After completing his studies with Zoltan Kodaly, the Hungarian composer Mathias Seiber (1905-1960) first worked as a musician in a dance orchestra on an ocean liner which gave him the opportunity to listen to jazz music in New York. From 1928 he taught the first jazz class worldwide at Dr. Koch's Conservatoire in Frankfurt. In the winter term of 1928/29, 19 students had registered with whom he gave a public concert on 3 March 1929 which was broadcast by Radio Frankfurt. After the Nazis had seized power, the jazz class was dissolved, Seiber lost his job and emigrated to London.In 1932 he wrote his piano cycle 'Leichte Tanze' (Easy Dances), one of the early examples of the adoption of jazz forms and styles in so-called serious music. The present arrangement for orchestra is easily playable and is aimed at youth and amateur orchestras. Instrumentation: 2 flutes, clarinet, oboe (ad lib.), alto saxophone, trumpet, bassoon and strings. Movements: Cake Walk - Novelty Foxtrot - Gipsy Tango - Waltz - Walzer - Blues - Charleston.

Chamber music by Jean Sibelius - a welcome addition to the chamber music repertoire for strings with piano.
ISBN 9790004803233. 9 x 12 inches.
This volume presents partly less known, but undoubtedly interesting and highly welcome additions to the chamber music repertoire for violinists and cellists in the reliable Urtext of the Complete Edition. The violin was Sibelius's instrument. He was active as a violinist mainly during his studies at the Helsinki Music Institute from 1885-1889 and for a short time thereafter. The present volume contains Jean Sibelius's opus-numbered works for violin or cello and piano, 36 compositions in total. Most of the works of this volume were created at the beginning of the 20th century and remained unpublished until the early 1920s. Sibelius composed far less music for the cello than for the violin. Malinconia (Op. 20), published in 1911, remained his only opus-numbered work exclusively for cello and piano. This volume also includes Two Pieces (Op. 77) and Four Pieces (Op. 78) as versions for violin with piano and for cello with piano.Chamber music by Jean Sibelius - a welcome addition to the chamber music repertoire for strings with piano.

This new book from De Haske helps fill the need for melodic unaccompanied solos for the tuba. It contains 16 wonderful concert studies that develop sound and technique while providing a rich environment for the study of style. The accompanying demo CD, performed by Patrick Sheridan, gives you an idea of how it should be done. This book is a must for all developing tuba players. Eindelijk is er een studieboek met muziek in een verscheidenheid van stijlen - speciaal geschreven voor tubaspelers door moderne componisten, onder wie André Waignein, Thomas Doss, Ferrer Ferran, Philip Sparke en Roland Kernen. Dezeconcertetudes zijn bedoeld voor het ontwikkelen van de klank en techniek, met oog voor de kwaliteit van de muzikale inhoud binnen een scala van stijlen.De wereldberoemde tubasolist Patrick Sheridan heeft de stukken op de bijgevoegdecd voorgespeeld.Nun gibt es endlich ein Buch voll Konzertetüden mit Musik in einer Vielzahl von Stilen, von modernen Komponisten speziell für die Tuba geschrieben! Dieses Buch enthält sechzehn groÃ?artige Konzertetüden zur Entwicklung von Ton und Technik und ist darüber hinaus reich an Material für Stilstudien. Auf der Demo-CD ist eine Interpretation der Studien von Patrick Sheridan zu hören. Die Bass-Stimme in B wurde in der für das Instrument optimalen Transposition geschrieben. Das bedeutet jedoch, dass die CD nur als Hörbeispiel verwendet werden kann, Mittspielen zur CD ist nicht möglich.Pendant longtemps, les tubistes nâ??ont eu quâ??un choix limité de recueils dâ??études leur permettant de travailler le son et la technique. Certes, les précédents recueils constituent un excellent moyen de développer ces deux éléments, mais la qualité du contenu musical de certaines études fait défaut et ce quel que soit le style et en dépit de lâ??intérêt quâ??elles présentent en tant quâ??approche des différentes tonalités et intervalles spécifiques. Câ??est donc avec joie que nous accueillons enfin un recueil dâ??études de concert de styles variés, écrites spécialement pour le tuba par de talentueux compositeurs dâ??aujourdâ??hui.Approfondite le tecniche più avanzate richeste ai suonatori di tuba per essere dei veri solisti all'interno di un gruppo da camera come di una grande orchestra. Intervalli, intonazione e fraseggio sono gli elementi più ricorrenti nelle pagine di questa raccolta di studi. Il CD propone la demo di ogni brano.
