These volumes (Z. 14625 and Z. 14640) from János Bali are special publications. Apart from being collections of 16th-century pieces playable at concerts or any other kind of musical occasion, they also serve as basic material for today s increasingly popular Renaissance dance halls, or balls: the pieces they contain are grouped according to the various types of dance, and supplemented by a description of the most important dance steps, and formulas of ornamentation providing patterns and ideas for use in performance. An ensemble of different-sized recorders/strings is one of the most typical instrumental combinations of the Renaissance, and can successfully evoke the authenticsound and performance practice of the period.

Diese Bände (Z. 14625 und Z. 14640) von János Bali stellen eine besondere Ausgabe dar. Abgesehen davon, dass sich die Sammlungen der Stücke aus dem 16. Jh. bei jedem Konzert oder ähnlichen musikalischen Ereignissen spielen lassen, können sie auch als Grundlage der heutzutage immer öfter veranstalteten Renaissancebälle und Tanzkreise dienen: Die Stücke werden nach Tanztyp sortiert und durch eine Beschreibung der wichtigsten Tanzschritte - bzw. mit den der Aufführung Ideen vermittelnden Muster für die Verzierungsformeln ergänzt - präsentiert. Das Ensemble aus verschieden großen Blockflöten/Streichern ist eine der typischsten Renaissancebesetzungen, die erfolgreich der authentischenWiedergabe des damaligen Klanges und Aufführungspraxis dienen kann.

Il presente metodo intende analizzare ed affrontare i problemi fondamentali della tecnica clavicembalistica. Poiché lo studio del clavicembalo viene frequentemente affrontato dopo un periodo di formazione pianistica o organistica, lo studioso si trova di fronte a vari inconvenienti tecnici; la tecnica pianistico-organistica, infatti, non è adatta alla meccanica a corde pizzicate: il clavicembalo è uno strumento diverso ed autonomo, con sue proprie caratteristiche organologiche ed una sua tecnica specifica. Un approccio tecnico errato ha conseguenze fatali sulla qualità del suono e sulla possibilità di modellarlo ed asservirlo alle esigenze interpretative, e produce sgradevoli rumori meccanici. Nei casi peggiori crea problemi tecnici tali da rendere faticosa, se non impossibile, un’esecuzione perlomeno corretta, e la meccanica dello strumento può subire dei danni. È perciò di vitale importanza un lavoro di adeguamento o di ricostruzione della tecnica.
I principi esposti in questo Metodo sono applicabili, con pochissime modifiche, anche al clavicordo e al fortepiano. Lo studioso vi troverà, in ordine crescente di complessità: degli esercizi di tecnica ‘pura’, pensati per isolare chiaramente il movimento da apprendere; dei piccoli frammenti – évolutions le avrebbe chiamate François Couperin – nei quali il movimento in esame è inserito in un contesto più musicale; degli studi dal meccanismo più complesso. Si è rinunciato a cominciare dal livello elementare, già affrontato da altri metodi, in favore di un maggiore approfondimento di quello intermedio. Il materiale è tratto o adattato dal repertorio, e in alcuni casi composto dall'autore. Tranne che nel caso delle scale, si è coscientemente evitato riferimenti alla trattatistica: nelle fonti storiche le istruzioni tecniche sono piuttosto generiche, mentre scopo del presente lavoro è ‘prendere per mano’ lo studioso ed aiutarlo gradualmente a costruire (o a perfezionare) la gestualità di base indispensabile alla buona esecuzione clavicembalistica.
La sezione dedicata all’interpretazion e è volutamente ridotta: un’analisi approfondita di tutti i problemi stilistici ed espressivi, posto che riuscisse ad essere esaustiva, richiederebbe un poderosissimo volume a parte. Lo scritto tende sempre a trasformarsi in dogma, in arida regola che non può prevedere tutte le infinite variabili che si danno nel fluire del discorso musicale: la musica si fa, e solo in parte si può spiegare. Si è preferito perciò limitarsi ad alcuni ‘consigli’, indicazioni generiche di partenza, che possono e devono essere superate, nella convinzione che l’esperienza personale e il lavoro diretto con l’insegnante siano di gran lunga più fecondi.

Balinese Pieces (1996-2003) is a set of three piano works influenced by gamelan music of Indonesia. This set includes Sepuluh Jari (ten fingers), Tentang Cara Gamelan (on the technique of gamelan), and Jangan Lupa (dont forget). Farr perfectly captures the exciting rhythms and beautiful sonorities of this gamelan music and combines it with sounds and textures reminiscent of French impressionism. His writing for piano in these pieces is virtuosic with fast melodic passages and complex rhythms. The three pieces can be performed together as a set or separately as stand-alone works. Balinese Pieces is sure to be a highlight in any professional piano recital programme.

This publication is designed to raise interest in contemporary music and create a personal relationship with unconventional forms ofmusic and music-making among the age group most receptive to these, that is, elementary school children. The pieces featured in it are in widely differing styles and by composers of different age groups and levels of recognition: Janos Bali, Adam Kondor, Gabor Kosa, Gyorgy Kurtag Jr., Csaba Lauran, Dora Petery, Vera Ronkos, Laszlo Sary, Andras Soos, Mate Szigeti and Peter Tornyai. Although 'creativity' plays a central role, this volume is not intended for training professional composers. It serves merely to encourage children to engage in the life-giving and pleasurable activities of listening to and forming sounds.

An ABRSM syllabus title, 2014-21, Grade 6. Although the recorder was a popular instrument in France at the beginning of the 18th century, relatively few original French pieces for recorder have survived. One reason for this is that the repertoire of the recorder players of that time was largely taken from the flute literature, the pieces being transposed a third higher because of the difference in pitch between the flute and the recorder. Six of the seven suites in this volume - works by Caix d.Hervelois, Dornel, Pierre Philidor, Hotteterre, Naudot and de la Barre - are indeed flute music transposed in accordance with the custom of the period, one suite, however, is an original work for recorder by Dieupart written for the B flat descant recorder and transposed for the C descant recorder in use today. In selecting the works our aim was to provide a stylistic panorama of the French music of the period, featuring the various types of suite.
