25 Piano pieces. Par HELLER BARBARA. Each piece of 'Klangblumen' has its own special focus, such as a certain interval, a specific playing technique, a uniform rhythm, or a general tone colour. The instructions on playing technique and aesthetics at the beginning of the movement provide information on the interpretation of the individual pieces. Despite much interpretive and dynamic information of the composer and the editor, the pieces still provide enough possibilities to freely handle the musical text to one's personal musical mind. You are even free to experiment! A collection for lessons and concerts./ Répertoire / Piano

Collection 'Carnets du 21e siècle'.6 pièces pour piano solo.- Récit- Mécanisme à 'cinq-huit'- Harmoni(qu)es sympathi(qu)es- Valse esqui(s)se- D'une gondole oubliée - (Des)accords1 à 4 mn par pièce.Ce recueil, extrêmement varié, permet au pianiste d'aborder un langage contemporain original...Ce recueil, extrêmement varié, permet au pianiste d'aborder un langage contemporain original.Les différentes pièces de Piano Traces font appel à l'essentiel des acquis pianistiques du 2o cycle : notes répétées, études de sonorités, travail rythmique, contrastes dynamiques, exploration de toute l'étendue du clavier (Valse esqui(s)e intègre même un instrument de percussion joué par le pianiste lui-même).Les différentes pièces peuvent être jouées indépendamment les unes des autres ou faire l'objet d'une seule et même oeuvre.Et au-delà des aspects purement techniques, c'est bien de musique qu'il s'agit ! Une musique pour l'oreille, exigeante sans être rébarbative, originale sans être déconcertante.' La vision première de l'oeuvre est sonore, fugace, violente et définitive. Et puis... et puis vient le temps de l'écriture...une errance chargée d'encre et de papier, tentative d'écrire dans sa propre langue ce qu'on ne sait pas encore écrire 'Né en 1960 à Perpignan, Bruno Giner commence ses études musicales à Toulouse, puis dans sa ville natale et à Barcelone. A Paris, il suit régulièrement les cours de Pierre Boulez au Collège de France et travaille la composition (électroacoustique et instrumentale) successivement avec Luis de Pablo, Ivo Malec et Brian Ferneyhough.Aujourd'hui, ses oeuvres sont jouées dans de nombreux festivals français et internationaux, et sont interprétées par différents ensembles de musique contemporaine (Aleph, Sic, Fa, L'instant donné, Grame, Nomos, Motus, Intercontemporain, Quatuor Arditti, Klangheimlich, Frullato, Xasax, Ars Nova Nürnberg, Ixtla, Slowind). ' Ce n'est pas la moindre qualité de la musique de Bruno Giner que de nous permettre de mesurer l'étendue de nos préjugés (enfin, je parle pour moi), a écrit Bertrand Dubedout. Restons à l'écoute. Ce compositeur, dont la réflexion et la démarche se nourrissent aussi bien de Boulez ou Ferneyhough, que de Schaeffer ou de Malec, et qu'une insatiable curiosité conduit aussi bien chez Schumann ou Machaut que chez les Pygmées, nous réserve encore bien des surprises, nous mijote bien des émerveillements 'Son catalogue comporte des pièces pour solistes, des partitions de musique de chambre, de la musique vocale, orchestrale, des oeuvres pour l'apprentissage, etc. Sa musique révèle un caractère charnel, parfois virtuose, une énergie canalisée par la formalisation d'une écriture rigoureuse qui n'empêche pas un travail plus empirique sur la morphologie et la matière sonore.En 1998, Bruno Giner reçoit le Prix Hervé Dugardin décerné par la SACEM pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre.Parmi ses dernières compositions, citons Paraphrase sur ' Guernica ' de Paul Dessau pour clarinette, violoncelle, piano et percussions (2003), TCP 17 pour harpe, guitare et mandoline (2005), Clameurs, concertino pour deux percussions et ensemble à vents (2006), Charlie opéra de chambre d'après Matin brun de Franck Pavloff (2007), Extra pour huit violoncelles (2007-2008), Quatuor #3 pour quatuor à cordes et percussion (2008). Parallèlement à ses activités compositionnelles, Bruno Giner a régulièrement collaboré à différentes revues musicales, encyclopédies ou labels discographiques (The New Grove, La Lettre du Musicien, Les cahiers du CIREM, Musica falsa, Motus, etc). Par ailleurs, il signe trois livres : Musique contemporaine : le second vingtième siècle (Editions Durand, 2000), Toute la musique ' (Editions Autrement Junior, 2003), De Weimar à Térézine 1933-1945 : l'épuration musicale (Editions Van de Velde, 2006). / Clavier, Piano Et Solo

The Syncopated Piano Music. Par MATTHIESEN BILL. Cette collection met en valeur la musique pour piano syncopée de l'Amérique latine au cours des XIXe et XXe siècles. Il comporte des rythmes latins, qui sont des rythmes africains vraiment apporté aux Amériques par les esclaves et appliqués à la musique des colons européens. Ces rythmes sont variées et complexes et tellement est leur histoire. Ils ont eu une influence largement répandue et profonde sur l'évolution de la musique populaire, non seulement en Amérique latine, mais également aux Etats-Unis.

Firmly rooted in contemporary jazz theory, the emphasis is on practical performance applications. Andy ties it all together with illustrations of comping choruses for five standard jazz tunes.

John Patitucci Berklee College of Music One thing about Andy'he is complete as can be and has been consistently so for years in both his teaching materials and playing. He is completely knowledgeable in such a way that when I play with him, I know he KNOWS!! Plus he is one of the smoothest and polished of players around. Great book'encyclopedic in content. Dave Liebman Founder, Artistic Director, International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ) I've played and recorded with Andy LaVerne many times over the years and in many different settings and he's always come up with the hippest, most interesting chords in the most musical way! His way of playing and looking at chords inspires me as a drummer and his rhythm section partner to play things that are in turn inspiring to the rest of the band. This book, helps musicians, understand, in a clear thoughtful presentation, how to go about getting this together. Billy Drummond Jazz Drummer, Educator, Juilliard, NYU Chords in Motion is an outstanding and comprehensive guide by Andy LaVerne, whose encyclopedic knowledge, decades of experience and brilliance as a performer and educator make this an invaluable handbook of modern jazz piano harmony. Its user-friendly, intelligent design enables musicians to expand their harmonic palette and potentially transform their playing, writing and arranging. Chords in Motion is an invaluable contribution to jazz musicians! Lynne Arriale Jazz Pianist, Composer, Educator, Associate Professor of Jazz Piano, Director of Small Ensembles, University of North Florida Chords in Motion is exactly the book I'd expect from Andy LaVerne. It's clear, openhearted and inspiring, as has been every conversation I've had with Andy over the years. Long a fan of his playing, I have enjoyed this look behind the curtain at how Andy LaVerne formulated his signature style. One other thing -- any pianist, no matter his/her approach, will gain insight into what will surely be new and exciting musical directions. Pete Malinverni Jazz Pianist, Educator, Director of Jazz Studies, SUNY Purchase College Conservatory of Music What a great resource for expanding the harmonic palette! Chords in Motion is a must have for the aspiring young jazz pianist as well as the seasoned veteran. Another winner from Andy! Paul Schmeling Jazz Pianist, Educator, Chair Emeritus, Piano Department, Berklee College of Music In Chords in Motion, I recognize chords and sounds that have inspired me to compose and play: harmony from the music of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and McCoy Tyner. This book is well organized, and from the beginning gets you playing. Each chord structure is explained and developed. There is plenty to practice. I especially like the exercises using contrary motion, arpeggiation and pivot, and the application to tunes. The reader will be tempted to stop on every page and compose. I found the Lost Chord, but won't tell you the page number. Bert Ligon Jazz Pianist/Guitarist, Composer, Arranger, Educator, Director of Jazz Studies, University of South Carolina Ever wonder how to move harmony around instead of repeating the same chord voicing over and over' Then Chords in Motion is a must have book for you! Andy has included a ton of information that will open up your comping and should keep you busy with new ideas for a long time! I highly recommend it! Dan Haerle Jazz Pianist, Composer, Author, Educator, Professor Emeritus, University of North Texas Chords in Motion is an essential guide to expanding one's conception of modern Jazz Piano Harmony. Andy LaVerne has managed to outline in a very practical and concise way, modern principles of piano chord voicings, as they pertain to the Jazz Pianist's primary group function of comping. David Hazeltine Jazz Pianist, Composer, Educator, SUNY Purchase College Conservatory of Music Chords in Motion should be fun to take into the practice room to explore new ways of sustaining harmonies over the entire register of the piano.

Stephany Tiernan Pianist, Composer, Educator, Chair, Piano Department, Berklee College Of Music Chords In Motion is an excellent practicing resource that provides a garden of harmonic sonorities for a musician to choose and explore at the piano. I like the way that Andy has made the information accessible to any level of student. I look forward to discovering some different sounds with this book. Phil DeGreg Jazz Pianist, Author, Educator, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music I am delighted to recommend Andy LaVerne's Chords In Motion to aspiring jazz pianists! Andy is a superb pianist, very capable of addressing this topic. Prior to pianists like McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, and others, most pianists were content to have acquired a small handful of chord voicings, generally with the chord roots on the bottom of the voicings. Though 'rootless voicings' were adopted in later years, they were primarily for the left hand and generally only used the 3rd or 7th on the bottom. But now the serious jazz pianist needs to be able to move his or her voicings in a more diatonic manner, as shown in Andy's book. Jerry Coker Jazz Saxophonist, Author, Educator Andy LaVerne's Chords in Motion is a study of encyclopedic scope on the use of harmonies based on fourth intervals in the context of jazz harmony. There is a wealth of information in terms of voicings, voice leading and chord/scale relationships and their application to common harmonic formulae (ii-V, etc.) and the chord progressions used in blues and common standard tunes. Jazz musicians interested in this vocabulary should find this book to be a useful launching pad for exploring this important corner of the world of jazz harmony. Bill Dobbins Jazz Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Author, Educator, Professor of Jazz Studies, Conductor, Coordinator Jazz Composition and Arranging, Eastman School of Music Chords in Motion is a highly detailed, informative and filling-in-the-gap text. It's an important and welcome addition to the jazz piano literature, which can be applied to any level of proficiency. Stefan Karlsson Jazz Pianist, Educator, Professor/Jazz Studies Division, University of North Texas Fantastic pianist Andy LaVerne has put together an amazing, detailed, and incredibly comprehensive guide for effectively implementing quartal and related voicings. He has honed in on the 'secret' to using these structures musically and creatively: moving the voicings through changes in logical and interesting ways. Clearly presented, extremely thorough, and loaded with information, Chords in Motion is a must-have for any pianist! Martin Bejerano Jazz Pianist, Composer, Educator, Assistant Professor, Jazz Piano, Frost School of Music University of Miami Chords in Motion is an in-depth look at fourth and related voicings that give an atmosphere that you want to improvise on. We play over the voicing, not the chord symbol. Chords in Motion targets that modal atmosphere that horn players love playing over. Love this book - can't wait to start practicing it! Jerry Bergonzi Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator, New England Conservatory I was thrilled when Jazz Piano Great Mulgrew Miller agreed to write a quote for this book. I was deeply saddened to hear of Mulgrew's passing just days before publication. All who loved Mulgrew and his music will sorely miss him, and are grateful for the rich musical legacy he left us. Rest easy, Mulgrew. Andy LaVerne
