Early Piano Music. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. The tonal language of the young Richard Strauss is still characterized by the traditions of the 19th Century; indeed, the musical content of the composer’s early piano works is determined to a large extent by his response to the examples of Schubert, Mendelssohn and Schumann. These previously unpublished piano pieces appear for the first time in this edition. The “Sonatinas” in several movements and a “Fantasie” from the year 1874 - whose level of difficulty is comparable with the Sonatinas by Kuhlau and Clementi and with early pieces by Mozart - are versatile pieces suitable for teaching purposes./ Recueil / Piano

In Sonata 7 in D major Balicourt opens with a suave intricately rhythmic Adagio. The following Presto with its delightful interplay between flute and bass including both octave doubling and stretto imitation is the most skittish movement to emerge from the composer’s pen. The finale is a ‘sandwich’ movement in which a Minuetto encloses a duple-metre Cantabile in D minor. Although the minuet could be said to exemplify one of those ‘easy’ movements referred to in Balicourt’s prospectus for subscribers its complex prescribed ornamentation requires sensitive handling. Sonata 8 in E minor is strategically placed as the final work inthe set being one of the longest as well as the most conservative; adopting the traditional four-movement configuration it continually harks back to the grand Handelian style. An eloquent Andante ushers in a Presto containing many slightly academic contrapuntal touches and much chromaticism. The subsequent Largo is only five bars long: its plain melodic line in minims and crotchets is the skeleton around which the flautist is expected to weave an elaborate embroidery. For the finale Balicourt introduces in effect a new version in triple metre of the second movement. The fact that all four movements are in E minor heightens the sense of unity which is expressed very concretely through their sharing of some thematic material.

It was the ?Slavonic Dances for Piano Duet? op. 46 which brought Antonín Dvorák unexpected international fame. An unerring business instinct led Fritz Simrock, at the beginning of 1878, to ask the Czech composer for some works for piano duet into which Dvorák incorporated musical themes from where he grew up. Following in the footsteps of Brahms?s ?Hungarian Dances?, Dvorák refrained from a literal portrayal of individual kinds of dance. As a result, he created unique masterpieces of European music for domestic use and concert performance.'
