Beethoven wrote 32 sonatas for piano. Volume 1, edited by Stewart Gordon, includes the first 8 sonatas (Op. 2, Nos. 1-3; Op. 7; Op. 10, Nos. 1-3; and Op. 13 [Pathtique]), written between 1795 and 1799. Since these autographs no longer exist, this edition is based on the first editions, published by various Viennese engravers. Dr. Gordon discusses a variety of topics including Beethoven's life; the pianos of his time and their limitations; Beethoven's use of articulation, ornamentation, tempo; and the age-old challenge of attempting to determine the definitive interpretation of Beethoven's music. Valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering suggestions and ornament realizations are offered in this comprehensive critical body of Beethoven's sonatas. Where performance options are open to interpretation, other editors' conclusions are noted, enabling students and teachers to make informed performance decisions.

Urtext (1932-1939). Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a "classical" piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from "Imitation and Inversion," "Ostinato," and "Free Variations," concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as "Notturno," "Boating," "From the Diary of a Fly," or the famous "Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm." Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók Complete Edition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

This new, completely revised and reset centenary edition of Satie?s complete piano music in three volumes has returned to Satie?s manuscripts and first editions to give pianists completely accurate and reliable texts to play from. As well as presenting every piece for piano solo or piano reduction that Satie published, this edition also includes some previously unknown pieces, like the Petite Sonate that he wrote for Vincent d?Indy at the Schola Cantorum, as well as some interesting first versions of well-known pieces, like San Bernardo, a trial version of Españaña (1913) and the markedly different first version of Les Pantins dansent (1914). In addition, there areexamples of the different types of exercises that Satie completed at the Schola between 1905 and 1912, some extra trial Enfantines, and some earlier drafts of his famous Sports et divertissements. To help pianists, suggested metronome marks have been added throughout, and there are also some performance suggestions for the Rose Croix pieces of the 1890s, which otherwise appear to be all quiet and slow. The notation has been made as user-friendly as possible, without detracting from Satie?s concerns about the ?extériorisation? of his musical thought in print.

En parlant de la danse classique on imagine toujours une fragile danseuse, raffinée, vêtue d?un tutu pailleté et de pointes satinées. Mais on oublie souvent (et à tort !) ceux, grâce à qui cette finesse et cette féminité sont mises en valeur : les garçons. Ce sont les partenaires incontournables lors des présentations scéniques : leur force durant les grands portés en Pas de deux et Grands adages rassure la jolie princesse tout en soulignant son image légère et vaporeuse ; la fiabilité de leurs appuis au moment des grandes pirouettes fait tourner la tête des spectateurs ; leurs envols en grands sauts déclenchent des tempêtes d?applaudissements ! Qu?ils soient souvent minoritaires en cours de danse classique, leur morphologie ainsi que les qualités techniques de leurs pas spécifiques doivent être mises en valeur et méritent une attention particulière. C?est pour cette raison que j?ai décidé de consacrer la grande partie de ce volume aux exercices pour les garçons, car, à mon sens, ces "perles rares" des classes de danse doivent être traités avec beaucoup de soin. Ils ont le droit à leurs propres exercices au milieu de la salle (pendant que les filles mettent leur pointes !), et avec la réponse adaptée par la qualité d?accompagnement : les schémas harmoniques les plus clairs sont là pour souligner la stabilité et la force d?appui ; le volume sonore et le diapason mélodique du morceau doivent correspondre aux amplitudes des mouvements et aux déplacements du danseur dans l?espace ; les tempos des morceaux s?adaptent aux niveaux et aux exigences techniques des exercices. Il est impossible d?imaginer les spectacles de danse sans variations : ce sont les moments très émouvants tant pour les danseurs que pour leurs spectateurs (et pour les professeurs aussi !). Ce sont en quelque sorte des résumés de performances techniques acquises durant l?année scolaire. J?ajoute à ce volume trois variations différentes (une pour garçons, deux pour filles : sur demi-pointes et sur pointes) afin d?assurer un choix optimal pour les professeurs de danse. Et à la fin de la prestation - les saluts et les révérences ! Les ports de bras accompagnent les inclinaisons du corps. L?intention de mouvements exprime la gratitude et la reconnaissance, et les regards des danseurs s?illuminent en dialogue avec leur public ! Le moment est venu de le remercier pour sa fidélité, son attention et son intérêt porté à cet art éternel !
