24 Pieces For Piano. Par WOLF PETER E.. Péter Wolf (a doctoral graduate of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest) has composed a number of large-scale compositions in recent years which have had success at the hands of distinguished performers: these include two piano concertos as well as concertos for oboe, clarinet, and violin. By entitling his newest set of pieces for piano Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, the composer was able to simultaneously indulge in wordplay based upon his surname and give a tip of the hat to German baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach. The work's likeness to Bach is not limited to its title - the manner in which a piece has been written in both major and minor keys for each tone of the chromatic scale is blatantly inspired by Bach. In the preface to this publication, Wolf offers the following insights: ''I think I managed to find expressive titles. The first piece, Epiclesis (a prayer for inspiration, patience, and support), was heard from above: I was able to work continuously and without inhibitions. The works could be born in every key, until the last one, the Epilogue, was completed. When I finally finished inscribing the pitches of Bach's name, I admit, a little shiver went through me.'' Of the character pieces, all were completely new with the exceptions of one being previously written and another whose theme Wolf borrowed from one of his own stage works. Wolf-temperiertes Klavier is recommended for advanced pianists who wish to push the boundaries between musical genres, as well as classical musicians interested in the harmonic language of jazz. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Piano

- Chopin : Trois Nouvelles Études. Nouvelle édition Urtext de Roy Howat au sein de la série « The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition » (rédacteur en chef John Rink)
- Édition critique faisant autorité basée sur l'autographe de Chopin. Celle-ci restaure le texte original de Chopin et corrige les notes importantes présentées de façon erronée dans les éditions précédentes.
- Comprend uniquement les doigtés authentiques de Chopin

La série « The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition » des éditions Peters est fermement établie comme l?édition scientifique actuelle la plus importante de la musique de Chopin et est un must pour tout pianiste averti. Les éditeurs de Chopin les plus éminents au monde, sous la direction de l?éditeur en chef John Rink, apportent leurs connaissances collectives inégalées pour donner au projet une autorité unique, en s'appuyant sur les recherches internationales les plus récentes. « The Complete Chopin » priorise les besoins du pianiste pratique et fournit un texte d'exécution magnifiquement présenté de chaque ?uvre, basé sur une source principale unique ainsi que des variantes de premier rang, ainsi que des commentaires critiques approfondis et une préface éclairante en anglais, français et allemand.

Edition Peters est maintenant ravi de présenter la nouvelle édition de Roy Howat des « Trois Nouvelles Études » de Chopin au sein de « The Complete Chopin ». Publiées à l'origine en 1840 dans la « Méthode des Méthodes » qui regroupait plusieurs compositeurs, les « Trois Nouvelles Études » sont les études les moins ouvertement virtuoses de Chopin, mais sans doute les plus sophistiquées de toutes en termes de formation de la sensibilité du pianiste au son, au rythme et à la texture. Debussy a dit un jour qu'il avait « usé ses doigts » en jouant la deuxième d'entre eux.
180 ans après, il semble extraordinaire que de nouveaux détails puissent encore être trouvés dans les pièces, mais l'édition de Howat en publie certains pour la première fois, notamment un certain nombre de variantes mélodiques dans la première Étude, ainsi que des notes dans la deuxième Étude que toutes les éditions précédentes avaient supprimées. Agissant littéralement comme un pivot dans la structure de la seconde Étude, ces notes authentiques ? restaurées ici avec sensibilité ? modifient notre perception de la texture et de l?harmonisation de la musique au moment où la pièce prend son envol sur l?une des cordes de modulation les plus époustouflantes de Chopin. Notre édition confirme également certains doigtés authentiques encore inconnus de la plupart des pianistes, comme le pouce fantaisiste qui « sautille » sur les touches noires à la fin de la troisième Étude.

Conformément à la procédure éditoriale de cette série, la présente édition est basée sur une source principale, à savoir le manuscrit de Chopin soigneusement préparé pour son ami Moscheles. De plus, certains changements que Chopin a introduits après la publication sont présentés ici comme des variantes, permettant aux pianistes de choisir des options de performance en connaissant sciemment leur origine.

Le concept de travail qui sous-tend la série « The Complete Chopin ? A New Critical Edition » :
« The Complete Chopin » est basé sur deux prémisses clés. Premièrement, il ne peut y avoir de version définitive des ?uvres de Chopin : les variantes font partie intégrante de la musique. Deuxièmement, effectuer une fusion de plusieurs sources ? produisant alors une version de la musique qui n'a jamais vraiment existé ? doit être évité. En conséquence, la procédure de travail des éditeurs consiste à identifier une seule source principale pour chaque ?uvre et à préparer une édition de cette source-là (qu?ils considèrent comme « la meilleure », même si elle ne peut être définitive). Dans le même temps, des variantes importantes provenant d'autres sources autorisées sont reproduites soit à côté soit, dans certains cas, dans le texte principal de la musique, dans les notes de bas de page ou dans le commentaire critique, permettant ainsi des comparaisons savantes et facilitant le choix de l'interprétation. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / EDITION PETERS

Terry Riley, most commonly associated with the minimalist and experimental schools of music, draws influence from a vast number of sources, including jazz and Indian classical music. In turn, his influence on contemporary composers and music in general is enormous, and with this collection of his Piano Works, you can learn a selection of his fascinating, hypnotic and simply stunning compositions for solo Piano.As one of the founders of western music's minimalist movement, Riley's works have been acclaimed as forays into ever-expanding loops of rhythm and melody, music that, instead of being listened to, immerses and envelops you. His early works, such as 'In C', spearheaded this innovative idea, beginning a career unmatched by other avant-garde composers. With The Piano Works, this collection of Terry Riley sheet music finally brings together some of his best-loved and most acclaimed works for solo Piano, like The Philosopher's Hand and Two Pieces For Piano.Featuring an extensive foreword by Terry Riley himself, this is not just a collection of sheet music, it's almost a work of art: a brilliant publication featuring some beautifully engraved music along with words by a genius composer. Riley gives a vast amount of fascinating biographical and compositional information about his included Piano Works, such as Keyboard Study #1 and #2, Be Kind To One Another (Rag) and The Heaven Ladder Book 7. At times humourous and always eloquent, his foreword tells the story of this composer's journey from humble Piano lessons to masterpieces and an unfathomable influence, it's just great. Finally, at the end of the book, a selection of facsimiles of Riley's own handwritten scores is included, letting you see what the music looks like from the man's own hand.As well as the foreword, there are introductory performance notes for each piece by pianist Sarah Cahill. These expound the techniques, skills and experience necessary to master each piece, but also simply provide some interesting reading before delving into the harmonic and rhythmic rabbit-hole that is Riley's Piano Works. Aside from the theoretical and academic joy that Terry Riley's music affords, the most immediate pleasure is the universal aesthetic beauty of the sounds that will emanate from your Piano as you play these wonderfully whirling and dynamic compositions.As a collection of sheet music, Terry Riley's Piano Works would make a wonderful addition to your music stand. As a book that will bring endless enjoyment to fans not just of Riley himself, but music in general, the foreword and performance notes combined with the magical music make a fantastic edition of a true master's masterpieces. / Piano

Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD, 'Good Morning Lilofee? (with four-piece combo), conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements: It is characterized by a free perception of the tunes, varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD, 'Dance On Deep Waters?, with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour, with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable and stimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere, whether or not they dig German folksongs. Familiar tunes such as 'Es freit der wilde Wassermann? or 'Die Gedanken sind frei? gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs, the pieces go far beyond them in form, harmony and rhythm, thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages, usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.All the pieces are recorded on the like-named CD with Edgar Knecht at the piano, accompanied by his trio of bass, drums and percussion.- Eight songs for piano- Appealing literature- Ad lib improvised partsContentsLilofee, Gedankenfreiheit (Freedom of Thought), Tiefe Wasser (Deep Waters), Nachttraum (Dream at Night), Fenjas Lullaby, Schwesterlein (Little Sister), Frühling (Spring), Wiegenlied (Cradle Song)The AuthorEdgar Knecht lives in Kassel (Germany), where he heads a piano school and tours with his combo. Since the age of 14 he has held concerts with his own piano pieces and written many theatre, film and TV scores. With his Edgar Knecht Trio he transforms German folksongs into fascinating jazz ballads with which he fills his programmes and venues. / Piano

Par DOBRZYNSKI IGNACY FELIKS. Ignacy Feliks Dobrzynski wrote eight nocturnes for piano. Five of them were published in 1833–1834 in two books as Opp. 21 and 24, while the remainder appeared in various occasional collections issued much later. The Nocturne in A major was written in 1846 and belongs to the group of works composed by Dobrzynski during his tour of German cities. That tour was designed to increase the composer’s popularity and boost his finances. Besides concerts and meetings promoting Dobrzynski’s music, the ‘marketing campaign’ also included the publication of his new salon miniatures in particular cities. This Nocturne appeared in print in Berlin as Op. 52, together with a short mazurka constituting a transcription of the earlier song ‘Gdzie lubi’ (‘A fickle maid’). The form of this piece is based on an A-B-A1 scheme typical of the genre, with a quite elaborate epilogue. In section A, the composer based the melody on a one-bar motif in mazurka rhythm, which he combined with a bass led in widely spread chords, often used in nocturnes. He thus obtained a specifically idyllic mood. The sonorities, the type of melody and texture and, above all, the ornaments that appear as the work progresses bring to mind the early work of Fryderyk Chopin. The chordal section B, of lively expression, in the key of F sharp minor and a uniform triple rhythm, triggers associations with the middle section of Chopin’s Nocturne in A flat major, Op. 32 No. 2. After a short bridge, the reprise comprises a reiteration of the opening part of section A, which then passes into the epilogue, in which the composer splices motifs from both contrasting sections. It is difficult to date the second Nocturne published here and to establish the circumstances surrounding its composition. It was published posthumously (in 1868, in Warsaw), in the Album Pamiatkowe IG.F. Dobrzynskiego (‘Souvenir album of I. F. Dobrzynski’), which also contained two mazurkas, two songs and an excerpt from his incidental music for the play Konrad Wallenrod arranged for four hands. These compositions were not previously published and probably come from private collections. The Nocturne carries a dedication to Miss Wanda Miecznikowska. Determining the principal key of this work is rather problematic, since it falls into two tonally and expressively contrasting sections, divided by a lengthy caesura. An agitated, emotional episode in F minor (in A-B-A1 form, section B in A flat major), ending with a distinct conclusion, is followed, rather unexpectedly, by completely new material in the key of F major; adhering to a slower tempo and of very restrained expression, it serves as a sort of post scriptum, a lengthy and calming musical commentary to the foregoing segment. One may even gain the impression that this Nocturne is essentially a diptych consisting of two separate ‘songs without words’. Judging by its style, which is close to the lyric writing of Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy or John Field, with elements of the style brillant, this work could have been written earlier than the Nocturne in A major. One may also discern here a certain melodic-rhythmic similarity to the above-mentioned Nocturne in A flat major by Chopin. Both these Dobrzynski mazurkas could make interesting additions to the repertoire of both professional pianists and more advanced amateurs interested in nineteenth-century salon music. They may also enrich the programmes of concerts and broadcasts, particularly those devoted to Polish music, and also be included on the curricula of secondary schools of music. The present edition was based on the first editions. The proposed fingering in both works and the pedalling in the Nocturne in A major are entirely the work of the editors; other editorial performance markings are given in brackets. / Répertoire / Piano
