This is an updated edition of Francis Poulenc's 1957 work Sonata For Flute And Piano, edited by Carl Schmidt. Featuring the full score and separate Clarinet part, this exclusive edition also includes a download card, giving you instant online access to demonstration and accompaniment tracks.After having begun a Sonata for Flute as early as 1952, questions arose over whether Poulenc would be able to complete this work on top of his various other compositions at the time. The piece was, thankfully, finally finished after being commissioned by Harold Spivacke, the Chief of the Music Division of the Library of Congress, for a festival in honour of Elizabeth Coolidge. The world premiere, at Poulenc's request, took place at the Strasbourg Music Festival, performed by renowned flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, while the American premiere took place in the Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress. This new edition includes an extensive introduction to the piece, a detailing of the different sources that were used, and the inherent difficulty of compiling such an edition as this, all in English, French and German. Furthermore, an in-depth discussion of the problems of authority, as well as a vast number of critical notes is included, giving a true sense of the care and attention that has gone into producing this new edition of Poulenc's Sonata For Flute And Piano. At all points, Schmidt has aimed to reproduce an authoritative and accurate score that is at once playable and a reflection of what Poulenc himself may have intended.What makes this edition of Sonata For Flute And Piano really special is the unique download card that provides exclusive online access to demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks. Professionally-recorded by renowned flautist Michael Cox and pianist Huw Watkins, the demonstration track allows you to hear exactly how the piece as a whole should sound, before the independent Piano-only track lets you take the place of the flautist in your very own performance. This is a unique opportunity for flautists to learn from an authoritative score, and play along to a special backing track, with a work that, since its premiere, has become one of the most frequently-performed and well-loved works in the Flute repertoire.For flautist fans of Francis Poulenc, lovers of Les Six, or just players with a proclivity for stunning music, this edition of Sonata For Flute And Piano has been a long-time coming, and now it's available in this unique edition with accompanying download card. / Flûte Et Piano

Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) was a prolific Czech composer writing many large scale works. The composer moved to Paris in 1923 where he began experimenting in a variety of composition styles. Sonatine for Trumpet and Piano was composed in 1957 and is adaptable to both the B flat and C Trumpet. Martinu himself was a violinist but he liked to experiment and the mid-1950s saw him move to Nice in France where he began writing Sonatas for wind and brass. Sonatine for Trumpet exemplifies the composer's influence of Stravinsky Debussy and jazz music. The piece is excitingly virtuosic in its use of flutter tonguing complex rhythms chromaticism and ensemble between the Trumpet and Piano. As a varied substantial work for the Trumpet repertoire Martinu's Sonatine is essential to the advanced trumpeter.

Prélude - Elévation - SolitudeLa très grande majorité des compositions d'Ivan Wyschnegradsky ont été écrites en micro-intervalles, du 1/3 au 1/12ème de ton. Son oeuvre comprend peu de pièces pour piano en demi-ton, la plus connue étant l'Etude sur le Carré magique sonore Op.40 (Ed. Belaïeff) qui avait fortement impressionné Olivier Messiaen *. Celui-ci l'avait même inscrite au programme du Concours International de Piano portant son nom en 1971 à Royan.Ces Trois pièces pour piano en demi-ton ont été réunies dans le même opus 38, bien que composées à différentes époques. En effet, les dates indiquées par le compositeur en fin de chacune des pièces (1957, 1964, 1959) représentent la dernière révision (ou remaniement , comme il aimait à l'exprimer) de l'oeuvre, souvent éloignée de la date originale de composition.J'ai eu le grand privilège de jouer et étudier nombre d'oeuvres d'Ivan Wyschnegradsky en sa présence et avec ses indications. Lors d'une séance de travail autour du Prélude Op.38, Ivan Wyschnegradsky m'a expliqué l'origine du leitmotiv qui apparaît quasiment dans toutes ses oeuvres. On le trouve ici aux mesures 30, 32 et 49 du Prélude. Ce motif en notes répétées, noté souvent accelerando et crescendo était pour lui une réminiscence d'un slogan scandé par les jeunes révolutionnaires en 1917 sous les mots Revoloutzia dans les rues de Petrograd (qui a retrouvé aujourd'hui son nom de Saint-Petersbourg).Il fallait l'entendre le déclamer avec son fort accent russe qui ne l'a jamais abandonné et la véhémence de son souvenir, si intense pour qu'il ressente la nécessité de l'inclure tout au long de sa vie, comme un sceau impérissable, dans chacune de ses oeuvres.Martine Joste* voir la lettre d'Olivier Messiaen dans le livre de Pascale Criton : Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Libération du son -Ecrits 1916-1979, Ed.

Jindrich Feld's Sonata for Flute and Piano is frequently performed by virtuoso flautists. Composed in 1957 the Sonata is elaborate and quirky and has been recorded by leading artists including Jeffrey Khaner and James Galway. Born in Prague Feld (1925-2007) studied Violin and Viola with his parents before studying at the Conservatory and Academy of Music of his native city. His compositions predominantly instrumental soon became popular being performed all over the world. As reflected in his Sonata for Flute and Piano Feld's style is deeply rooted in the Czech musicaltradition but he also integrated the main styles of 20th century Western music. The Sonata is made up of three movements 1. Giocoso (playful) 2. Grave (serious) and 3. Vivace (lively). Each movement of the Sonata presents different challenges from fast semiquaver flourishes to the lyrical top register of the Flute. This Feld piece is highly virtuosic yet an excellent and enjoyable performance for all advanced flautists.
