Zum Gedachtnis des 100. Todestages P.I. Cajkovskijs fand in Tubingen Ende Oktober 1993 ein Internationales Tschaikowsky-Fest mit Ausstellungen, Konzerten und einem musikwissenschaftlichen Symposium statt, dessen Referate in diesem Band publiziert werden. Beim Tubinger Tschaikowsky-Fest wurde auch die Idee geboren, den neuen Ansatzen der Cajkovskij-Forschung und insbesondere der Cajkovskij-Philologie ein zentrales und internationales Publikationsforum zu schaffen: die Cajkovskij-Studien. In der neuen Reihe, die sich zugleich an Liebhaber wie an Fachleute wendet, werden Arbeiten zu den verschiedenen Aspekten des Lebens und Werks Cajkovskijs vorgelegt, Originalbeitrage und Ubersetzungen aus dem Russischen, gerade auch solche Arbeiten, die im Zusammenhang mit der Vorbereitung der Neuen Cajkovskij-Gesamtausgabe entstehen.

Composed by Henk Hogestein. On Parade! March. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2003. De Haske Publications #DHP 1033439-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1033439-010).

The convent of St. Florian was the place of work of the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner. It was in the rural setting of this convent with its marvelloaus church that Bruckner composed many of his great symphonies. St. Florian Choral is Thomas Doss’ modest tribute to this great master whose music has left its permanent mark on the composer’s musical life.

Der Besuch einer weltberühmten Blumenschau inspirierte den Komponisten Henk Hogestein zu diesem brillanten Marsch. Die riesige Vielfalt an exotischen und einheimischen Blumen spiegelt sich in ebenso abwechslungsreichen Themen wider, die mal melancholisch in Moll, dann lebhaft und schließlich heiter diesen Marsch zu einem ganz besonderen Erlebnis werden lassen.

Le compositeur néerlandais Henk Hogestein s’est inspiré d’une fl nerie travers un salon d’art floral pour composer cette marche élégante. Le premier thème, écrit dans une tonalité mineure, reflète la fois le mysticisme et la sensualité des senteurs et le mystère de la profondeur des couleurs des fleurs orientales. L’art floral décoratif est mis en relief dans le second thème, plus vif de caractère. Le trio, léger et pétillant, dépeint l’élégance des fleurs indigènes et des plantes exotiques.

Florian a évolue dans la diversité des parfums et des couleurs des espèces florales. Le style est méditérranéen, exotique, alpin. Le trio, léger et pétillant, dépeint l’élégance de l’art floral.

This series of easy piano music for teaching purposes presents pupils in the lower and lower middle grades with a carefully chosen selection of well-known and lesser-known compositions by important masters. The volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. There are four existing harpsichord books with a total of 226 compositions by Francois Couperin le Grand (1668 -1733). His works are as unknown to pianists as they are famous among harpsichord players. The grace and imaginativeness of his works lend themselves especially well to the sound of the harpsichord, which is why the piano interpretation of works by Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti and other composers of that time has been categorically rejected. But, after all, the works of Bach and Handel were written for the haipsichord and clavichord, and no one would dare question their intetpretation on the pianoforte. In order to introduce these lmpressionists of the Baroque Era to piano instruction, the editor has added to this series a folio of both Couperin's and Rameau's (EB 8033) music. The selection of the pieces is based on two criteria: 1. relatively modest demands made on technique, 2. various musical forms of expression. The Butterflies and the Windmills are both especially typical of masterful character pieces. The demands made on technique certainly correspond to a level of moderate difficulty. The simplifications made are restricted to the artistically realized twopart accompaniment (eg. p. 4 f. and p. 8 f.) with regard to finger stretch and to the profuse ornamentation of the original. The indications for phrasing and articulation are those of the editor. The first two pieces have been precisely elaborated on in this respect to serve as a model, whereas the remaining pieces contain only suggestions. As in other folios of this series; what is here to be stressed, is the importance of working out independently the phrasing and the dynamics. Directions for this are given by the respective footnotes; these directions, however, are not obligatory. lndications pertaining to dynamics and tempo have been omitted completely; the clearly recognizable character of the individual pieces should be direction enough. The tonal possibilities of the piano should in any case be used subtly. The very precise fingerings have been adapted to the suggested phrasings and to the corresponding realization of trills (according to the table). Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Spring 1980.

This complete edition, which is the first outside Russia, of the almost fourteen-year correspondence between P. I. Tchaikovsky and the music-loving patron (and wealthy widow of a Baltic railway entrepreneur) N. F. von Meck represents for German-speaking readers and music historians an indispensable primary source on the life and work of the greatest Russian composer as well as on his environment, while, at the same time, reflecting the political, cultural and social situation of the Russian Empire from the perspective of two privileged, educated and regime-loving subjects. The life of the large families Tchaikovsky-Davydov and von Meck, the unpleasant consequences of the composer's unhappy marriage, faith and religion, literature, philosophy, the reception of earlier and contemporary Russian and European music, fine arts, foreign travel, political, economic and social conditions - even farming (in Brailov and Kamenka/Verbovka, the Ukrainian estates of the von Meck and Davydov families) and many more are the topics of this correspondence between two related and yet so different personalities who, as agreed, never met in personal conversation and yet “talked” to each other in lively, often confessional speech. The texts of the letters in the present edition (whose planning dates back to the 1950s), with the added contrasting excerpts from letters of Tchaikovsky to other persons, such as his trusted brothers Anatoly and Modest, have been revised according to the new Russian Complete Edition by Polina Vajdman (Celjabinsk 2007 ff.). Various introductions, accompanying texts and overviews as well as comprehensive indices (one of them systematically by subjects), together with numerous explanations and notes at the bottom of the pages, make it easier for the reader to find his/her way through the all in all more than 1,200 documents. The three volumes are also available for subscription.

When some time ago I looked at works by the painter Egon Schiele whom I admire very much, I thought which paintings would have been painted by this artist, had he not died much too early. I envisioned the works he had never painted. Isn't it impressive with what modest means he achieves maximum emotional effect? It was this thought, too, that accompanied me during my work on this piece - though painting techniques cannot be directly reflected in the music, of course. Tatjana Komarova.

He initially planned a work that was modest in its production and performance demands. The project was also given priority not least because of the prospect of the royalties which he would then receive. He once again turned to Breitkopf & Hartel for the performance material: 'Tristan und Isolde' is scheduled to be given its first performance at the end of this year. I still hope that it will take place in Karlsruhe under my guidance. Due to the celebrity that I have now acquired, I assume that a new and easily performable work of mine should be able to spread very quickly across the German stages in its first winter season. Wagner was wrong. although the publisher had spent a great deal of time and money in producing preliminary material, Wagner wrote to Breitkopf & Hartel from Munich in November 1864: The squalor of Germany's opera singers and the vile condition of its opera houses have so far dissuaded me from allowing a performance of 'Tristan und Isolde'. What I needed was an impassioned young monarch to restore my courage. Next spring you will hear about the work's premiere in Munich, and you will then hopefully become more confident about this publication.

Among the most frequently performed and well-known of P. I. Tchaikovsky's (1840-1893) works, The Year 1812, Solemn Overture, Op. 49 (more commonly known as the 1812 Overture) was written in 1880 to commemorate the 1812 defeat of Napoleon's invading French army by the Russians. Despite the composer's lack of enthusiasm about the project at its inception, claiming that he wrote it without any warm and loving feelings, Tchaikovsky acknowledged later that he did well in its composition, saying I absolutely do not know whether my overture (The Year 1812) is good or bad, but I rather think it is the former (pardon my immodesty). It premiered on August 20, 1882, in Moscow at the Art & Industry Exhibition, Ippolit Altani conducting. Famous for its use of cannons in the Finale, the Finale also calls for the inclusion of a military brass band, which is labelled as open instrumentation in the original.
