Reprint edited and newly commented by Wilhelm Ohmen.-Ignaz Moscheles' (1794-1870) Studien für das Pianoforte zur höheren Vollendung bereits ausgebildeter Klavierspieler bestehend aus 24 charakteristischen Tonstücken Op. 70 published in 1827 are among the best studies of that time covering the different idiomatic figurations for the Piano in every key mostly alternating between major and minor mode.With their imaginative piano setting their typical phrasing and expressive harmonic idioms the studies present themselves as the forerunners of the romantic character piece.The technically demanding figuration is mainly played by the right hand but often appears in short left-hand passages as well. Asthe title of the work implies these studies are meant for the advanced pianist although they are not as difficult as the études by Chopin Schumann or Liszt.

Intermediate-level arrangements of well-known Classical and Romantic works. Par AUTEURS DIVERS / BROOKER DAVID (Arr.). In his preface to 'Piano Trios on Stage”, the arranger, David Brooker, reminds us that, just as the string quartet, the piano trio has always been one of the pillars of chamber music. In the 19th and early 20th century, it was almost like the later invention of the gramophone record, allowing larger works, in arrangement, as well as lighter pieces to be presented to small audiences, often as background music. David comments that string players have plenty of easy material to introduce them to the pleasure of making music with other instrumentalists but when it comes to piano parts these are usually written or arranged with a teacher or more advanced student in mind. David sets out to rectify that imbalance and his arrangements aim to put all three players on an equal footing. Of easy to intermediate standard, they are ideal for violinists, cellists and pianists who are now ready to try their hand at proper chamber music. The music is fun and instantly recognizable, drawing on Grieg's 'Peer Gynt”, Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker” and Leopold Mozart's 'Musical Sleigh Ride”./ Recueil / Violon Ou Flûte, Violoncelle Et Piano

Composer Pierre Camus (1885-1948) is little known today. However his Chanson and Badinerie is a sublime addition to the Flute's repertoire and proves to be an exciting yet challenging piece for performers. Camus' piece for Flute and Piano accompaniment is in two movements. Chanson (Song) is composed in 6/8 meter and reflects French romantic characteristics in its use of lyrical melodies use of the lower register of the Flute and chromaticism. The Badinerie contrasts with this with a faster tempo 2/4 meter chordal Piano accompaniment and scalic semiquaver flourishes. All of theseelements combine in Camus' Chanson and Badinerie to make for an exciting addition to the advanced flautist's repertoire.
