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 BARTOK BELA. Composed in 1910/11, Bartók's Allegro barbaro is one of his best-known and most popular works for piano. The composer himself enjoyed performing it in concerts, and recorded it several times. The recording from 1929, which he referred to as the 'authentic recording”, contains very interesting divergences from the printed version as far as articulation, tempo and even the number of ostinato measures are concerned. For the first time, these have been included in the musical text of our Urtext edition, and also annotated. With this first Bartók Urtext edition, László Somfai gives an insight into the many and varied musical impulses awaiting us in the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition, which will be jointly published by Editio Musica Budapest and G. Henle Publishers from 2016. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Piano

Par RAVEL MAURICE. In 1920 Maurice Ravel was asked by his publisher Durand to contribute to an issue of La Revue Musicale dedicated to Claude Debussy. A supplement included the first movement of Ravel’s Sonata as well as works contributed by Debussy’s friends Stravinsky, Satie, Dukas, Bartok and de Falla to name only a few. This 1st movement of Ravel’s Sonata, of which the autograph is lost, then developed into a large scale four movement chamber music work utilizing a more modern music vocabulary than found in almost any other Ravel composition. Bärenreiter’s scholarly-critical edition, the first ever of this masterpiece, presents the work in two performing scores. It contains anintroduction on the history of the work reflecting Ravel’s work and rehearsals with violinist Hélène Jourdan-Morhange and cellist Maurice Maréchal. Sources for this new edition include the engraved copy, the personal autograph scores (with earlier versions of some passages) which were used to rehearse the work and the first edition scores with emendations by Jourdan-Morhange and Maréchal. Included in the appendix are the original fingerings by the performers which are not found in the first edition. They reflect how Ravel must have heard the work in rehearsals and as such are a document of early 20th century performance practice. First Urtext edition of this work Two performing scores (format 25, 5 x 32, 5 cm) The violoncello part does not allow for page turns in the first movement; therefore the edition includes an additional violoncello part in small print presenting the entire first movement on a double page without a page turn Informative introduction to the genesis of the work (Ger/Eng/Fr) Critical commentary with facsimiles and appendices/ Répertoire / Violon et Violoncelle

A travers cette partition, Jean-Christophe Rosaz donne à la flûte et son inséparable guitare l'occasion de ' croiser les fers ' mais aussi de créer un espace de liberté où trouver la paix, Dans un langage inscrit dans le courant des musiques d'aujourd'hui, le compositeur livre au ' lecteur-auditeur ' le récit inattendu de notre duo parti en 2010 pour un voyage musical en Israël et Palestine, TEMPO NUEVO Si, au coucher du soleil où silence se fait, on tend l'oreille, on peut percevoir la musique du monde, La ou les musiques du monde proches ou lointaines, Marqué profondément par la découverte de l'ethnomusicologie enseignée par Yvette Grimaud, marchant comme en rêve dans les pas de Zoltan Kodaly et Béla Bartók parcourant les campagnes d'Europe centrale à la rencontre des musiciens pour noter leurs chants, me voici toujours plus loin sur cette voix,C'est ainsi qu'est née l'idée de ' Au désert demeure la paix ' pour flûte et guitare, Cette pièce composée en hommage à la musique israélo-arabe du bassin méditerranéen en utilise certaines bribes de phrases et modes ainsi que la façon de faire sonner instruments à cordes pincées ou ' soufflées, 'Elle se veut aussi, en ces temps ' voilés ', proposer un autre sujet d'échange entre les deux mondes d'ici et là-bas, occident et proche orient, Une toute autre rencontre qui a le désir d'élever un peu le débat et se nourrir des richesses de chaque culture et vision du monde,Cette partition évoque la dissolution d'une certaine violence, derniers échos des tensions de la journée passée (illustrée par les pizz Bartok à la guitare) vers une danse qui, les emportant, réunit les voix de la flûte et de la guitare jusqu'à s'apaiser dans un chant final, Le désert brûlant sous le soleil qui darde ses rayons comme des flèches fait place, à la tombée du jour, à la fraîcheur de la nuit où l'esprit peut se détendre enfin et aspirer à la paix incommensurable du ciel couchant envahi par les étoiles qui apparaissent une à une,JC, Rosaz / Flûte Et Guitare

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
