Golliwogg's Cake-Walk est la dernière et sixième pièce d'un recueil de suites pour piano intitulé Children's Corner (« le coin des enfants »). Debussy commence à composer en 1906 ce petit recueil plein de féérie, une dédicace à sa fille Claude-Emma, plus connue sous le surnom de Chouchou, en 1908. C'est cette même année que le recueil est publié chez les éditions Durand, avec une couverture originale et plaisante faite par le compositeur lui-même. La première écoute officielle est créée au Cercle Musical à Paris le 18 décembre 1908 par Harold Bauer. Quelques années plus tard, Children's Corner est retranscrit pour orchestre par le compositeur André Caplet. Son audition est conduite par Debussy lui-même le 25 mars 1911.
Bien que ces six petites suites soient dédicacées à sa fille avec les mots suivants : « A ma très chère petite Chouchou, avec les tendres excuses de son père pour ce qui va suivre », elles ne s'adressent pas à des mains d'enfants. Car elles possèdent, pour certaines, des difficulté techniques inaccessibles pour de très jeunes éxécutants.
Les six pièces ont toutes un titre anglais, peut être faut-il y voir une aimable moquerie à l'anglomanie dominante de cette époque :
1) Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum
2)Jimbo's Lullaby (Berceuse des éléphants)
3)Ser enade for the doll (Sérénade à la poupée)
4)The snow is dancing (La neige danse)
5)The litthe shepherd (Le petit berger)
6)Golliwogg's cake-walk

Golliwogg's Cake-walk (allegro giusto, mi bémol à 2/4) est la pièce la plus célèbre du recueil, surnommée par le pianiste Alfred Cortot « Ataxique et dégingandée ». Elle représente l'apothéose finale de ce recueil. Il faut noter que le terme Cake-Wake correspond à une danse noire américaine et le mot Golliwogg représente une poupée de nègre en étoffe.
Debussy emprunte pour la première fois la musique jazz pour exprimer la danse des gestes articulés et saccadés de cette poupée nègre. Au milieu du Cake-Walk, il cite à demi-ironique les premières mesures de Tristan de Wagner en indiquant une annotation piquante : « avec une grande émotion »! puis reprend une deuxième citation dans l'accord final.
Gràce à cette pièce pleines d'effets musicaux et de contre temps rythmiques, le pianiste interprète développera un touché nuancé, de la sensibilité et de l'imagination dans l'éxécution pour faire vivre une oeuvre sautillante très originale.

This piece, dedicated to the memory of a heroic feat, does not desire to be classed as a Symphonic Poem in the generally accepted sense of this term. It does not attempt to picture, or to strictly follow, the various mechanical and realistic phases of this heroic adventure although, on the other hand, it does not entirely avoid allusion to such realistic phenomena as are characteristic of and inseperable from the nature of this adventure and the technical means of its realization. The composer's main object, however, was to try to express in sound the emotional phases of an adventure that might be called a prototype of modern romance; to touch upon its human aspect and its ethical meaning, not only in the relation to the individual, but to humanity in general. To the individual, the venturing Hero, refer the opening phrases; the sinister aspect of a bold inspiration at its first manifestation. To his human environments, his character and conquering spirit, refer certain lyrical as well as martial and ehical themes. According to the nature of the venture, the clash of motoric forces and that of an indomitable spirit with the threatening elements presented themselves for musical consideration as well as the plausible uncertainty of the outcome, the increasing conficence and the final victory, and triumphant victory itself. And as emotion in its purest and most intense form reverts to the primitive, the composer thought it not amiss to make fragmentary use of the anthems of two nations, thus symbolizing the appeal from soil to soil; an appeal that found its joyous echo in all humanity. And in the midst of the turbulent rejoicing stands the lone figure of the Hero whose daring had materialized the dream of aeons.

Composed by Thomas Dempster. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.10007).

Composer Thomas Dempster says, In differential calculus, an inflection point is a point on a curve at which the curvature changes sign - between positive and negative curvature. I construe the entirety of the piece as a somewhat long arc; the inflection point of the entire piece happens somewhere during the second movement. The first movement ('Quirky Rays and Charming Segments') takes the idea of a stationary point as a tonal center as more literally sees a line, or a curve, or pitches and motives passed around between the ensemble.This movement juggles a number of ideas and verily proffers some short-lived, rhythmically unstable and tonally ambiguous lines and arcs that return later on. The second movement ('Distant Planes and Objects') contains a fair amount of parallel motion, open and sparse figures, and static textures. Motion in pitch space extends outward in both directions from Ab and eventually returns, retracing the points. The final movement ('Jiggly Dots and Origins') is a mildly psychotic gigue that melds together the ideas of the previous two movements..

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object increases during motion. Kinetic Fanfare embodies that energetic spirit with its high velocity and aggressive melodies. A challenging piece for the advanced band and appropriate for festivals and assessments. Kinetic Fanfare is an energetic opening statement that is an excellent programming choice for any concert or festival performance.

Composé entre 1830 et 1831, ce Nocturne en mi bémol majeur de Frédéric Chopin est le morceau favori de tous les jeunes pianistes. Son charme mélodique, sa simplicité strophique, sa brièveté et sa relative facilité d’exécution l’ont rendu célèbre à travers le monde. Chopin y adopte le ton de la confidence et développe le thème principal de manière fort expressive, sans renier ses influences directement issues de l’art du bel canto. Ce thème subira trois variations ornementales, entrecoupées de ritournelles de transition. La coda, très prenante, apporte le climax émotionnel de l’œuvre avant de glisser lentement vers un pianissimo à la fois doux et serein.
