Debussy's
friendship with the
versatile poet and
playwright Gabriel Mourey
began in 1899, and in
July 1907 Mourey offered
Debussy a libretto based
on Le roman de Tristan -
Joseph Bedier's
adaptation of a
twelfth-century Breton
romance by the
Anglo-Norman poet known
as Thomas - which had
recently been published
in Paris. Debussy
enthusiastically outlined
the four-act plot to
Victor Segalen that
October, and the main
differences from Wagner's
Tristan und Isolde are
that none of the action
takes place in Cornwall
and that Isolde of the
White Hands is found
guilty of cuckolding King
Marc with Tristan, who
has to rescue her from
the leper colony in which
she is abandoned in Act
1. She also betrays him
when he goes mad at the
end.
The idea of a
Tristan that restored its
'legendary character' and
had no connections with
Wagner, appealed to
Debussy, who was
extremely moved by the
circumstances of
Tristan's death. Even if
he thought that Mourey's
poetry was 'not very
lyrical and many passages
do not exactly invite
music', he did work on
the libretto and the
music that summer and
sent his publisher,
Jacques Durand, 'one of
the 363 themes for the
Roman de Tristan' in a
letter sent from
Pourville on 23 August,
1907. The present prelude
grows from this theme,
together with the
poignant Breton folksong
Le Faucon. After a short
atmospheric introduction,
Debussy's dance-like
theme (which is
definitely not a
leitmotif) gradually
gains momentum and after
it reaches its ecstatic
climax, representing the
transient happiness of
the lovers, it dissolves
into an expressive coda
and an elegiac close (all
growing from Debussy's
opening, off-stage
trumpet calls), leaving
us with the ultimate
tragedy of their
ill-fated
affair.
Unfortunat
ely, Mourey's actual
libretto has been lost
and the project
eventually foundered
because Bedier's cousin,
Louis Artus, wanted
Debussy to use the
scenario he had prepared
and copyrighted for the
stage, and would not
allow him to proceed with
Mourey's version.
Debussy, it need hardly
be said, would never have
dreamed of collaborating
with the author of the
vaudeville hit La culotte
(The pants)!

Zoltá
n Kocsis (1952-2016) left
a lasting mark not only
as a phenomenal pianist,
but as a musical
polymath: his genius
combined the composer,
conductor, editor,
instrumentalist, and
orchestrator. With his
transcriptions he
enriched the symphonic,
chamber, song, and piano
repertoires with a
hundred and fifty
works.This publication
contains a transcription
by Kocsis of the prelude
to Wagner's Tristan und
Isolde. In 1982 the work
was recorded played by
Kocsis, and today we
regularly find it in
pianists' programmes.

An
Anthology of Piano Music
for the Left Hand Alone
marks a rare and
significant entry to the
piano literature as one
of the only collections
of the oft-neglected
left-hand piano
repertoire. Serious
literature for the left
hand alone has a long and
storied past. Contained
within this volume, the
serious advanced pianist
will find a wealth of
artistically satisfying
repertoire for the left
hand that will not only
strengthen the technical
development of the left
hand, but also make for
impressive showpieces on
the recital stage.This
volume includes hitherto
unpublished gems like
Earl Wild's Etude No. 3
for the Left Hand Alone
(Based on
Gershwin’s The Man
I Love) and Ruth Wylie's
Soliloquy for Piano, Left
Hand, Op. 23, as well as
established classics of
the repertoire like
Godowky's Chopin
arrangements, and even
modern and contemporary
additions like
Bartok’s Etude for
the Left Hand and
Corigliano's Etude No. 1
for the Left Hand
Alone.

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.

The famous
Golliwogg's Cakewalk is
the final piece from
Debussy's cycle
Children's Corner which
consists of 6 miniatures
for piano, written for
his daughter in the years
1906-1908.The style
corresponds to that of
ragtime, a dance which
was in vogue around the
turn of the century. In
the middle section, he
parodies several times
the beginning of the
opera Tristan and Isolde
by Richard Wagner with
whom Debussy had a rather
ambiguous
relationship.The present
arrangement now allows
musicians to play the
popular movement in a
version for melodic
instrument with
accompaniment.

Herz an Herz,
as the title implies
(heart to heart), is a
love duet. Two distinct
voices, characterised
through their respective
male and female vocal
registers, negotiate a
warm, heartfelt melody
through a loosely
strophic form. Initially
the voices sing in turn,
each section - or verse -
led predominantly by one.
Each time their lines
entwine, virtuosic
flourishes ascend the
keyboard, interrupting to
render them silent again.
It is only after one
particularly tumultuous
episode that the true
duet appears: Out of the
murky resonances of the
lowest “Aâ€
emerges the throbbing
chords and impassioned
vocal lines from
WagnerÂ’s famous duet,
O sink hernieder, Nacht
der Liebefrom the second
act of Tristan und
Isolde. The 'singers',
now reconciled, come
together for one final
verse before a fleeting
memory of the beginning
gently ushers in the end
of the piece. Herz an
Herz was awarded 1st
prize in William Howard's
Love Song Composing
Competition and was
premiered on 26th April
2017 at Hoxton Hall,
London, by William
Howard.
