Left Alone for Piano (left hand) and Orchestra was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2014-15. Commissioned by Westdeutscher Rundfunk and co-commissioned by City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Premiered by the WDR Sinfonieorchester and Alexandre Tharaud (piano) concducted by Ilan Volkov on January 29 2016 Cologne. Programme Note: I was born with a right hand that is not fully functional and though it never prevented me from loving playing the piano as well as I could with this physical limitation it hasobviously given me an alternative focus on the whole piano literature and has given me a close relationship with the works written for the left hand by Ravel and others. This repertoire has been with me since my youth. My very first public performance of one of my own works was in autumn 1969. The piece was called October and I played the piano with my left hand and the horn my principal instrument (the only instrument that can be played with only the left hand). Part of the piece requires the performer to play natural harmonics of the horn directly into the open strings of the grand piano to create resonance. The pedal was kept down by an assistant lying on the floor. Through decades the idea of writing a larger work for piano left hand has been in my mind. This new work is not written for a pianist with only one hand but rather by a composer who can only play with the left hand. The title Left alone contains all kinds of references not only to the obvious fact that the left hand is playing alone. Left alone is divided into two large parts each consisting of three smaller movements – in effect six in total. The work was commissioned by Westdeutscher Rundfunk and co-commissioned by City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Rotterdam Philharmonic and written for Alexandre Tharaud.

The objective of this coursebook is to guide you in practicing arpeggios on the piano in a playful non tiresome manner. Arpeggios are everywhere 芒?? in every musical style (in Blues Jazz as well as in classical music) in accompanying as well as in improvising in the right-hand as well as in the left-hand part. To the pianist they are technically and harmonically indispensable. Therefore as a beginning pianist you have no choice there is no way around them! This coursebook gives you the opportunity to learn or revise all the most important arpeggios: the major arpeggio the minor arpeggio the major seventh arpeggio (maj7) the minor seventh arpeggio (m7) and thedominant seventh arpeggio (7). For each you are given its composition and fingerings as well as three technical exercises (to learn how to handle it) and seven musical applications (accompaniments and solos) which are to be played along to backing tracks. For every musical application you have five different recordings at your disposal which appear on the mp3 CD in the following order: the piano alone 芒?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed; the same piano part played along to its backing track; and finally the backing track alone 芒?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed too. You thus have the possibility to work at your own rhythm and pace in accordance with your level and ability. Taken all together the tutorial provides more than 5 h of musical practice.

Written by Robert Saxton in 1988 for piano left hand only.'The Chacony was commissioned by the Aldeburgh Festival and first performed there in 1988 by the American pianist Leon Fleisher. In rising to the challenge ofwriting for left hand alone Saxton has reduced the basic material (the underlying ground bass theme) to the simplest element: a whole tone scale. Thus the opening section gradually reveals via a clear indication that D major isthe central tonality of the work the scale through a series of hesitant gestures the main body of the piece bursting out of the tensions created in the intervals of the scale especially the tritone (which plays an importantpart in the melodic version throughout).As with say the finest variation sets or grounds of a composer like Byrd the considerable virtuosity of the keyboard writing always stems from the musical or intellectual stimulus andis never mere empty show. This is a virtuosic response to the challenge of the imposed limitations beautifully written for piano and culminating in a final section in which D is once more resoundingly affirmed as the centre ofthe work though with equal resonance the tritone has the last word.Duration c. 6mins.
