Richard Reed Parry's Heart And Breath Sextet for Piano Six-hands Violin Viola and Violoncello.Heart And Breath Sextet was commissioned by the 2011 MusicNOW Festival foryMusic.'This piece is based around the idea of using the widely varying internal rhythms of the performers? bodies as performance parameters. There is no actual tempo or meter built into the piece. The breathing ratesof the players are used in alternation with the individualperformers? heart rates to determine the pace at which all of the musical material is played. This requires that the performers generally play quietly and delicately so asto be able to hear their heartbeats adequately. This in combination with the natural variance between the different heart rates results in a kind of delicate musical ?pointillism?: starts and stops which are somewhat staggered parts which repeatedly line up and fall out of synch with each other different individuals? pulses rising and falling. The piece is never performed exactly the same way twice.In this piece the pianists wear stethoscopespositioned over their hearts so that each can follow his or her own heart rate. Two eighth notes (quavers) correspond to the two sounds of a single normal heartbeat and performers should match as closely as possible the staccatoand irregular rhythm they hear. The strings are instructed to ?play to breath?; the natural cycle of one inhalation and one exhalation or vice versa will determine the length of the bar (two quarter notes/crotchets) without anyattempt to make it metronomic. When one instrument is designated the leader their breath will determine the starts of phrases and the procession from one bar to the next cuing other parts if necessary.' - RichardReed Parry

Schmitz: Mini-Tango Heft 2 for Piano for six hands With These Minis, It Takes Three to Tango For a long time, there was a little gap in Manfred Schmitz?s ?mini? piano series (Mini Jazz, Mini Rock, Mini Tango). Now it?s been closed. The ?Mini Tango? now welcomes its six-hand book, which contains a mix of newly written pieces and highlights from the basic book for two and four hands, which were arranged and sometimes considerably expanded. As usual, Schmitz fashions each of the three parts as technically equal in value. Keeping six hands busy, the ?Mini Tango? now brings a new sound quality to group recitals organized by piano teachers.
