50 Easy Pieces from 5 Centuries. Par . For the Easy Concert Pieces series, the experienced piano teacher Monika Twelsiek compiled pleasant, easy piano pieces for beginners and published them in three volumes in progressive order. The three volumes are intended to complement a piano tutorial method and are particularly suitable for performance at auditions at music schools, for examinations and for competitions. They offer varied repertoire in a broad selection of pieces from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern eras. Volume 1 (ED 22547) can already be used by beginners, containing pieces in the five-note range and easy pieces spanning a single octave. Other criteria for selection are simple rhythms and very easy chords. Crossing the thumb underneath, playing several parts together and pedal use are not yet required. Volume 2 (ED 22548) contains pieces with an extended range of two octaves. Crossing the thumb under, pedal use, simple polyphony and three- or four-part chords all feature here, as do simple ornaments, cantabile playing and differentiating between melody and accompaniment. Volume 3 (ED 22549) is aimed at advanced players who wish to refine their expression and personal interpretation. The pieces demand a great deal of dexterity, a high sense of rhythm, articulation and phrasing, polyphonic playing (polyphony even in one hand) and tonal differentiation of the piano setting. / Niveau : Très facile / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Recueil / Piano

Of the many works Bartók composed on Hungarian and Romanian folk melodies between 1914 and 1918 these three piano pieces occupy a special place. Originally outlined for the collection 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs (Urtext edition HN 1404) the drafts were left untouched for the next twenty years. Not until 1941 when Boosey and Hawkes asked the composer to contribute to an anniversary album for the great pianist Ignaz Paderewski did Bartók now settled in the United States return to these long since notated piano pieces on the folk music of his homeland and thoroughly revise them. Unusually the first edition issued in 1942 did not include the folk music sources however they have ofcourse been reproduced in this Urtext edition based on the Bartók Complete Edition. Whatâ??s more Bartókâ??s own recording of the pieces has been analysed by editor László Somfai both in his preparation of the text and in Suggestions for Performance.

These three piano pieces entitled respectively For a Statesman For a Canary For a Rich Aunt are probably the best-known of all Berners' early works though usually more through their reputation than through the music.They were the first of his published music to be publicly performed - by Casella in March 1917 - and were first published in Italy as well as being used in a variety of contexts later. Although the pieces are dissonant theyuse extensions of a tonal musical language: at the climax of the first piece the music is suddenly given a key-signature of E flat minor and a short sequence form the last piece was used by Casella as an illustration in his bookon the evolution of the perfect cadence. They use the same kinds of ostinato effects and have a similarly extreme dynamic range.

Complementing the Impromptus and Moments musicaux, the Wiener Urtext Edition also presents a new edition of the three late piano pieces D 946. Careful study of Schubert's autographs has led to various retouchings in the musical text, in D 946/2 for instance to the supplementation of a bar. The edition offers a new approach to the issue of the second episode of D 946/1, deleted by Schubert in the autograph, but included in the posthumous first edition and meanwhile embraced in modern concert practice. The separate edition of these repertoire pieces that have enjoyed increasing popularity since the 1970s has been expanded to include the two piano piano pieces D 916B/C that have survived as fragments and have been completed by Robert D. Levin in close observance of Schubert's compositional principles. Like the three piano pieces D 946, both works originate from the context of the Impromptus and have survived in the composer's autograph sketches. Their inclusion in this volume completes the picture of Schubert's late keyboard output and provides new impulses for the pianistic concert repertoire. / Piano

This collection of Three Popular Pieces comprises beautiful arrangements of Bach's popular works for Piano Duet as arranged by Leonard Duck. The pieces included are: Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring Sheep May Safely Graze and Sleepers Wake.

Recently discovered among the composer's papers these three short pieces extend the idioms of the major works into the intimate world of the keyboard. The first piece is a study in sarabande rhythm; the second Molto lento a frosty evocation of Winter. A rousing Pezzo ostinato - a favourite form completes the collection. Performers of intermediate grade and beyond will relish the chance to play music by arguably our greatest composer who wrote sparingly yet discerningly for the piano.

Five Early Piano Pieces. Par EOTVOS PETER. Peter Eötvös completed his early neo-classical Hungarian piano pieces at the age of 17. Now published in one volume, they were created when he studied composition at the Budapest Music Academy between 1959 and 1961, shortly before taking up a scholarship to study conducting in Cologne. A highlight is the witty three-movement Hommage à Haydn in which he humorously satirizes the famous Sonata in D major, nightmare of many a piano student, among others./ Répertoire / Piano
