The three movements of Op. 81a are entitled 'The Departure,' 'The Absence,' and 'The Return,' dedicated to the Archduke Rudolf, an excellent pianist, friend, and patron of the composer. Rudolf's departure was part of an evacuation plan for Viennese aristocracy to escape the imminent occupation of Vienna by Napoleon's armies. An autograph of the first movement believed to have been presented to the Archduke Rudolf in 1809 is in the collection of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. Dr. Stewart Gordon's editions of Beethoven's most popular piano sonatas provide the key to a stylistic performance. Thorough research of the earliest available sources has enabled Dr. Gordon to produce the most accurate reflection of the composer's intent. Each sonata contains helpful fingering suggestions and performance recommendations. / Piano

Par CORNICK MIKE. In classical jazz and popular styles! Along with the recently published 20 Piano Studies (UE 21233), this new set of études - this time for easy to intermediate level players, is a welcome departure from the usual study book. Key signatures in these easier pieces are restricted to major keys of up to 2 sharps or flats and their relative minor keys. Each piece primarily focuses on a particular technical or interpretive aspect of piano playing and encompasses various musical styles. Again, Mike Cornick's attractive pieces and carefully considered approach will both inspire as well as educate. / Études et exercices / Etude / Piano

Par HERCHENRODER MARTIN. 'Toccata and Lament” was composed on commission in 2008 to inaugurate the large new organ in the Christ Church Cathedral, Rochester, NY, USA. This instrument is a detailed reconstruction of a late Baroque organ of 1776 from Vilnius in Lithuania. The point of departure - a clash of contrasting eras and musical cultures on two continents - already bodes excitement. Martin Herchenröder, a composer and professor of music theory, has incorporated these contrasts in his roughly eight-minute composition. The result is a musical idiom of rare distinction, universal in its musical resources and alternating between tonal triads and extremely dissonant clusters. The heart of the piece is a dirge which, using the Baroque doctrine of the affections, relates to Eastern European cultural history in and around Vilnius, a history marked by the predations of 20th-Century war./ Répertoire / Orgue

This is a scale book of unprecedented scope. Simon Fischer has developed an entirely new method in which, using the traditional ways of practising scales only as a point of departure, he focuses on numerous often-neglected aspects of the violist's technique. For every element he has designed exercises that sensitize the ear, stimulate the mind and build the playing apparatus of the violist. The many outstanding features of this book include:how to structure intonation around perfect intervals and leading notesa new approach to learning how to time shiftsextensive notation for preparing and holding down fingersone-, two-, three- and four-octave scales and arpeggiostwo-octave scales and arpeggios on one stringnew sequences for single-finger scalesMany well-known Fischer classics are also incorporated, including practice methods for intonation, smooth bowing, string crossing, fast fingers, fourth-finger extensions and placing fingers in blocks. The innovative and wide-ranging material in Scales keeps the player turning the pages, discovering yet more exciting ways to approach scales. The wealth of thought-provoking exercises encourages violists to re-evaluate their practice - developing the playing skills of violists at all levels from intermediate to professional. / Alto

Par ANDRE MARC. Un-fini closes the cycle 'L’instant de sable' and opens a cycle to which it gives its name: The work is thus simultaneously a point of arrival and a point of departure. The term 'un-finite' brings this paradox, which springs from the speculative thinking of John Duns Scotus and Meister Eckhart, to expression./ Répertoire / Cymbales, Harpe, 2 Pianos et 2 Percussions

Par POTT FRANCIS. The Only was written, as a conscious departure from intricate polyphonic part-writing, by a composer to whose thinking counterpoint is usually more central. This piece seeks to emulate the kind of easy lyricism which is such a fingerprint of John Rutter's music, while preserving a slightly more austere, even archaic harmonic language. The rhythmic patterning of the accompanying piano part suggests a more popular idiom, and makes the carol suitable for use outside the confines of a church service. / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Mixtes et Piano
