Gregory Stone has transcribed these three selected preludes for one piano-four hands. For much of his life George Gershwin sought to integrate the worlds of jazz and classical music. These pieces are not jazz improvisations but they do show something of the style of his own playing. Gershwin had intended to compose a set of twelve a sort of jazz Wohltemperierte Clavier but his unexpected death from a brain tumour at the age of 38 prevented this. At least seven survive (others may have ended up as songs) and this set of three as published form a satisfying unit. The first opens with a blue-note riff which forms the basis of the first theme.Contrasting material follows making use of a distinctive repeated note figure then the first idea reappears in a quasi-orchestral climax. The second prelude shows a curious kinship with Chopin???s A minor Prelude with its eerie accompaniment and hypnotic melody. The third exploits a similar major/minor ambivalence but dextrous syncopation gives it driving rhythmic energy.

For 2 Pianos 4 Hands (a set of 2 scores for performance)-George Gershwin's iconic Rhapsody in Blue changed the landscape of American music at its 1924 premiere. Its irresistible fusion of classical and jazz has made it one of the most popular American concert works of all time. For this new edition all available sources at the Library of Congress were consulted including full scores for piano and orchestra as well as two-piano reductions. This edition includes a second copy of the music making it ideal for all concerto settings. Historical background and critical notes on the sources provide a fascinating window into Gershwin's composition process.

Par AURIC GEORGES. French composer, Georges Auric (1899-1983) was a member of Les Six. His compositional career was mainly distinguished by his film music.

Suitable for intermediate level pianists, Auric 's compositions tend to reflect the current music scene in Paris at the time.

orchestrated by Ferde Grofé edited by Ryan Raul Bañagale. Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. The names of George Gershwin (1898–1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896–1983) are synonymous across the globe with American musical creativity. The Gershwin family estates, their publishers, and the University of Michigan have joined forces to produce The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition—the first-ever scholarly edition of the Gershwins’ music and lyrics. This all-new practical edition facilitates both study and performance, giving a wide audience of musicians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike greater insight into the Gershwins’ art. The goal is to create clear and definitive publications that achieve the most accurate representations possible of the Gershwin brothers’ unique and pioneering creativity. This all-new critical edition of the original 1924 arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue presents an authoritative transcription of arranger Ferde Grofé’s handwritten holograph score preserved in the collection of the United States Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The edition represents as best as possible the piece as premiered by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra at his 'Experiment in Modern Music' concert on February 12, 1924. Grofé prepared the score for the specific talents and timbres of the Whiteman Orchestra, largely from an ink fair copy of Gershwin’s two-piano short-score manuscript. Gershwin continued to modify the piano solo portion of this short score during rehearsals and, most likely, even after the premiere of the piece. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Cette délicate musique fut composée pour un concert nautique donné sur la Tamise en juillet 1717.
L?idée vint du roi Georges 1er, grand amateur de musique, dont Haendel fut le principal compositeur.
Ensemble formé de trois suites respectivement en fa, en sol et en ré, cette ?uvre dépasse de loin tout ce qui avait déjà écrit dans le genre. Les suites en fa et en ré sont typiquement des musiques de plein air avec leur ton jubilatoire tandis que la suite intermédiaire en sol, très poétique, tranche par son caractère plus intimiste.
Avec ses mélodies franches et agréables, la « Water Music » demeure l?une des ?uvres la plus connue de Georg Friedrich Haendel. / Classique / Trasncriptions pour piano de Jean-François / Partition / Agrafé /
