Par BARTOK BELA. Like so many famous virtuosic works, Bartók’s Sonata for Solo Violin was said, by its commissioner, Yehudi Menuhin, at first sight, to be unplayable! Of course, Menuhin soon changed his opinion, later describing the work as the most important composition for solo violin since Bach. The original work used the full array of violin techniques such as stopped harmonics, left-hand pizzicato and quarter tones. These demands gave arranger, Christophe Dejour, much pause for thought when preparing this arrangement, not least in how to produce quarter tones on the guitar! Fortunately, both Bartók and Menuhin came to his rescue here. Menuhin had had problems playing these at speed and Bartók agreed that they were only for “colour” and accepted an alternative version Menuhin presented to him. The Sonata also contains several compositional techniques that are highly appropriate for the guitar such as chord progressions, contrapuntal motion and rhythmic sharpness, allowing Dejour to produce an arrangement that requires great skill to play, just as the original violin version demanded of Yehudi Menuhin./ Répertoire / Guitare

Par BARTOK BELA. For many countries, folk dances are important cultural treasures. While a first glance at these compositions shows their clear and simple structure with a distinct musical message, a closer look reveals rhythmic curiosities, interesting harmonic shifts, and a diverse expressive range. These characteristics must have enthralled Bartók, as he undertook several research trips to collect original folk tunes. Doing so, he experienced a wealth of culture, as well as a great diversity of people and nature, which he documented musically without altering the charm and authenticity of each encounter. Following a number of arrangements of the pieces (originally composed for piano), the Romanian Folk Dances are now available for Flute and Piano. Gergely Ittzé has captured the spirit of the Hungarian composer perfectly with his arrangements, combining an authentic treatment of the classical original with a sprinkle of contemporary elements. The resulting sound effects are a wonderful match for the old Rumanian peasant style of music. ? Style and atmosphere have been captured in six colourful duo movements of intermediate to more advanced difficulty ? These dances with such diverse melodies, rhythms and origins make sophisticated and entertaining concert pieces ? Elementary pedagogical topics such as technique, meter, harmony, and articulation are addressed within authentic pieces of musical art/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Par RIVOAL YVON / GARSON CATHERINE. La musique populaire d'Amérique Latine est une des plus riches sur le plan harmonique et rythmique. En faire un outil pédagogique est une démarche intéressante qui, à l'instar des travaux de Kodaly et Bartok sur la musique traditionnelle hongroise et slovaque, ne peut que développer le goût musical. La harpe est l'un des instruments du folklore d'Amérique centrale et du Sud : voici donc un nouveau répertoire pour les élèves avec ces pièces souvent teintées de nostalgie que nous avons tous déjà dans l'oreille. Bravo à Catherine Garson et Yvon Rivoal pour avoir eu cette idée qui permettra aux jeunes harpistes (et aux moins jeunes !) de jouer avec plaisir.

Arrangeur: Vilmos Bántai_Éva B. Sipos. Par BARTOK BELA. This book contains arrangements of piano pieces written by Béla Bartók (1881-1945) in his youth for piano pupils (Ten Easy Piano Pieces, For Children, The First Term at the Piano). Most are arrangements of Hungarian or Slovak folk songs, while the rest are based on the composer's own melodies. The pieces appear in order of difficulty, but even the simplest can be used as effective performance pieces. The album is recommended for the first three years of flute learning, and the first four pieces are playable within the first year. A piano accompaniment for each piece and a full performance by noted Hungarian musicians is provided on the accompanying CD to facilitate practice at home and help in developing a suitably styled performance of Bartók's music. / Niveau : Facile / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
