and 'The Return,' dedicated to the Archduke Rudolf, an excellent pianist, friend, and patron of the composer. Rudolf's departure was part of an evacuation plan for Viennese aristocracy to escape the imminent occupation of Vienna by Napoleon's armies. An autograph of the first movement believed to have been presented to the Archduke Rudolf in 1809 is in the collection of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Dr. Stewart Gordon's editions of Beethoven's most popular piano sonatas provide the key to a stylistic performance. Thorough research of the earliest available sources has enabled Dr. Gordon to produce the most accurate reflection of the composer's intent. Each sonata contains helpful fingering suggestions and performance recommendations. / Piano

Par CORNICK MIKE. In classical jazz and popular styles! Along with the recently published 20 Piano Studies (UE 21233), this new set of études - this time for easy to intermediate level players, is a welcome departure from the usual study book. Key signatures in these easier pieces are restricted to major keys of up to 2 sharps or flats and their relative minor keys. Each piece primarily focuses on a particular technical or interpretive aspect of piano playing and encompasses various musical styles. Again, Mike Cornick's attractive pieces and carefully considered approach will both inspire as well as educate. / Études et exercices / Etude / Piano

for piano. Par DOBBINS BILL. 'These piano preludes have developed from my longtime love of the music from both the classical and jazz traditions. I have intentionally adopted a format which may or may not include improvisation. This format should serve as a friendly invitation to classically trained pianists. My own improvisations, which can be heard on the recording 'Preludes and Predilections, Vol. 1', may open up some avenues or points of departure. This same format should, on the other hand, serve to challenge the improvising pianist to make the written material sound fresh and spontaneous in each performance.' Bill Dobbins/ Répertoire / Piano

'The farewell / Vienna, May 4, 1809 / on the departure of his Imperial Highness the revered Archduke Rudolph? - Beethoven added this inscription to the manuscript of this sonata. It is today known by its French title 'les Adieux? and numbers amongst the composer's best-loved piano works. The first movement of the sonata was presumably written directly before the archduke hurriedly left Vienna. Rudolph and other members of the imperial family fled to Hungary to avoid having to endure the French troops' siege and conquest. On his return in January 1810, Beethoven was able to present him with the complete sonata, having written not only the 'farewell?, but also 'absence? and 'return?. / Piano

Edition : Jan Ekier Paweł KamińskiChopin composed his ''Mazurkas'' continuously from 1825 to 1849. The half-utilitarian genre was a point of departure, gradually becoming a form of meditative lyricism - the most personal statement of expression. Chopin's ''Mazurkas'' present a number of specific performance problems resulting from such causes as the diversity of individual mazurkas, their collection in opus groups by Chopin and his drawing inspiration from dance forms of Polish folk music. Volume No. 4 contains 43 mazurkas. Of the variants in musical notation, those designated ''ossia'' were marked in this way by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies, while those without this indication result from textual divergences in authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the text in an unambiguous way. - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 6 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 6 No. 2 - Mazurka in E major Op. 6 No. 3 - Mazurka in E flat minor Op. 6 No. 4 - Mazurka in C major Op. 6 No. 5 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 7 No. 1 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 7 No. 2 - Mazurka in F minor Op. 7 No. 3 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 7 No. 4 - Mazurka in B flat major Op. 17 No. 1 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 17 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 17 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No. 4 - Mazurka in G minor Op. 24 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 24 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 24 No. 3 - Mazurka in B flat minor Op. 24 No. 4 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 30 No. 1 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 30 No. 2 - Mazurka in D flat major Op. 30 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 30 No. 4 - Mazurka in G sharp minor Op. 33 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 33 No. 2 - Mazurka in D major Op. 33 No. 3 - Mazurka in B minor Op. 33 No. 4 - Mazurka in E minor Op. 41 No. 1 - Mazurka in B major Op. 41 No. 2 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 41 No. 3 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 41 No. 4 - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42A - Mazurka in A minor Dbop. 42B - Mazurka in G major Op. 50 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 50 No. 2 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 50 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 56 No. 1 - Mazurka in C major Op. 56 No. 2 - Mazurka in C minor Op. 56 No. 3 - Mazurka in A minor Op. 59 No. 1 - Mazurka in A flat major Op. 59 No. 2 - Mazurka in F sharp minor Op. 59 No. 3 - Mazurka in B major Op. 63 No. 1 - Mazurka in C sharp minor Op. 63 No. 3
