Par BARTOK BELA. The editor has selected seventeen of the the forty-two pieces in the 1909 version of Béla Bartók?s seminal work, For Children, Volume One. These selections were chosen as a result of the editor?s teaching experiences with this music: pieces that are both pedagogically advantageous for the teacher, and the most enjoyed by students. Although Bartók?s intention was to write a set of pieces for young people, the charm and depth of these masterful works makes them equally appealing to students of all ages and levels. For Children has been played in concert and recorded by great pianists such as György Sándor, Zoltán Kocsis, Géza Anda, Menahem Pressler, and June de Toth. There is also a recording available on YouTube of Béla Bartók himself playing a selection of pieces from For Children in a 1945 radio broadcast. / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Recueil / Piano

?No opus number? is what Johannes Brahms gave his astonished publisher to understand when he offered him the Hungarian Dances for publication in 1869. He placed a great deal of importance on the factthat he had merely ?set? popular Hungarian melodies and not composed new works as such.

Brahms himself made an arrangement of the dances 1 10 originally for Piano four hands for solo Piano.

The Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach 1722 and 1725 for Piano (Premium Edition)
Hardcover Clothbound with Gold Embossing, Urtext
Johann Sebastian Bach
In 1721 a 20-year-old soprano employed at the princely court in Köthen married the court?s Kapellmeister, set to become the greatest composer of the age. As his second wife she married into a young family with four children, and a busy household filled with music. The music book that Johann Sebastian Bach presented to his new wife Anna Magdalena in 1722, and replaced more lavishly in 1725, treats us to a tantalizing glimpse inside this unique family, allowing us to sit beside Bach as a composer, teacher, husband and father. Over the years, these notebooks became a place for the family to share instructional exercises, favourite pieces ? by Bach and other composers ? to play or sing, early composition efforts from the children, and first versions of some of Bach?s more ambitious keyboard works.
What is usually presented as ?the? Anna Magdalena Notebook is a set of excerpts from the 1725 collection. The scholarship that informed the New Bach Edition in 1957 has been greatly developed and expanded since then.
Now, for the first time, Edition Peters presents a new Urtext edition of the Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach.
