Music Reader For Piano. Music School 6. Pieces. Vol.1. Ed. By N. Kopchevsky.

Bartók taught piano at the Music Academy in Budapest from 1907 to 1934. In his first years as a professor the Budapest music publishers Rozsnyai and Rózsavölgyi commissioned him to prepare so-called instructive editions (including suggestions, commentaries and fingerings for the performer) of several classics of the piano repertoire, altogether more than two thousand pages of music. Following Bach and Beethoven, Mozart was the third classical titan of whom Bartók ventured to undertake a performing edition necessary for music education and the sheet music trade in Hungary. Károly Rozsnyai entrusted the work to him. Bartók worked on revisions of the sonatas between 1910 and 1912, and in 1912 or 1913 the pieces were published in a single-volume version. The two-volume form was published later, perhaps during the years of inflation following the First World War, on poorer quality paper and with gray cover. Bartók's editing reflects contemporary ideas about performance, but is for the most part more detailed and elaborate than in other similar instructive editions at the turn of the century.
For the present edition we have corrected known printing errors by retouching the score, and we have deleted abbreviation letters referring to analysis of the form of the sonatas, which Bartók agreed to only at the explicit request of the publisher. We have added an English translation to the footnotes in Hungarian and German. The reader's attention is drawn to significant problems of authenticity and text in new editorial footnotes.
To the new edition we have added an afterword by László Somfai which details the circumstances of the first publication, Bartók's sources and his working methods. Bartók's Mozart concept is outlined in detail, and the author reveals the problems surrounding the composer's edition and the significant distortions in the musical text, and puts into a historical context the performance indications used by Bartók. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / EMB (Editio Musica Budapest)

The ''Music Reader'' has been conceived as a kind of music magazine for junior music schools. Its aim is to provide children with a valuable music material and the collecting together of works by various composers of different epochs in one volume will make it easier for a teacher to select a repertory which would have to be assembled from different not always available collections. In addition the Music Reader as its title suggests might provide useful material for sight-reading practice. All the pieces in the Music Reader have been checked against urtext editions or the most recent critical editions. The editing in itself has also been modernized in order to make the text as transparent as possible. The editor's performance directions regarding tempo dynamics articulation and so on have been placed in brackets in order to differentiate them from the composer's marks while added slurs are pecked. In this way both teacher and student will be able to distinguish the original marks from those added by the editor which - of course - are less binding.

Fifty years. 350 million readers in 75 countries. 2 600 newspapers in 21 languages. Four feature films and over 60 beloved TV specials. One cast of characters: Peanuts?. Lovingly rendered by the late Charles Schulz Peanuts is much more than a simple comic strip. Charlie Brown Linus Lucy and of course Snoopy have sneaked into our psyche and become international symbols of purity and happiness. Schulz created the characters but it was the music of Vince Guaraldi that gave them life. Pre-Peanuts Bay Area pianist and composer Guaraldi was best known for penning the standard ?Cast Your Fate to the Wind ? but his own fate would soon change; when producer LeeMendelson solicited him to score a documentary on Schulz and subsequent television specials Guaraldi's music became inextricably linked with Peanuts. Through the swinging beats of ?Linus & Lucy? on the soundtrack to A Boy Named Charlie Brown and the festive refrains on the holiday classic A Charlie Brown Christmas he and his trio introduced millions of people to jazz in the mid-'60s and far beyond. Now for the first time available with easy Piano arrangements this coffee-table quality songbook is a celebration of the art of Charles Schulz and the music of Vince Guaraldi. Within its stunning full-color high-gloss pages are: an introduction by veteran music journalist Hank Bordowitz which provides background on how the Schulz/Mendelson/Guaraldi collaboration came to be and reflections from fellow musicians influenced by Guaraldi's music; and Piano solo arrangements of 30 terrific tunes each featuring a Peanuts illustration by Schulz. The songs include: Baseball Theme Blue Charlie Brown The Christmas Song Christmas Time Is Here Frieda (With the Naturally Curly Hair) Great Pumpkin Waltz Happiness Theme Linus and Lucy Oh Good Grief The Pebble Beach Theme Peppermint Patty Red Baron Schroeder Skating and more. This book will be an absolute treasure for any Peanuts or jazz fan!
