35 pieces on the quirky sideInstrument : pianoNombre de Pages : 56Fascinations is a volume of quirky juxtapositions and intriguing pieces of music. L?illet is cheek-by-jowl with Liszt, Schumann with Scarlatti and Sjögren. There are some fine newly-written miniatures, but also some extraordinary pieces by well-known composers, such as Mozart?s bizarre Funeral march of Signor Maestro Contrapunto or the unsophisticated music-making faithfully represented in Gounod?s Bagpipers and Tchaikovsky?s The peasant plays the mouth-organ. Dance movements by Telemann, Schubert, Rameau, Ji?ovec and Zilcher all have something unexpected or piquant about them, although they are technically straightforward and a joy to play.For intermediate-level pianists.Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey and Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey and Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.Content : Bartók: Melody with interruptions (from Mikrokosmos III) - Benda: Presto (from Sonata IX) - Prokofieff: Rain and the rainbow (from Musiques d'enfants op. 65 no. 8) - Heller: Vivace op. 47 no. 7 - Anonymus (early 17th century): Dance and Afterdance (from Klavierbuch der Jungfrau Regina Clara im Hoff) - Grieg: Siri Dale song op. 66 no. 4 - Binkerd: Country Dance - Liszt: Resignazione - Bartók: Scherzo (from Mikrokosmos III) - Telemann: Presto (from TWV 30:25) - Gurlitt: Impromptu op. 224 no. 5 - Mozart: Funeral March for Signor Maestro Contrapunto - Tchaikovsky: The peasant plays the mouth-organ (from Album pour enfants op. 39 no. 13) - Benjamin: Silent and soft and slow descends the snow -Davies: Piano piece no. 23 - D.

This is a new edition of Béla Bartók's popular Romanian Folk Dances in its original scoring for Solo Piano. With fascinating background notes and unique imagery, this publication is essential for pianists interested in the work of the Hungarian composer.When Bartók was just 23 years old, he visited the Transylvanian town of Gerlicepuszta. Overhearing a lullaby sung by a teenage servant girl named Lidi Dósa, he quizzed her about it and noted it down. This was the beginning of a passion for folk music that would go on to change the course of the composer's life and work.Romanian Folk Dances remains one of Bartók's most popular and enduring works, evoking the folk melodies combined with his own idiosyncratic harmonies and textures. Each of the six short pieces here is based on a traditional melody which Bartók penned during his travels. Including newly engraved masterpieces Stick Dance, Waistband Dance, In One Spot, Dance From Butschum, Romanian Polka and Fast Dance, this sheet music collection features editorial revisions guided by recordings of Bartók's own performance. The notation also includes fingering guidance throughout.Romanian Folk Dances also features a specially-written introduction as well as some fantastic photographs that both tell the story of the young composer and the intriguing backstory of this work. One of the most important 20th century composers and, along with Liszt, one of Hungary's finest musical minds, Bartók held a strong fascination for folk music. Through his studies, recordings and arrangements, he composed some incredible music like these Romanian Folk Dances, while simultaneously initiating the field of ethnomusicology. / Piano

This collection of 15 pieces, transcribed and edited by the Howells scholar Jonathan Clinch and published for the first time to coincide with Matthew Schellhorn?s recording of the complete piano music by Howells for Naxos, reveals a previously neglected aspect of this celebrated English composer.
The pieces chart the musical development of Howells, from his earliest known work The Arab?s Song, written when he was 16, to the Petrus Suite, completed in his 80s, as well as demonstrating his fascination with French music (Phantasy, Harlequin Dreaming) and the Tudor period (Pavane and Galliard).
The volume also includes the moving tribute to his friend and fellow composer Finzi: his rest. Comprising a wide array of pieces from characterful miniatures to more substantial suites, the collection will appeal to Howells devotees and lovers of 20th century English music, as well to as anyone seeking fresh and distinctive piano repertoire. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / NOVELLO

Par SZATHMARY ZSIGMOND. The powerful intensity of colour and expressiveness of the mosaic images in the apse and altar area of the late antique church of San Vitale (from the 6th century) in Ravenna made a lasting impression on Zsigmond Szathmáry. The fascination of how imposing images emerge from tiny, luminous mosaic cubes and vividly tell the biblical stories inspired the composer to write his piano piece: 'In my composition, I tried to follow this path: to organise the smallest coloured and angular glass cubes ? that is, the smallest coloured and angular musical miniature events ? in such a way that they constantly grow and finally culminate in a tangible musical statement.' Despite this seemingly archaic procedure, the composer wants his piece to be understood as a continuation of the virtuoso piano music tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. The 'Mosaikbilder ? (Mosaic Pictures) are dedicated to the great Hungarian pianist Zsoltán Kocsis, for whom they were written in 2012 / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Recueil / Piano

Par AASS LARS / HINSON MAURICE. The stylistic transition from the late Baroque to the Classical period was almost something of a Bach affair. While Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) defined and summed up the Baroque musical language, his sons Willhelm Friedemann, Carl Philipp Emanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian, infused with the spirit of innovation, struck new musical paths that opened the way to the Classical and Romantic eras. This piano book celebrates the work of these four sons of Bach with a fascinating and varied collection of pieces for the grade 2-5 player. **ABRSM selected piece (Piano 2019-2020): Allegro in A / Instrumental Music, Piano Music / Recueil / Piano
