680160924530. Marce
l Tournier
(1879–1951) was
one of the most important
harpist/composers in the
history of the harp. Over
his long career, he added
a significant catalogue
of very beautiful works
to the harp repertoire.
Many of his solo works,
almost one hundred, have
been consistently in
print since they were
first published. But in
recent years harpist Carl
Swanson has discovered a
treasure trove of pieces
by Tournier heretofore
unknown and unpublished.
These include the
Déchiffrages in this
edition, as well as songs
set for voice, harp, and
string quartet, and
ensemble arrangements of
some of his most beloved
works.All of the works
that Carl Swanson found
were in manuscript only.
With the help of the
great harpist Catherine
Michel, he has put these
pieces into playable
form, and they are being
published for the very
first time. He and
Catherine often had to
re-notate passages to
show clearly how they
could be played, adding
fingerings and musical
nuances, tempos, pedals,
and pedal
diagrams.Tournier wrote
these pieces when he was
in his 20s, and before he
became the
impressionistic composer
those familiar with his
work know so well. They
are written in the late
nineteenth-century
romantic style that was
being taught at that time
at the Paris
Conservatory. They are
beautiful short,
intermediate level pieces
by a first rate composer,
and add much needed
repertoire to that level
of playing. Marcel
Tournier
(1879–1951) was
one of the most important
harpist/composers in the
history of the harp. He
graduated from the Paris
Conservatory with a first
prize in harp in 1899. He
also studied composition
there and won a second
prize in the prestigious
Prix de Rome competition,
as well as a first prize
in the Rossini
competition, another
major composition
competition of the day.
From 1912 to 1948 he
taught the harp class at
the Paris Conservatory.
But composition, and
almost entirely,
composition for the harp,
was the main focus of his
life. His published
works, including many
works for solo harp, a
few for harp and other
instruments, and several
songs, number around one
hundred pieces.In 2019,
while researching
Tournier for my edition
MARCEL TOURNIER: 10
Pieces for Solo Harp, I
discovered that there was
a significant list of
pieces by this composer
that had never been
published and were not
included on any inventory
of his music. Principal
on this list were his
déchiffrages
(pronounced
day-she-frahge, like the
second syllable in the
word garage).The word
déchiffrage means
sight-reading exercise,
and that was their
original purpose.
Tournier numbered and
dated these pieces, with
dates ranging from 1900
to 1910, indicating that
they were in all
likelihood written for
Alphonse
Hasselmans’ class
at the Paris
Conservatory. Tournier
was probably told how
long to make each one,
and how difficult. They
range in length from two
to four pages, with only
one in the whole series
extending to five, and
from thirty to fifty-five
measures, with only one
extending to eight-five.
The level of difficulty
for the whole series is
intermediate, with some
at the easier end, and
others at the middle or
upper end.We don’t
know if they were
intended to test students
trying to enter the harp
class, or if they were
used to test students in
the class as they played
their exams. The fact
that they were never
published means that
students had to not only
sight read them, but
sight read them in
manuscript form!I worked
from digital images of
the original manuscripts,
which are in the private
music library of a
harpist in France. She
had twenty-seven of these
pieces, and this edition
is the second in a series
of three that will
publish, for the first
time, all of the ones
that I have found thus
far. The manuscripts
themselves consist of
little more than notes on
the page: no pedals
written in, no
fingerings, few if any
musical nuances and tempo
markings, and no clear
indication as to which
hand plays which notes.
These would have been
difficult to sight read
indeed! My collaborator
Catherine Michel and I
added musical nuances,
fingerings, pedals and
pedal diagrams, and tempo
indications to put them
into their current
condition.At the time
these were written,
Tournier would have been
in his twenties, having
just graduated from the
harp class himself
(1899), and might still
have been in the
composition class. These
are the earliest known
pieces that he wrote, and
they were written at the
very beginning of a
cultural revolution and
upheaval in Paris that
was to completely and
profoundly alter musical
composition. Tournier
himself would eventually
be caught up in this new
way of composing. But not
yet.All of the
déchiffrages are
written in the late
romantic style that was
being taught at that time
at the Paris
Conservatory. Each one is
built on a clear musical
idea, and the variety
over the whole series
makes them wonderful to
listen to as well as to
learn. They are also
great technical lessons
for intermediate level
players.The obvious
question is: Why
didn’t Tournier
publish these pieces, and
why didn’t he list
them on his own inventory
of his music? Actually,
four of them were
published, with small
changes, as his
collection Four Preludes,
Op. 16. These came from
the ones that will be in
volume three of this
series from Carl Fischer.
His first large piece,
Theme and Variations, was
published in 1908, and
his two best known and
frequently played pieces,
Féerie and Au Matin,
followed in 1912 and 1913
respectively. We can only
speculate because there
is so much still unknown
about Tournier and about
these unpublished pieces.
He may have looked at
them, fresh out of school
as he was, as simply a
way to make some quick
money. The first several
pieces that he did
publish are much longer
than any of the
déchiffrages. So it
could be that, because of
their shorter length, as
well as the earlier
musical style that he was
moving away from, he
chose not to publish any
more of them. We may
never know the full
story. But all these
years later, more than a
century after they were
composed, we can listen
to them for their own
merits, and not measured
against whatever else was
going on at the time. The
numbers on these pieces
are the ones that
Tournier assigned to
them, and the gaps
between some of the
numbers suggest that
there are perhaps thirty
or more of these pieces
still to be found, if
they still exist. They
will, in all likelihood,
be found, as these were,
in private collections of
harp music, not in
institutional libraries.
We can only hope that
more of them will be
located in years to
come.—Carl
SwansonGlossary of French
Musical TermsTournier was
very precise about how he
wanted his pieces played,
and carefully
communicated this with
many musical indications.
He used standard Italian
words, but also used
French words and phrases,
and occasionally mixed
both together. It is
extremely important to
observe and understand
everything that he put on
the page.Here is a list
of the French words and
phrases found in the
pieces in this edition,

inches. Ludwig van
Beethoven composed this
small series of
variations without opus
number (now cataloged as
WoO 64) in the years
between 1790 and 1792,
shortly before his moving
from Bonn to Vienna, when
he was still working for
the von Breuning family
and taking lessons from
Christian Gottlob Neefe.
The manuscript of this
composition is unusually
clean and without errors
and does not show the
indication for harp,
which instead appears in
the first print,
published in Bonn in 1798
by Simrock. It is not
known exactly if their
destination for the harp
was in Beethoven’s
intentions from the
beginning or if it was an
initiative of the
publisher that he
eventually
approved. These
Variations are based on
the theme of the Swiss
song Es hätt
‘and’ Buur e
‘Töchterli,
attested in the
collections of popular
songs since 1781, which
tells the story of a
pastoral love between the
young Dursli and
Babeli.

9790215326798. 9 x 12
inches. The study
of Johann Sebastian
Bach’s
compositions on the harp
has a long history. The
first who understood its
importance for
educational purposes was
Robert Nicolas Charles
Bochsa, who inserted some
fugues of Bach and
Haendel in his monumental
method for the harp op.
60, accompanied by
detailed fingerings.
However, it was from the
beginning of the 20th
Century that the great
harp teachers began to
work extensively on
Bach’s repertoire.
Among the most
illustrious examples we
can mention Henriette
Renié, who published
two volumes of
transcriptions, one
containing ten preludes
and one ten short pieces,
Alfred Kastner who worked
on the Two–part
Inventions, Marcel
Grandjany with his famous
studies based on partitas
and sonatas for solo
violin, or Annie Louis
David, who published two
important volumes of
preludes and fugues taken
from The Well-Tempered
Clavier, not to
mention all those who
transcribed just a single
piece for concert
purpose. As is known,
the Notebook for Anna
Magdalena
(Notenbüchlein
für Anna Magdalena
Bach), consists of
two small manuscript
volumes, the first
compiled in Köthen in
1722 and the second in
Leipzig three years
later. The first contains
only compositions by
Johann Sebastian, while
the second also includes
pieces by other authors
such as Couperin, Hasse
and Carl Philipp Emanuel
Bach. The idea of
​​collectin
g in a volume some of the
simplest compositions
contained in the Notebook
was born mainly from the
desire to introduce even
the youngest students to
Bach’s music, in
an easy and progressive
way, so as to start as
soon as possible at make
them familiar with
polyphonic writing and
the use of
embellishments,
introduced here in a
simplified version. $14.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

Fittler. Ottavio
Bariola was a famous
Milanese organist in the
late 16th century. Only a
relatively small number
of his works is known to
survive, among them a
collection of ricercares
and canzonas. The present
edition offers a
selection of ten pieces
of the latter collection.
In agreement with their
genre the compositions
are strictly polyphonic
in structure. In this
edition the works are
included in a four-part
setting with consistent
part-writing. Due to
their volume and grade of
difficulty the pieces are
not meant for concert
hall performance in the
first place but for
enriching the repertoire
of church organists and
lovers of early
music. $11.95 - Voir plus => Acheter | | |
