Scored for piano left hand and string quartet, Kalevi Aho's Mysterium (2019) consists of four movements performed without a break. Aho had earlier come across the sketches for what was to be the last, unfinished work, Mysterium, by Alexander Scriabin. These fragmentary sketches inspired him to write this piano quintet dedicated to its commissioner, pianist Izumi Tateno. It is founded throughout on six-part Scriabin-like harmonies that also served as a basis for the melodic material. The first movement (Misterioso) is, as its name suggests, shadowy, mysterious in mood. The dynamic, quick second movement (Vivace) proceeds in quintuple 10/16 and 15/16 rhythms. The third movement (Adagio, misterioso) is again slow and dreamy, before arriving at the finale (Moderato) beginning in 11/16 time. The finale draws all the quintet's musical material together, and the work finally fades on mysterious Scriabin harmonies.

One of Scriabin's best-known piano pieces is also one of his very first compositions. He wrote it when he was only fifteen years old; when it appeared in print in 1893, the twenty-one-year-old was still so unknown that he did not receive any remuneration from the publisher. The rapturous etude was soon to enjoy unprecedented success. Marked “Andante”, it is not a virtuoso piece – but nevertheless it is a challenge to master the full-handed chords in legato and to clearly work out the upper and middle parts at the same time. In the Henle Urtext edition, Boris Giltburg's fingerings support this task in an exemplary manner. As an etude of medium difficulty, this earworm offers a wonderful introduction to the piano world of Scriabin!

Alexander Scriabin's music has been described as mystical, lyrical and idiosyncratic. He was a most innovative and controversial early modern Russian composer. His works were ignored for many years until recently and are now seen as sincere expression(s) of genius.
The Three Etudes for Trombone and Piano are early works of Scriabin, originally written for solo Piano. They show lyricism, passion, moodiness, chromatic harmonies and great expression.
Mr. Sauer has once again brought three wonderful new works for advanced performers who wish to explore this area, largely unknown to the Trombone world. Those who do will be richly rewarded with the depth of musicanship found in these works.

Here presented as a colourful orchestral suite, these preludes dating from Scriabin's European tours of 1894 95 lend themselves delightfully to the small orchestra. The original piano part is published at the bottom of the score.

These short pieces are inspired by the extraordinary piano music of the little known Yorkshire composer William Baines. Baines died in 1922 at the age of 23 but left behind a substantial catalogue of over 150 works. Likened to that of Scriabin, Baines’ piano music is sensuous, highly coloured and quite unlike anything being written by his British contemporaries. Shadows (Volume I) are reflections on episodes from Baines’ life and diary entries, each piece incorporating a chord, a gesture or a figuration from one of Baines’ solo piano works. It was particularly fitting that the set received its premiere in Yorkshire inthe fabulous surroundings of Ripon Cathedral.

Sensing was written partly as a 'prelude' to Scriabin's 9th Piano Sonata ('Black Mass'). In tribute to Scriabin the music explores a variety of keyboard 'touch' and 'colour/taste', in terms of harmony and texture, moving from a hesitant, fragmentary opening towards music more sustained and expressive.

Encounters V was commissioned by the Ford Foundation and written for cellist Nathaniel Rosen. It was premiered in 1976 in Alice Tully Hall (Lincoln Center, New York) by Mr. Rosen, with the composer performing the percussion part. In the course of the piece, which probes the relationships of violoncello and percussion, specific references are made to Scriabin's Ninth Sonata. As it progresses, the work incorporates more of Scriabin's mystic chord, which was involved in the serial formulation of the composition. Encounters V is an extremely difficult duet, requiring virtuosic performances by both cellist and percussionist. --William Kraft.

This is a sequel to the highly successful Child Prodigy Composers volume. In this second volume, the majority of the pieces are works recommended for pupils in the upper music school classes, and indeed some can be used successfully in secondary level teaching as well. Here too, most of the compositions were written before the age of 14 - it is amazing what highly developed piano technique some of these young composers already possessed at the age of 13 or 14!In addition to Muzio Clementi's A flat Major Sonata, the Allemandes by Carl Maria von Weber, Schubert's surprisingly mature C minor fantasia, the prodigiously talented Clara Schumann's two polonaises, Mussorgsky'sbrilliant polka, a sensitive waltz by Scriabin and Borodin's showy (but not difficult) four-hand polka, this volume also contains works by a Hungarian composer: the hitherto unpublished mazurkas by Ern Dohnányi, written around ages 11-12.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung der Erfolgsausgabe Wunderkinder als Komponisten (EMBZ14773). In diesem zweiten Band sind mehrheitlich Werke für die höheren Klassen der Musikschulen vertreten, manche Stücke können auch in der Mittelstufe eingesetzt werden. Bemerkenswert ist, dass ein Großteil der Werke mit unter 14 komponiert wurden. Verblüffend, über welche Klaviertechnik ein Teil der dreizehn-vierzehnjährigen Komponisten schon verfügten!Neben der Sonate in As-Dur von Muzio Clementi, den Allemanden von Carl Maria von Weber, der überraschend reifen Phantasie in c-Moll von Schubert, den beiden entzückenden Polonaisen von Clara Schumann, der brillanten Polka von Mussorgsky,dem sensiblen Walzer von Skrjabin und der effektvollen, aber nicht allzu schwierigen Polka für vier Hände von Borodin, erscheinen auch in diesem Band Werke eines ungarischen Komponisten - die Erstveröffentlichungen der im Alter von elf und zwölf Jahren entstandenen Masurken und Scherzandi von Ern Dohnányi.

It became a big hit and sold thousands of copies.Bob Burham has done a wonderful job in arranging this magical work of about 9 minutes in length for Trombone and Piano. For advanced performers.
