La nouvelle collection Primo ('Urtext Primo-Reihe') de la Wiener Urtext Edition ('édition viennoise - texte original') a pour objectif de remédier au manque qui existe entre la fin de l'étude d'une méthode de piano et le passage à la suite du processus sous forme de cours. Au sortir d'un niveau défini dans ses grandes lignes par le menuet en sol de Bach (BWV Anh. 116), le menuet en fa de Mozart (KV 5) ou le Cavalier sauvage de Schumann, chaque cahier du Urtext Primo-Reihe se compose d'oeuvres choisies parmi celles de trois compositeurs différents, le but étant d'offrir à chaque élève de piano (ou à chaque adulte reprenant le piano) un éventail de morceaux du répertoire à l'aide desquels on sera en mesure de continuer à développer ses capacités techniques. Le cadre de difficulté des pièces est défini avec une relative étroitesse de manière à permettre une utilisation continue du volume sur une période d'environ deux ans. C'est en cela que le concept de 'Urtext Primo-Reihe' se distingue de presque tous les autres albums ou recueils. Dans le choix du répertoire, on tient compte de la nécessité d'y faire figurer des pièces habituelles au cadre du cours de piano classique, d'une part, mais aussi d'autre part des pièces moins connues dont la pertinence dans un cours de piano n'est pas moindre. Les volumes de la collection Urtext Primo-Reihe sont publiés au standard international de la Wiener Urtext-Ausgabe. Les explications adjointes à chaque volume ont pour objet d'approfondir les connaissances en matière de styles, d'histoire de la musique, et de données spécifiques au piano. Un tableau du répertoire porté à la fin de chaque volume donne une idée très globale de la difficulté des pièces y figurant. Le volume 6 de Urtext Primo contient, avec Clementi, Czerny et Cramer, des pièces de piano faciles de trois compositeurs qui ont tous trois fait partie du premier rang des pédagogues du piano, ayant composé pour lui des méthodes et des pièces de répertoire d'étude. De Muzio Clementi, il n'existe pas seulement une sélection de ses sonatines les plus populaires, les pièces choisies de Carl Czerny démontrent qu'on n'a pas toujours besoin des vieilles recettes de leçons de piano, tandis que Johann Baptist Cramer (rendu célèbre par les Etudes de Cramer-Bülow) est l'auteur d'un répertoire qui n'est pas exclusivement destiné aux pianistes de haut niveau. / Piano

Grade 3-This collection of pieces was written for the Trinity Guildhall Examination Board syllabus. It is aimed principally at students of grades 1 to 5 and intended to combine technical challenges with that most vital musical ingredient: fun.Four pieces for bassoon and piano by Graham Sheen.Drunken Sailor - the sequelThis needs a plaintive tone especially in the upper register where the dynamics are particularly important. To capture the mood of the piece those slurs in bars 35 and 36 for example might even be close to a glissando. Use your imagination to recreate the sailor's state of health!The Vulgar BoatmanNot only more 'hidden' melodies but moreappalling puns! (Volga Boatman for those not versed in Russian folksongs). This is like a waltz: it is written in 3/4 time but played so as to give the impression of one beat in bar. The melodies need to be well sustained so that we hear four eight or even more bars as a single phrase. Clues for the musical detective:- in addition to the Volga Boatman you might spot just a hint of 'Sailing down the River on a Sunday Afternoon' 'We Sail the Ocean Blue' (H.M.S. Pinafore) The Eton Boat Song and even Wagner's Flying Dutchman.Last Tango in HarrisEveryone must surely know these thinly disguised Scottish tunes but can you make them sound like a tango? Bear in mind that tangos are not jazz: the rhythm is quite strict but the tango character is in the tone and the phrasing. Notice how expressive the occasional shorter note value can be as in bars 4 and 5 in the bassoon part.Rheumanian StretchesOr was that Rumanian Sketches? This is a chance to play the main melody in two registers of the bassoon. Try to make a good even sound in both octaves. This piece requires careful counting since the phrases in the bassoon part don't always begin where you might expect. Think of this piece as a song.
