Often referred to as the Dean of African American Composers, William Grant Still's illustrious career contained many ground-breaking achievements. Following the massive success of his critically acclaimed Symphony No. 1, the Afro-American Symphony (1930), Still's Symphony No. 2 was premiered in 1937 by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of conductor Leopold Stokowski. The work, subtitled Song of a New Race, infuses elements of blues and jazz into the classical form, creating a uniquely blended sound to reflect Still's vision of an increasingly diverse American culture. Slow, dreamy themes are expressed through lush harmonies utilizing thick textures along with solo and divisi playing. The tension between traditional and jazz idioms is felt in the push and pull of shifting tempo and tonality. Originally composed for Full Orchestra, this slightly abridged version for String Orchestra includes the original harp part, honoring the legacy of one of America's greatest composers.Often referred to as the Dean of African American Composers, William Grant Still's illustrious career contained many ground-breaking achievements.

Composed by Sigismond Stojowski, Fantasy, Op.38 is a piece for Bass Trombone and Piano. This lyrical piece, published in 1912, is very melodic and would require advanced skills and technique to perform it perfectly. This piece is one of the first he wrote after moving to the USA. Comparable to Chopin's 'Fantasy', even though Stojowski's seems better-written and more virtuous. A transcription exists for Viola and other instruments. Sigismond Stojowski is a Polish pianist, composer and conductor who studied at the Paris Conservatoire. He was a good friend of Tchaikovsky and worked as a Piano soloist in the USA with the Boston and the San Francisco Symphony, as well as the New York Philharmonic, among others.

Il presente metodo intende analizzare ed affrontare i problemi fondamentali della tecnica clavicembalistica. Poiché lo studio del clavicembalo viene frequentemente affrontato dopo un periodo di formazione pianistica o organistica, lo studioso si trova di fronte a vari inconvenienti tecnici; la tecnica pianistico-organistica, infatti, non è adatta alla meccanica a corde pizzicate: il clavicembalo è uno strumento diverso ed autonomo, con sue proprie caratteristiche organologiche ed una sua tecnica specifica. Un approccio tecnico errato ha conseguenze fatali sulla qualità del suono e sulla possibilità di modellarlo ed asservirlo alle esigenze interpretative, e produce sgradevoli rumori meccanici. Nei casi peggiori crea problemi tecnici tali da rendere faticosa, se non impossibile, un’esecuzione perlomeno corretta, e la meccanica dello strumento può subire dei danni. È perciò di vitale importanza un lavoro di adeguamento o di ricostruzione della tecnica.I principi esposti in questo Metodo sono applicabili, con pochissime modifiche, anche al clavicordo e al fortepiano. Lo studioso vi troverà, in ordine crescente di complessità: degli esercizi di tecnica ‘pura’, pensati per isolare chiaramente il movimento da apprendere; dei piccoli frammenti – évolutions le avrebbe chiamate François Couperin – nei quali il movimento in esame è inserito in un contesto più musicale; degli studi dal meccanismo più complesso. Si è rinunciato a cominciare dal livello elementare, già affrontato da altri metodi, in favore di un maggiore approfondimento di quello intermedio. Il materiale è tratto o adattato dal repertorio, e in alcuni casi composto dall'autore. Tranne che nel caso delle scale, si è coscientemente evitato riferimenti alla trattatistica: nelle fonti storiche le istruzioni tecniche sono piuttosto generiche, mentre scopo del presente lavoro è ‘prendere per mano’ lo studioso ed aiutarlo gradualmente a costruire (o a perfezionare) la gestualità di base indispensabile alla buona esecuzione clavicembalistica. La sezione dedicata all’interpretazione è volutamente ridotta: un’analisi approfondita di tutti i problemi stilistici ed espressivi, posto che riuscisse ad essere esaustiva, richiederebbe un poderosissimo volume a parte. Lo scritto tende sempre a trasformarsi in dogma, in arida regola che non può prevedere tutte le infinite variabili che si danno nel fluire del discorso musicale: la musica si fa, e solo in parte si può spiegare. Si è preferito perciò limitarsi ad alcuni ‘consigli’, indicazioni generiche di partenza, che possono e devono essere superate, nella convinzione che l’esperienza personale e il lavoro diretto con l’insegnante siano di gran lunga più fecondi.
