The 3 Impromptus by Richard Lane are excellent examples of a composer in full possession of his craft, an accomplished musician capable of writing beautiful music at any level of difficulty. Lane composed Impromptu I (no specified dedicatee but most likely written for one of his students) in December 1972 at the age of 39. The Impromptu II is dated June 1977 and was written for Eric Neumann who writes: [...] This Impromptu II written for me was a graduation present. I had studied with Richard Lane for three years, starting with composition. After my piano teacher retired, “Dick agreed to teach me piano to prepare for college auditions. With his support, I was accepted at the Eastman School of Music, his alma mater. The work was written as his impression of my finger dexterity in the fast sections and my contemplative spirit in the slower section. The Impromptu III was written 9 years later (Oct. 1986) and is dedicated to Dahwei Kuo, most certainly also a Richard Lane student. A light, elegant piece with an impish sense of humor and some technical challenges thrown in for good measure. The numerous unpublished piano works (including those for 2 pianos or 4 hands) by Richard Lane, composer and pianist, are all marvelous gems to be discovered as we proceed with the exclusive Editions Bim publications planned for the coming years. Pianists interested in these publications can sign up for email information regarding new releases or periodically checking our website: www.editions-bim.com.

La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables » du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.L’implication créative de Schubert dans l’écriture du lied l’entraîne à interagir avec d’autres formes compositionnelles. C’est dans cet esprit qu’il faut apercevoir l’apparition de pièces courtes pour piano comme les Impromptus, Kavierstücke, Moments musicaux. Du point de vue historique, Schubert n’est pas le premier à composer sur ce genre mais il lui donnera ses premières plus belles pages.Les six moments musicaux de Schubert sont des pièces brèves pour piano dont l’interprétation requiert approximativement un peu moins de trente minutes. L’élaboration de ses pièces renferme de nombreux points énigmatiques, mais on sait que leurs créations s’échelonnent entre 1823 – date de la parution de « l’allegro moderato » – et 1827 – date de l’édition de ces six moments musicaux.Cette œuvre est constituée de : Moderato n°1 en ut mineur, Andantino n°2 en fa mineur, Allegro moderato n°3 en fa mineur, Moderato n°4 en ut dièse mineur, Allegro Vivace n°5 en fa mineur, Plainte d’un troubadour n°6 en la bémol majeur. Ce dernier a été également publié séparément en 1824.L’allegro moderato appelé communément « l’air russe » est la plus célèbre des six petites pièces. Malgré le fait que son plan soit assez distinct et formel, sa conception ne respecte plus une architecture rigoureuse, ce qui contribue à laisser libre arbitre à l’imagination harmonique et mélodique du musicien. Cette petite pièce est chargée d’exprimer des moments psychologiques par l’alternance d’instants vifs et rythmés très contrastés qui oblige finalement une souplesse formelle.Schubert invite les pianistes à partager cet instant musical par une grande concentration psychologique à travers un décor atmosphérique continuellement en mouvement.

Liebermann was commissioned by the Stecher and Horowitz Foundation for an exam piece to be played by each contestant at the Eighth New York International Piano Competition, which took place in June, 2016 at the Manhattan School of Music in New York. The First Prize Winner, Aristo Sham, also won the award for Best Performance of Commissioned Work, so it fell to him to give the first public performance of the work. Mr. Liebermann, a fine pianist himself, writes some of the most idiomatic piano music today, so any contestant would be delighted to be assigned the Two Impromptus as a 'test piece.' (Rorianne Schrade, New York Concert Review).

Chopin's Waltzes aroused controversy. They gained their peak in popularity through being treated by many as masterpieces, and held by others to be dangerous for salons. They are included (next to the nocturnes and the impromptus) in his feminine vein of creativity. Volume XI contains 8 of Chpoins Waltzes. There are variations to be found in the written text. The variations marked ossia were marked in this way by Chopin himself or written in his hand into his students copies; variations without this definition are derived from the context of the text in original versions or from inability to gain a singular interpretation of the text. The original titles of the Waltzes given in the music are given according to autographs. In first editions, where describing words, such as grande, brillante, nouvelle are probably freely added by publishers, in the opinions of the editors of WN.
