The 36 Fantasias For Keyboard

Fantasias and Selected Works. Par BYRD WILLIAM. William Byrd is one of the great English composers of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Today this creative Catholic at the Anglican court of Elisabeth I is known primarily for his masses, motets and madrigals. However, in addition to vocal music he also composed an impressive number of keyboard pieces that brook comparison in quality with those of his younger contemporaries Frescobaldi and Sweelinck. This edition contains a selection of his major works for keyboard instruments, some taken from such famous collections as the 'Fitzwilliam Virginal Book”, 'Parthenia” and 'My Ladye Nevells Booke”. In addition to five large-scale fantasias, including the monumental 'Fantasia in a”, there are smaller preludes and voluntaries and three contrapuntal hexachord settings. The Foreword offers a detailed overview and evaluation of the sources, brief descriptions of the pieces and valuable information on notation and performance practice./ Répertoire / Piano, Clavier ou Orgue

Les oeuvres de Mozart pour piano à quatre mains constituent le premier point fort de ce genre qui plus tard est réalisé uniquement par Franz Schubert. Les deux premières sonates de la période de Salzbourg qui sont particulièrement adaptés pour l'enseignement de la musique dans les écoles secondaires, sont opposés à trois compositions efficaces de sa période viennoise. Le présent volume contient aussi la sonate KV 19d dont l'authenticité n'est pas confirmée, ainsi que deux mouvements fragmentaires en date de ses dernières années de la vie de Mozart, KV 357. Robert D. Levin a terminé les fidèles à un style pour une utilisation pratique, en prenant les limites des claviers des pianos de Mozart et le style du compositeur en compte, à la différence que dans la première édition de ca. 1860. En annexe, il ya les deux fantasias KV 594 et 608 composée à l'origine pour orgue mécanique, adaptée dès les premiers arrangements pour piano à quatre mains publié quelques années après la mort de Mozart.Dans cette édition, le texte de la musique est publié sous la forme d'un score pour la première fois. / Piano 4 Mains Et Plus

Par PACHELBEL JOHANN. Pachelbel was one of the great organ masters of the generation before J. S. Bach. Unsurprisingly, interest in his music has remained constant and today he is widely considered one of the greatest and, indisputably, one of the most productive composers of all time. This new collection assembles a rich selection of the composer's organ works, including 72 chorale settings and 48 nonliturgical works, among them toccatas, fugues, preludes, ricercares and fantasias. Reprinted here from the authoritative Breitkopf and Hartel edition, edited by Max Seiffert, these venerable compositions will be welcomed by organists at every level of accomplishment. Today's keyboard artist shouldnote that many of these works do not require a pedal and can be played on the piano or harpsichord as well as the organ./ Répertoire / Orgue

Un choix généreux des ?uvres les plus connues, exécutées et enregistrées de Jean-Sebastian Bach pour le clavier. Ces 16 pièces, principalement préludes, fugues et fantaisies, sont reproduites dans un format très pratique pour l'étude, avec une impression très aérée et en caractères gras.

Mozart's works for Piano duet form the first highlight of this genre which later is only achieved by Franz Schubert. The two early sonatas from the Salzburg period which are particularly suited for music teaching in secondary schools are opposed to three effective compositions from his Viennese period. The present volume also contains the sonata KV 19d the authenticity of which is not confirmed as well as two fragmentary movements dated from Mozart's last years of life KV 357. Robert D. Levin has completed them true to style for practical use taking the limitations of the keyboards of the Mozart Pianos and the composer's personal style into account unlike as in the first edition of ca. 1860. In the appendix there are the two fantasias KV 594 and 608 originally composed for mechanical organ adapted from the earliest arrangements for piano duet published a few years after Mozart's death. In this edition the music text is published in the form of a score for the first time.
