It comprises three movements in different characters, which can be easily identified by the audience. The first movement, Allegro con brio, is in sonata form. The first theme is majestic and powerful with dualistic motifs, one of which leads to the mild subordinate theme. The unfolding of the whole movement is based upon the contrast between the two themes. The form of the second movement is freer. The slow song-like introduction is like poem-reciting, and the main theme follows it. The movement comprises four sections, which are coalesced by the common motifs among them. The last movement is Scherzo - Allegro Vivace. The ample width of its rhythmic change brings different shades of delight, sometimes witty, brisk; sometimes majestic, agitated, throaty, etc. Nevertheless, the diversity never eclipses the musical coherence. It is the characteristic, as well as the very highlight, of the piece. The pianist in the world premiere in Regensburg was Prof. K. Pfeiffer, and the first public performance of this piece in Taiwan is presented by the pianist Hsu Tzu-Chen.

Solo Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.951455 Composed by Andrew Howes. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Individual part. 2 pages. Andrew Howes #6863333. Published by Andrew Howes (A0.951455). A wistful, elegiac tone-poem for the classical guitar evoking the feeling of the falling of the year with breezes, falling leaves, fading light and a storm through the use of atonality, quartal harmony and chromatic descent. The piece is in sonata form but with the sections mainly denoted by textural/thematic contrast and the use of A and E respectively as tonal reference points: the rhythm is to be treated fairly freely with plenty of space.

Six Bagatelles for Beethoven 250

Clarinet Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.913621 Composed by James Marshall. Classical. Individual part. 64 pages. James Marshall Music #6096487. Published by James Marshall Music (A0.913621). Six Bagatelles for Clarinet and Piano were composed in March, 2020 for Beethoven 250. They are drawn from Beethoven piano music. The sources are piano sonatas, bagatelles, and a landler. With my ever faithful friend and collaborator, London Clarinetist Alison Eales in mind, I sought to add to the Clarinet repertoire. Having written five pieces over the past two years in English manner for Clarinet (English Sonatina, English Autumn, London Concerto, Enchanted London, Postcards from England), a tip of the hat to the Austrian Titan seemed appropriate. Beethoven, unlike Mozart before him and Brahms after him, wrote no solo music for Clarinet. The Trio and scoring in Symphonies are his unique contributions to the repertoire. Beethoven was a contemporary of Weber who wrote extensively for solo Clarinet. With most of the passages being arrangements, my original homage passages frame the settings and are juxtaposed with them. The tone of the music is one of homage and recollection with no intent to imitate or parody the great master. Bagatelles are by nature lighter fare of shorter duration. Hence no long, authentic passages with inherent mood swings and elaborations. By adapting the music to the bagatelle form, it reflects the less ponderous side of the composer. Although Beethoven’s music is capable of great depth and despair, the more transcendent, pastoral, and exuberant moods prevail in these pieces. The final two movements, Recitative and Rondo, draw on the Waldstein Sonata and Emperor Piano Concerto, and Sonata Op 2 No3 as well. The Rondo theme is in Eb, my own, is reminiscent of the Emperor Concerto in it intense yet lilting motif. Perhaps the listener will hear hints of Weber, a clarinet favorite of mine, as well in this final movement. Two movements are scored for Clarinet in A, and four movements for Clarinet in Bb.

Piano - intermediate - Digital Download (White Scenery (Winter)). Composed by Peteris Vasks (1946-). This edition: single sheet. Downloadable. Duration 7 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q12485. Published by Schott Music - Digital
Peteris Vasks occupies a special position in the circle of Baltic composers. He is not only the most significant and popular composer ever to come out of Latvia. he always speaks to his listeners with a fervent intensity that seems to point to something higher. This higher aspect is without a doubt something that stands above the world of humanity but is also present within each person: divine nature.<br> <br> "I am deeply rooted in nature, in the nature of the North. It influences all of my music. The nature we know is also quite various. we have four very distinct seasons. The winter is very long, the summer very short and therefore all the more beautiful and longed for. The seasons in between are quite dramatic."<br> <br> The first of Peteris Vasks's Seasons pieces was not written with the intention of forming a complete cycle. For his friend, Talivaldis Deksnis, he composed in 1980 Balta ainava - White Landscape (Winter), in 1981 Rudens muzika - Autumn Music, and in 1995 the Pavasara muzika - Spring Music. In 2008, Zala ainava - Green Landscape (Summer) came into being, the piece which completed the cycle.<br> <br> In 2009, as a kind of "encore", Vasks wrote Vasaras vakara muzika - Music for a Summer Evening based on old sketches. this, of all the pieces, is the one most anchored in tradition. Only the two newest pieces - both of which have to do with summer - have a fixed metrical structure. The three earlier works are metrically free, notated without bar lines, which gives them an improvisatory character.<br> <br> Vasks says of the individual pieces in the cycle: "In Balta ainava everything is white. A new year begins. It is a quiet meditation, a new beginning, with only two themes.<br> <br> Pavasara muzika. Quasi una Sonata - the most demanding piece in this cycle - is intense, an impressive development. Spring comes slowly, with much drama. It is like a battle, until it is simply there. This multi-faceted piece, with its bird songs, lives from conflicts and dramatic intensification and ends in ecstatic rapture. Zala ainava is based on two themes. Our summer is very brief and offers a respite after the battles. And it is so beautiful! The music reflects joy and contentment. The first theme brings a kind of pure energy. the second is more devoted to tone painting. At the end, a five-note quotation from a well-known Latvian folksong about a drunkard is heard.<br> <br> Rudens muzika begins pianissimo on a quiet September day, in a peaceful, sunny atmosphere. Now the autumn storms sweep over the land. a gentle sadness settles on the people and on nature, which surrenders its splendor. After a last great storm, the snow comes again as a symbol of purified conclusion and a new beginning. Vasaras vakara muzika takes place at the quiet end of a summer day. The sun sets. Slowness. Memories of previous experiences surface. With the memories' appearance comes an increase in intensity. Towards the end, a kind of folksong is heard: 'We have survived the time of tyranny and retained our identity'. The ending is quiet, everything is asleep."<br> <br> Christoph Schluren<br> <br> Translation: John Patrick Thomas and W. Richard Rieves
