Schubert composed his great Piano Sonata in A major just a few months before his untimely death in 1828. The balance this work strikes between lyrical melody, emotional intimacy and pianistic brilliance makes it a highlight among his sonatas, not least because of its poetic 'Andantino?.This scholarly-critical edition by Walburga Litschauer is based on the Urtext of the 'New Schubert Edition? and uses the autograph manuscript as the prime source. The edition is rounded off by a new foreword, valuable notes on performance practice as well as a Critical Commentary with information on performance-relevant alternative readings and Schubert's notation of accents.Schubert's drafts of the A major Sonata can be accessed on Bärenreiter's website.- Edited on the basis of the 'New Schubert Edition?- Newly engraved scholarly-critical performing edition- Notes on performance practice (Ger/Eng)- Access to Schubert's drafts on the Bärenreiter website- New foreword (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano

Par TCHAIKOVSKI PIOTR ILITCH. Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker' is a ballet which because of its fairytale setting and well-known music is a particular favourite, especially with children.

Par ALBENIZ ISAAC. When Isaac Albéniz ’s work Sevilla was performed in Madrid in 1886, it not only brought the composer public recognition but also a commission to compose an eight-movement Suite espagnole for Piano (HN783). Although it took him a further 15 years to complete the latter, Sevilla was already published in a single edition in 1886. Most people are probably not familiar with the original version of thisspirited miniature about the Spanish city and its native flamenco. This is because Albéniz captured the musical character so effectively that Guitar players immediately claimed the piece for themselves. ThisHenle Urtext edition gives pianists the chance to reclaim flamenco for the Piano./ Répertoire / Piano

(Homage to Haydn). Par GOEHR ALEXANDER. My piece is subtitled ‘Homage to Haydn’. Why? Because it is modelled on Haydn’s Variations in F minor/major. But modelled does not imply pastiche or imitation. From Brahms onwards (if not before) there are countless examples of pieces modelled on others in a variety of ways. To do this does not imply a closeness to the original, rather inevitably a distance from it. I don’t know whether a listener would be the wiser for knowing the original. In any case a composition must stand on its own feet. Alexander Goehr / Date parution : 2016-11-20/ Répertoire / Piano

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Instead of considering the Piano as a percussion instrument (hammers hitting strings) Territoires De l'Oubli emphasises a different idiomatic characteristic of the instrument: a group of strings whose vibration is caused by sympathetic resonance or by direct action of the hammers. This is why the sustain pedal is depressed from the beginning until the very end of the piece: the work is written for the resonances, not for the attacks, which are considered as an inevitable but secondary phenomenon.

Par HARRIS PAUL. This revolutionary new series presents Paul Harris's Simultaneous Learning approach to teaching music. Co-written with Richard Crozier, this book gives guidance on how to tackle the nine pieces in the ABRSM publication Piano Exam Pieces Grade 2 2015 and 2016 with the most holistic approach. Every piece is looked at in detail, the crucial 'ingredients' are listed and a series of activities and ideas outlined for different stages: Pre-notation work, Introducing the notation and Playing and refining the piece. There is also a photocopiable pupil's worksheet for each piece. Because all aspects of musical training are connected through the Simultaneous Learning approach, the activities also improve every aspect of exam preparation. Aural, sight-reading, theory and scale and arpeggio practice will be transformed and pupils' overall understanding of music greatly enhanced./ Méthode / Piano

Par VAN NUETEN GUY. Light the fire, James. We'll take our digestive by the crackling of the hearth. Such were the thoughts that came to mind as I started listening to Guy Van Nueten's new record. Because, yes, there is a certain aristocracy to this music. There's the feeling of autumn and you immediately long to warm yourself on the sounds that issue from Van Nueten's bony fingers. But it could just as well be a car ride through soft rain at nightfall, where trees become freakish phantoms, and here and there a villa looms like a light beacon. Pacman is a record that makes you hunt for images, films you have seen before, feelings you have known and wish to relive, like a somewhat forbidden fruit, asecret pleasure. Melancholy? Absolutely. A vague sadness to make a person purr like a contented cat? Certainly. Yet at the same time, Van Nueten is cunning. While ensuring that his music pleases you, at the end of some compositions he'll suddenly come up with a theme that he'll stop abruptly, so that the notes remain hanging like snapshots of aerial acrobats in action. It is also investigative music as if Guy himself does not wish to know just where he will finish up. There is a stubbornness to it, an elegant fight perhaps between composer and pianist. It pursues you - exactly like a Pacman, in fact, chomping away at digital pieces of your heart. Yet it never seems to dissolve into thin air: time and again, right from the first listen, he makes you long to hear more. It is music that should protect a person like a secret, like an illegal fire in a forest that warms your hands and fills your head with dreams. It smells like cedar, this piano music. Or like a nice cigar offered to you by the imaginary James, who whispers: 'The fire is crackling, sir. Just as you like it.' At which point the enchantment begins all over again./ Répertoire / Piano

Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. The Fifteen Variations (with Fugue) op. 35 composed in 1802 are known primarily by their sobriquet “ Eroica Variations ” because the theme is also used in the finale of the Third Symphony. Together with its sister work, opus 34, this composition marks the breakthrough of character variations. Not without pride did the composer stress to his publisher that both works were “arranged in a truly quite new fashion. ” For the first time ever, the Eroica Variations are available in a standalone edition. The musical text of the Urtext edition, with extensive foreword and commentary, was prepared on the basis of the later Critical Apparatus of the Beethoven CompleteEdition. The fingering comes from the esteemed hands of Ian Fountain. / Loy, Felix / Répertoire / Piano

Par SHEARING GEORGE. The Shearing sound is the epitome of sophisticated jazz. This great collection shows off Mr. Shearing's tasty rhythm patterns, such as in 'Lullaby of Birdland,' his amazing harmonic progressions, such as in 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' his sense of musical humor, such as in 'All I Do is Dream of You,' and also a touch of Mr. Shearing's classical influences, such as with 'An Affair to Remember.' Most of his delightful arrangements are within reach of the late intermediate level pianist, and they make a wonderful bridge between the classics and the wide field of jazz repertoire. / Miscellaneous, Piano Music, Scores, Songbooks / Recueil / Piano

Because a fine orchestra depends on fine players, Solo Time for Strings emphasizes individual accomplishment, progress, and achievement while preparing young students for participation in a school orchestra. The series teaches reading in conjunction with note learning, enabling students to start playing melodies as soon as possible, and is appropriate for class or individual instruction. The solos assist in a progressive technical development from 'twinkle, twinkle' in Book 1 to music by Vivaldi in Book 5. / Piano
