Chopin composed his ''Mazurkas'' continuously from 1825 to 1849. The half-utilitarian genre was a point of departure, gradually becoming a form of meditative lyricism - the most personal statement of expression. Chopin's''Mazurkas'' present a number of specific performance problems resulting from such causes as the diversity of individual mazurkas, their collection in opus groups byChopin and his drawing inspiration from dance forms of Polishfolk music. Volume No. 4 contains 43 mazurkas. Of the variants in musical notation, those designated ''ossia'' were marked in this way by Chopin himself or inscribed in his hand in pupils' copies, while those without thisindication result from textual divergences in authentic copies or from difficulties in reading the text in an unambiguous way. The miniature version of the National Edition does not contain source commentary or performance notes.

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.En janvier 1874, Grieg collabore avec le dramaturge Henrik Ibsen, lui offrant la composition de la musique d'accompagnement de sa pièce de théâtre Peer Gynt. Ayant besoin d'argent, il accepte ce travail qu'il mène avec peine, mais qui doit à son insu assurer une grande partie de sa gloire internationale. L'oeuvre est jouée sous les feux de la rampe à Oslo le 24 février 1876. Sur ses 23 numéros qu'il compose, il en choisit quatre en 1888, pour une première suite d'orchestre, et cinq en 1891 pour une seconde, mais la dernière pièce est vite abandonnée.La danse d'Anitra représente le quatrième de cette pièce. Elle est basée sur un Tempo de mazurka en la mineur à 3/4. Son histoire se déroule en Afrique du Nord. Le héros, Peer Gynt est pris pour un prophète. Il est invité par le roi et la belle Anitra danse pour le séduire.La composition est basée sur le modèle de la danse populaire appelée « Springar ». Envoûtante par son mouvement obsessionnel et raffiné, cette danse nous transporte dans un univers merveilleux, celui du conte de fées musicalement scandinave.Venez respirer le parfum exotique nordique d'une puissante séduction de Peer Gynt en interprétant ce passage célèbre.

For Low Female Voice And Ensemble. This cycle of settings of poems by Paul Celan was written between May and July 1990 for Ute Lemper. The texts are taken from the following collections: 'Chanson einer Dame im Schatten' and 'Corona' from Mohn und Gedachtnis (1952), 'Nachtlich geschurzt' from Von Schwelle zu Schwelle (1955), 'Blume' from Sprachgitter (1959), and 'Es war Erde in ihnen' and 'Psalm' from Die Niemandsrose of 1963. The settings of 'Corona' and 'Blume' both introduce an eight-bar chord sequence derived from Chopin's Mazurka in A minor, Op.17 No.4 (the introduction to which was used by Gorecki in his Symphony No.3).

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) was a pianist and composer of international stature and one of the towering figures of early 20th century music. He left behind an ouvre consisting of some 170 works, many of which await discovery or are known only in forms far removed from the composer's intentions. Sergei Rachmaninoff : Critical Edition of the Complete Works (RCW), a project issued by Russian Music Publishing, is the first complete edition of Rachmaninoff 's music prepared in accordance with scholarly criteria while meeting the demands of performers. It catalogues, explores, and annotates every available musical, literary, and iconographic source on Rachmaninoff 's music. The RCW is published under the scholarly auspices of Dr. Valentin Antipov. The editorial standards of the RCW satisfy the most discerning criteria and are safeguarded by an Editorial Board of internationally acknowledged authorities in Rachmaninoff scholarship. Alexandre Rachmaninoff (1933-2012), the composer's grandson, has been retained as a special advisor. The RCW is furthermore realized in close cooperation with the Glinka State Central Museum of Musical Culture, which houses one of the most extensive collections of Rachmaninoff autographs worldwide. All sources are consulted for the first time and all compositions are presented in their authentic form with all existing versions from the composer.

All of the Polonaises included in this volume were written during Chopin's childhood and youthful years, through to the earliest of the Polonaises prepared personally for printing by the composer (op. 22 and 26). This strict division into two groups has no correlation with other Chopin categories: Mazurkas or Waltzes not published by Chopin came into being during his entire period of creative activity at the same time as those he made for publication. Both groups of Polonaises complement each other in a particular way, together giving an understandable cross-section of the whole of Chopins creativity from Polonaise B WN1, being his first surviving compositional attempt for the Polonaise-Fantasy op.61, which belongs to the group of masterpieces crowning his last creative period. The collective publication of his Polonaises till now, which present them in the order of finding and publication gives, from this perspective, a totally chaotic impression. [from source commentary]. Includes Polonaises: in B flat major, G minor, A flat major, G sharp minor, D minor, F minor, B flat minor, G flat major.

Clara Schumann (1819-1896), then Clara Wieck, wrote this collection of six Soirées musicales in 1835-1836, when she 16 or 17 years old. Reflecting the influence of Mendelssohn and Chopin, each melodic piece shows her clear understanding of the formal and harmonic tendencies of those two master composers. Her later husband Robert Schumann would say of Clara's Soirées musicales as boasting a wealth of unconventional resources, an ability to entangle the secret, more deeply twisting threads and then to unravel them. Movements: 1. Toccatina, 2. Notturno, 3. Mazurka in G minor, 4. Ballade, 5. Mazurka in G major, 6. Polonaise.

The volumes in this new series contain duos, trios and quartets, their degree of difficulty ranging from easy through intermediate to advanced. Every piece is a transcription or an arrangement, since in editing the volumes our primary concern was to provide a collection of valuable and interesting compositions, as freely variable as possible as regards instrumentation, for music school students and also for adults who make music for their own pleasure. The range and pitch of the parts enable the works to be performed on any required or possible combination of the given instruments. The volume for advanced music students offers real treats (Chopin's Mazurka, Schumann'sTräumerei). The technical and musical difficulties do not exceed the level of a well-trained and experienced amateur musician, and the luxurious possibilities of variations in the arrangements for four parts for the various instrument families (strings, wind, percussion) offer collective music making for homogeneous or mixed ensembles. Special features are Anna's Polka by Johann Strauss Jr. and Joplin's Ragtime, which enrich the repertoire of chamber music with new colour.
