György Orbán (born 1947) is among the most frequently performed contemporary Hungarian composers. His style incorporates a characteristic mix of classical, modern, cinematic, and jazz elements. In addition, he claims he ''loves splashing about in tonality,'' which makes his works accessible to the wider public. Owing to his humor and imagination, he finds an easy path to children, as demonstrated by the popularity of his piano works specifically intended for beginners. He composed close to 70 short children s pieces for Ãgnes Lakos s four-volume Friendly Piano Tutor (Z. 14749-14756), later published separately as Enchanted Forest (Z. 14742). The New Bell includes 19 piano piecesfor beginners among others, we encounter a baby elephant now and again (perhaps paying a visit from Debussy s Children s Corner?) and we hear the awful clamor of a most outgoing granny s alarm clock as well as the solemn tolling of a new church-bell. The pieces are arranged in order of difficulty and even include a few items for three hands which may be played by a pupil with the teacher or another student. György Orbán (geb. 1947) ist einer der meistgespielten zeitgenössischen ungarischen Komponisten. In seinem Stil vermischen sich auf charakteristische Weise Elemente der klassischen, zeitgenössischen, Film- und Jazzmusik. Daneben ''plantscht er in der Tonalität'' nach eigener Aussage, so dass seine Werke für ein großes Publikum zugänglich sind. Dank ihres Humors und ihrer Fantasie finden sie auch bei Kindern leichten Zugang: Das beweist die Popularität der ausdrücklich für AnfängerInnen komponierten Klavierwerke. Für die vierbändige Freundliche Klavierschule von Ãgnes Lakos (EMBZ14749-14756) komponierte er fast siebzig kleine Klavierstücke, die später unter dem Titel Der Zauberwald (EMBZ14742) auch eigenständig erschienen.
Die neue Glocke enthält 19 neue Stücke für KlavieranfängerInnen: Unter anderem taucht darin ein kleiner Elefant auf (vielleicht trappelte er aus Debussys Children´s Corner hierher?), man erfährt, wie schrecklich der Wecker von der Oma in Partystimmung klingelt - und natürlich auch, wie würdevoll die neue Glocke der Kirche läutet. Die Stücke folgen einander in der Reihenfolge ihrer Schwierigkeit. Unter ihnen sind auch einige Stücke zu drei Händen zu finden, die mit der Lehrkraft oder einer anderen Schülerin bzw. einem anderen Schüler zusammen vorgetragen werden können.

Shchedrin, son of a composer and music teacher, underwent a thorough musical training in Moscow. His versatility and dazzling competence across a wide variety of musical genres are surely a result of his studies. The composer is also an exceptional pianist and frequently performs his own piano works (concertos, sonatas, 24 preludes and fugues, etc.) on the concert platform. While employing a variety of modern compositional techniques he has, nevertheless, succeeded in uniting traditional and contemporary forms. His work is suffused with his love for Russian folkmusic, poetry and literature, yet it is not just relevant in his homeland but speaks to a wider audience. His more recent works too, are characterized by this fusion of a deep Slavic sensitivity with outstanding virtuosity.

Germaine Tailleferre first met Charlie Chaplin when she was living in New York City with her first husband Ralph Barton. Tailleferre and Chaplin spent a great deal of time improvising at the piano and Tailleferre convinced him to write his own themes for the music he used in his films. After her divorce from Ralph Barton, she did not see Chaplin until the early 1950s during a visit he made to Paris. At that time, she wrote this attractive waltz in Chaplin’s own style to give to him as a gift.

SKU: HL.14033619
This overture is the opening of the 146th Church Cantata. It is scored for full string orchestra with organ obbligato and is the original form of the first movement of the later and better known Piano Concerto in D minor. In its early form this work lends itself more readily to a modern piano adaptation than in the later Concerto form. Wir mussen durch viel trubsal in das reich Gottes eingehen.

Kazimierz Serocki's Sonatina for piano is presented for the first time in print. Composed in 1949, it received an honorable mention at the 2 Fryderyk Chopin Composers' Competition organized by the polish Composers' Union.This three-movement composition, a sonically interesting showpiece, combines folkloric elements with modern musical language. Bold harmonizations, elements of polyphony, especially in the second movement allude to the ideas of Sergei Prokofiev and Bela Bartok. The compositions is the first of Serocki's works to attest to his interest in the folkloric trend, wich continued in his later oeuvre.

During the middle of the 1950s, Tailleferre explored more popular musical styles in a series of works, including her Opéra-minute Un Rouille à l’arsenic », a number of songs written with Claude Marcy and her musical comedy « Parfums ». This slow is from that period and is very influenced by a Jazz piano style, perhaps by her friend Jean Wiener.
