The Modal Column is a cycle of paired pieces for piano, starting from the classical structure- prelude-fugue - used by Bach in Das wohltemperierte Klavier. The modes that are being used have a relatively simple octavizing structure, hence an almost infinite variety of combinations that can generate a large number of pieces, impossible to exhaust by a composer. Therein lies the idea of a column, in the sense given by Brancusi, i.e. an endless succession of modules.

In the vision of the author, the mechanism of the mode is a secondary (ancillary) aspect, the primary goal is deciphering the ethos incorporated in it.

The prelude-fugue structure hypostatizesthe musical discourse at the two possible extremes. free-constructed. While Romanian music rules in free areas, like any old music with an (especially oral) tradition, the constructed pieces start from Dutch (Flemish) or Venetian polyphony, which precedes the idea of fugue, understood as a technology of the movement (dynamics) of sound, after the models of Giovanni Gabrieli or Ockeghem.

The Modal Column is first of all the presentation of a melodic world but, as the subtitle indicates, also an investigation into the ethos of Romanian music. The forms in which the pieces are thought are simple, non-ostentatious, the whole cycle being in fact a musical workshop, whose better parts may be worth including in ampler works. Before the succinct description of the six couples in Books I and II, a few observations, necessary from a musicological point of view:

• 1. The modes are rich in nostalgia, with even graver nuances in the livelier movements.
• 2. It is well-known, that all the columns - Egyptian obelisks, ancient ornamental columns - have scenarios engraved on them. Trajan's Column describes the wars against the Dacians and their defeat. George Calinescu says, 'Trajan's Column is beautiful, but let us not forget that the Dacians are in chains on it.' The Romanian melos is millennia-old and was but little influenced by historical.

Noch mehr fabelhafte Pianosounds!
Mögen Sie bezaubernde Klavierballaden, wie sie z. B. den Soundtrack des Films Die fabelhafte Welt der Amélie prägen? Dann folgen Sie Christian Thosold in sein Piano Dreamland! Auch im 2. Band bleibt der erfahrene Klavierpädagoge seinem speziell bei Jugendlichen angesagten Soundkonzept treu, erweitert es aber um weitere attraktive stilistische Farben, die dem Rock, Pop und Blues entnommen sind.

Ruth und Naoyuki Taneda beschaftigen sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Musikerziehung von Kindern ab drei Jahren. In diesem Handbuch zeigen sie auf, dass es moglich ist, bei Kleinkindern uber das Medium Farbe (farbige Noten) das absolute Gehor zu entwickeln, also jene Horfahigkeit, die bisher als angeborenes Privileg einiger weniger, besonders begnadeter Musiker galt. Die Autoren betrachten den Mythos absolutes Gehor ganz nuchtern und zeigen, welche Moglichkeiten er fur die Musikerziehung am Klavier bietet. Sie weisen damit einen neuen Weg fur den fruhinstrumentalen Unterricht. Die Mitarbeit der Eltern ist in diesem fruhen Alter sehr wichtig. An sie und an interessierte Lehrer wendet sich dieses Begleitbuch zum Unterrichtswerk Wir horen und spielen. Die wichtigsten Ziele dieser Klavierschule sind: - Erwerb des absoluten Gehors - Entwicklung eines sicheren rhythmischen Gefuhls - Einfuhrung in das Klavierspiel, wobei eine gute Klangqualitat im Vordergrund steht.

National Edition. Composed by Frederic Chopin. Chopin National Edition. Classical. Book Only. Composed 2019. 80 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #PWM4927. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (BT.PWM4927).

Initiated a new genre of piano music; the ballades are not known earlier in instrumental music. Widely defined phrases, accelerated and slowed musical narrative, culminations in great climaxes, or ending with codas full of pathos - these qualities give Chopin's ballads a special, epic tone.
Critical source-edition edited by Jan Ekier and Pawe Kami ski based on manuscripts, copies approved by Chopin himself, and first editions. Its purpose is to present the works of Chopin in authentic form.

2 pianos, 4 hands

SKU: BO.B.3641

Composed by Daniel Basomba. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.B.3641).

These Three Studies for Four-handed Piano were conceived of as a triptych whose unifying principles were to be the first-slow-fast movement order of the classical sonata and a symmetrical arrangement of tonalities with A major occupying the centre (F minor- A major- C minor). The term Studies alludes not so much to the 19th century pedagogical concept of pieces-as-exercises, as to an attempt to extend, investigate and study the possibilities of expression and texture of the piano for four hands.

The First Study is generated out of a single rhythmical motif whose development is modified by the intervention of two contrapuntual passages. A certain difficulty of execution arising from the need to cross hands in both sections of the keyboard conforms, in this case, to the traditional definition of study as an exercise focussed on a specific technical problem.

The second piece might be defined as a study of expression, being the explicit disposition of an ostinato accompaniment and two superior voices in conversation. I cannot help, listening to this study, being reminded of the texture of the slow Largo of Bach's Concerto for 2 violins and the manifest pathos of the Andante of Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto.

The Third Study is an exercise in rhythmical interpenetration in which continual changes of accentuation and metre are combined with passages of a light and mellifluous character.

It is a long-standing ambition of mine to supplement this work with three more triptychs and, so, complete a set of twelve studies for four-handed piano.
