Par BERTINI HENRI. The Etudes op. 29 and op. 32 are among Bertini’s best-known and most influential tutorial works. For aspiring pianists there is much to discover: Pieces with interesting harmonies in keys with up to four sharps or flats display various musical characteristics using a range of different rhythms, articulation and dynamics. With teaching notes by editor Ruth Taneda. When Henri Jerôme Bertini, born in 1798 in Lyon, developed into a child prodigy who at the age of twelve was already performing in concerts in Paris and other major cities. Concert tours to the Netherlands and Rhineland region followed. After spending some time in England and Scotland, in 1821 he settled in Paris, where besides teaching piano he performed as a pianist at Parisian salons and went on extended concert tours of the provinces in the summer months. Bertini’s teaching activities through to 1848 inspired his ‘Méthode de Piano’ and a wealth of Etudes (op. 29 and 32, op. 66, op. 100 as well as a Nouvelle Collection d’Études in ten volumes varying in degrees of difficulty). In about 1848 Bertini stopped working as a pianist, composer and teacher, left Paris and retired to the Dauphiné in southeastern France. He died in Meylan near Grenoble on 30 September 1876./ Etude / Piano

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. / Piano 4 Mains

Ed. Critica F. Della Seta - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte ? softcover 2 volumi-I Puritani is the last work of Vincenzo Bellini: composed in nine months from April 1834 to January 1835 (a gestation unusually long for that time) was performed for the first time in Paris Théâtre Italien 24 January 1835. During this period the dramatic structure suffered radical transformations: initially structured in two acts the work was divided into three acts just before the premiere but on the eve of the first performance and immediately after that theexcessive length of the title imposed the cut of three pieces and other minor sections. Simultaneously with the release for Paris Bellini prepared a version designed for a planned exhibition for Naples at Teatro S. Carlo whose protagonist had to beMaria Malibran and in which the part of Riccardo had to be supported by a tenor. The exhibition did not take place as the score came late in Naples: the Neapolitan version was rediscovered and performed only in the eighties of the twentieth century.The new Critical Edition is based on the autograph on the libretto of the first performance and on four manuscript copies produced in the context of the Théâtre Italien in the first months of life of the work three of which contain autographinterventions (these sources are now kept at the Biblioteca Comunale in Palermo at the Museo Civico Belliniano in Catania at the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milano and at the Staatsbibliothek zur Preussischer Kulturbesitz in Berlin). This Edition presents for the first time all the music composed by Bellini it restores the sections deleted before or after the first performance in Paris and returns the modified sections of the Naples version; it consists of three-score volumes- introduced by a detailed reconstruction of the historical context - and of a ?Apparati? volume with a description of the Sources and the Critical Commentary to the musical text.

?No opus number? is what Johannes Brahms gave his astonished publisher to understand when he offered him the Hungarian Dances for publication in 1869. He placed a great deal of importance on the factthat he had merely ?set? popular Hungarian melodies and not composed new works as such. As true as this reservation is it did not affect the success of these works. The Hungarian Dances are today withouta doubt amongst Brahms? best-known compositions. Brahms himself made an arrangement of the dances 1 10 originally for Piano four hands for solo Piano. Henle are now publishing a revised version of theseimpressive pieces with the up-to-date text in the new Brahms Complete Edition. Rolf Koenen?s fingerings provide the best possible help for mastering these complex works.
