Premier Anniversaire Jean Cras Jean Cras (1879-1932) a relativement peu écrit pour le piano, qu'il pratiquait d'ailleurs fort bien, tout comme il jouait couramment du violon, de l'alto et de l'orgue. Son 'uvre maîtresse pour le clavier, les Danze (1917), constitue une sonate à peine déguisée, de grande ampleur, à côté de laquelle les Poèmes intimes (1902-1911) et les Paysages (1917) sont deux recueils de pièces de genre, reflets d'impressions comme surgies d'un journal tenu au gré de ses campagnes par cet officier de marine. Ajoutons les adorables Âmes d'enfants, initialement dédiées aux six mains de ses trois petites filles (plus tard arrangées pour quatre mains et également orchestrées), des piécettes inédites de jeunesse et quelques transcriptions, et nous aurions toute l''uvre pour piano de Cras, s'il ne s'était remis au clavier pour cette ultime page de piano seul. Ce Premier Anniversaire, c'est celui de son fils Jean-Pierre, le petit dernier tant désiré, né le 1er mai 1918 à Rome, huit ans après sa troisième fille. L''uvre est datée de Dieppe, où le capitaine de corvette Cras était en charge de la déréquisition des chalutiers (remise à la vie civile de ces bâtiments qui avaient été armés pour la défense côtière). Il devait, quelques semaines plus tard, entrer à l'état-major de la Marine puis rejoindre le cabinet du ministre de la Marine, étapes parmi tant d'autres d'une fort belle carrière de marin, culminant dans sa promo­tion au grade de contre-amiral au printemps 1931. Major général du port de Brest, c'est là qu'il est emporté par une maladie foudroyante en septembre 1932. Premier Anniversaire a été créé par Alain Jacquon à Paris, au Reid Hall, le 3 décembre 2011, dans le cadre des concerts organisés par la Dive Note. C'est également Alain Jacquon qui en a assuré le premier enre­gistrement, en septembre 2012, pour Timpani. Cette partition a été établie à partir de deux manuscrits autographes, l'un au crayon (collection privée), l'autre, sans doute postérieur, à l'encre (médiathèque musicale Mahler). partition pour piano 6 min ISMN 979-0-2318-0730-1 21 x 29,7 cm (ép. 4 mm) cahier agrafé 11 pages 55 g

Dvorák's 'Requiem?, for soloists, choir and orchestra, is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber orchestra based on the full score from the 'Complete Edition of the Works by Antonín Dvorák?.The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single horn- all that remains of the percussion are the timpani- the organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and bass clarinet parts can be replaced by an oboe and clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts).This arrangement, which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvorák's original orchestration, makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.- Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration- A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement- In keeping with the vocal score H 2924-90 / Violoncelle
