Par BALAZS ARPAD. Television viewers of nearly a hundred countries have experienced Árpád Balázs's touching melodies. The series of cartoons have neither dialogue nor text: the music presents the amiable and entertaining adventures of the rabbit with chequered ears and its friends. Balázs has rephrased and developed the well-known melodies and as a result a ''children's story symphony'' of seven movements has been created in which, in contrast with Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, there is no narrator but the instruments themselves represent the story-tellers. The composer has again associated the groups of instruments with one another in a colourful and varied manner, skilfully alternating the modes of solo, chamber orchestra and orchestra. Movements I, II, IV and VII represent a ''short suite'' that can be independently performed, thus due to its duration of four minutes and easier level, ensembles with more modest opportunities can also perform it. The most well-known parts of the cartoon series music - the main title and the ending - are included in both versions./ Répertoire / Concert Band

Par DELFRATI CARLO. Il pensiero musicale, articolato in tre volumi, sviluppa i concetti della teoria musicale e gli elementi della notazione in modo progressivo. Ogni volume è corredato da CD audio per le attività di ascolto, ear-training, dettato musicale. IMPOSTAZIONE E METODOLOGIA: Il corso è frutto di oltre quarant'anni di studi e di insegnamento dell'autore, Carlo Delfrati, e della sua concezione fortemente innovativa della didattica musicale: la formazione teorica va di pari passo con attività pratiche, creative e analitiche. INOLTRE: L'apprendimento della lettura è graduale e progressivo, grazie ad un approccio basato sull'immediatezza percettiva di melodie e figurazioni ritmiche. Per le letture (ritmiche e melodiche) viene utilizzato il repertorio musicale di ogni periodo storico: dal Medioevo a oggi, dal tradizione popolare alla musica etnica. Un'antologia che servirà anche negli studi più avanzati./ Solfège/Formation Musicale / Opéra Théorique ou Didactique
