Grammy-winning composer Stephen Hartke is widely recognized as one of the leading voices of his generation whose work has been hailed for both its singularity of voice and the inclusive breadth of its inspiration.

Par . This volume from the series Music from Chopin's Land includes three (differing in terms of form and style) works by Polish composers for a piano duo. These compositions, dedicated for students aged 14-16 and amateur pianists, shall help acquaint them with the issues of a piano duo and the charm of four-hand piano playing. Four-hand piano playing poses an exceptional challenge. It develops a wide concept of sound diversification, control over hands and their technique, and a unique ability to unify articulation of both pianists. The pianists, while listening to their individual play and concentrating on the play of their partners, become enriched with special sensitivity to the sound quality. A piano duo teaches sensitivity to the other person and mutual responsibility for the preparation and performance of the work. This constitutes the biggest challenge to chamber music, bringing remarkable satisfaction and joy out of mutual music making. / Date parution : 2023-11-03/ Recueil / Piano 4 Mains

Works include 'Scherzo In C Sharp Minor' two movements from 'Memories Of Childhood' and 'Hopak'. Edited by Pavel Lamm.

BWV997-The purpose of the series if Bach was a cellist is to live the fantasy that everything Bach wrote he wrote for the cello. It may also serve as a way for cellists to get close to Bach through works other than the six solo suites and the three gamba sonatas.I first came across the Partita by Johann Sebastian Bach in a version for flute and strings beautifully recorded by Kurt Redel. Since my early teens it has been on my list of special pieces.The four movements show extraordinary variation. In the hands of Bach the key of C minor becomes particularly powerful of limitless weight sometimes even stern. Is there an opening of a movement from the baroqueera which compares with power of the first movement here? It is a magni-ficent example of musical temperament.Three 18th century manuscripts survive. One found among the papers of C.Ph.E.Bach and two by Johann Philipp Kirnberger a student of J.S.Bach. All three are in the form of a keyboard sonata. Because of the choice of register however one may ask whether they are in turn arrangements of an original composition for solo flute or solo violin. The Double is very pianistic and may therefore have been added later. For all movements except the Fugue I have supplied a piano part for the right hand.
