This volume contains contrasting works by Federico Ruiz spanning quite a large and rich period of his compositional output that goes from his early Micro-Suite (1971), to lilting, sweet and rhythmic Venezuelan waltzes passing by the mysterious, intimate, and intense Nocturno (1994) plus pieces originally composed for film, and theatre. Real eclecticism in styles, moods and atmospheres that show Ruiz??s talents and scope.The Nocturno is a deep, intriguing, substantial piece presenting a satisfying length which moves from different paths of the mind and the heart written in an abstract, chromatic idiom, that does not dissociate itself from the Venezuelan waltz and the joropo. One could perhaps say that there is a deconstruction of the latter. For the interpretation, the composer has suggested to me that it is allowed to have some flexibility in the tempo. Ruiz kindly dedicated it to me, and I have had the pleasure of performing it in many concerts.Although all highly expressive, the Three Venezuelan Waltzes present in this collection as well as the piece titled Aliseo, are works that are close to the colourful Venezuelan folk tradition. Federico Ruiz had given me two of them when we first met: ??Tu Presencia?? (1981) and ??Eloísa?? (1989) and then I attended a performance of the play ??Office Number One?? by Miguel Otero Silva with a fantastic actor, Elba Escobar in the role of Carmen Rosa and, I just fell in love and was very moved by the incidental music that I later discovered, by reading the programme, had been written by Federico Ruiz. Later that evening, I called him and asked to please make a piano score of the composition, so I could have the desired piece in my hands. That is how ??Carmen Rosa? waltz (1987) came to exist in a piano version.??Eloisa?? is another Venezuelan waltz with more jazzy harmonies where precision in the rhythm and elegant playing is also essential, as it is in most of his pieces.??Tu Presencia?? was dedicated to his mother, Margarita. It is written with the structure of the Venezuelan waltz, which consists of a nostalgic subject that leads to a faster, happier middle section where the typical graceful rhythm is given by the left-hand accompaniment figure of a dotted crotchet followed by a quaver and a crotchet.The craft and magic found in the five movements of the Micro-Suite is based on a dodecaphonic row by Ernst Krenek. They remind us of the idiom of the Second Viennese School. These real miniatures seem to tell short stories. The ??Preludio?? is full of humour. I imagine dancing figures given by the jumps all over the keyboard and extreme dynamics; the phrases give the impression of a conversation with many questions and answers. The ??Invención?? is a kaleidoscopic piece where the hands mirror each other. The ??Passacaglia?? is the longest movement, at just over a minute where the prime motif is repeated three times on the bass line. For its construction Federico Ruiz uses as well the retrograde and the retrograde inversion of the twelve-tone series. It must be played expressively with dynamic contrasts between pianissimo and louder events. The ??Scherzo?? has repetitive motifs of a minor third in both hands and the ??Final?? displays virtuosic passages for the pianist.Aliseo was originally written for the film ??Aire libre? (1995), by Luis Armando Roche. It contains elements of diverse types of Venezuelan joropo. In the film, the character of Aliseo Carvallo is played by the composer himself who performs this piece on a harpsichord to welcome scientists Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland one day at the turn of the 1800??s, as a sample of the new music from the South American land. It presents the refinement of the late European classical era in fusion with Venezuelan folk music.

With this Suite for guitar ?? whose main reference point is the baroque instrumental suite and its traditional dances ?? the interpreter takes a journey through various compositional styles (e.g. the use of microstructures, modality, atonality, harmony in fourths, whole-tone scales), in the form of a dance. Within the scope of this metacultural project, both performer and listener are presented with a musical juxtaposition where the baroque suite is always present as a historic reference. This project is aimed at an average level of guitar students where instrumental technique is equally as important as composition. In this respect, the Suite is useful in the areas of concert performance, in the teaching of instrumental technique and in compositional analysis.

Mikko Heinio's Mot natten (Towards night), three nocturnes and two interludes for cello and guitar was composed in 2018. This suite found its inspiration and name in Finnish poet Bo Carpelan's (1926-2011) posthumous poetry collection Mot natten (2013), though the movements are not tied to specific poems. The first nocturne, Obscuro ('twilight'), dominated by pizzicatos, is followed by a more dynamic interlude, Spasimo ('spasm'). The fragile second nocturne, Sospiro ('sigh'), is coloured by delicate micro-interval chords plucked on the guitar between the left hand and the nut. The interlude Passi ('steps') leads with taps on the sound box straight into the third nocturne, Battito ('beat'), the way having been paved by the heartbeat of strong guitar pizzicatos. The duration is c. 11'30''. The product includes one full score and separate parts for guitar and violoncello.

Three-movement suite for SATB saxophone quartet. The first movement simply spins out a five-note shape in an improvisatory fashion. The second movement attempts to offer a poignant introspection to the outside movements. The third movement is a microtonally compressed treatment of the original five-note shape of the first movement. Though completely notated, the ideas and development are conceived in an improvisatory fashion.

The Heil Sound PR20-SUT is a handheld cardioid dynamic microphone designed for articulate reproduction of vocals, speech, instruments, amplifier cabinets, and drums in studios, clubs, houses of worship, and live stage applications. Though sonically identical to the PR20, the PR20-SUT sports a stainless steel grille in place of the PR20's interchangeable silver, black, and gold grills. The dynamic microphone element features a composite magnet for increased strength and a cardioid polar pattern, which provides significant rear rejection and immunity to feedback. With a 145dB maximum SPL and a frequency response of 50Hz to 18kHz, it is well suited to a wide variety of sources. Plosives and wind noise are attenuated via the included foam windscreen. An on/off switch allows easy muting between announcements, bands, or sets. The balanced XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most microphone preamps, mixer inputs, portable PA systems, and audio interfaces. A mic clip and carrying bag are also included with the PR20-SUT.
