Composed between 1920 and 1921, Stories is a suite of ten short movements by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962), a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919. Written for piano, this publication was commissioned by Alphonse Leduc editor and increased Jacques Ibert's popularity. The ten pieces are as follows: 1. La meneuse de tortures d?or (The golden Turtle's leader) 2. Le petit âne blanc (The little white donkey) 3. Le vieux mendicant (The old beggar) 4. A Giddy girl?5. Dans la maison triste (In the sad house) 6. Le palais abandonné (The abandoned palace) 7. Bajo la mesa (Under the table) 8. La cage de cristal (The crystal cage) 9. La marchande d?eau fraiche (The fresh water merchant) 10. Le cortège de Balkis (Balkis march). It is believed that the pieces 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 were initially composed for 4-hand piano. Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) also composed many symphonic suites, operas and seven orchestras, including Angelique (1926) and Divertissement (1930). He also was in charge of the French Academy in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the Paris Opera.

It was through Einar Englund (1916-1999) that the Neoclassicism already familiar elsewhere in the world landed on Finnish shores in the late 1940s. A composer especially of large-scale orchestral and chamber works, Englund is one of the greatest Finnish symphonists.Sinuhe is an example of a Finnish composition founded on a non-Finnish subject handled in a non-National-Romantic way. This probably partly explains why the score has fallen into oblivion in Finland: the Oriental moods and the Nile do not correspond to the view of a Finnish composition as one favouring topics from the national epic, the Kalevala, and lakeland scenery. The music also incorporates motifs derived from Lapp yoiks used by Englund in his score for the film The White Deer (1952). When it was written, the ballet's combination of a historical subject with an exotic, stylised idiom showed that Englund had his finger on the international pulse, unlike, say, Samuel Barber's ballet Medea (1946) and Aram Khachaturian's ballet Spartacus (1956).The suite from Sinuhe is in five scenes. It omits the original overture and almost all the music for the second half of the ballet. Sinuhe's hapless love for the courtesan Nefernefer is described with languorous sensuality. His servant Kaptah throws himself into a frenzied dance with the Cretan maidens. The suite ends with the rhythmic war dance of his friend Horemheb.

Offenbach, who came to Paris at the age of 14, gave concerts as a cello virtuoso and composed for salons and dance halls before achieving world fame as the inventor of the “Offenbachiade”. However, writing waltzes, mazurkas and polkas not only provided him with a good technical basis, it was also a perfect vehicle for making a name for himself in the Parisian music world. La Jeunesse de Berlin is one of the first waltz suites that Offenbach composed for one of the legendary Parisian entertainment establishments, the “Turkish Garden”. It was only published in a very small edition. Neither biographers nor catalogs mention the charming work. Until the French researcher and collector Jérôme Collomb found a copy of the first edition for piano and thus made this new publication possible.

Although Madetoja is not often regarded as a composer of piano music, he has composed several fine pieces that represent his intimate, melancholy Late Romantic style. The Pastoral Suite dating from 1916 is made up of four movements, the best-known of them being A Legend (Legenda). This work also exists in an orchestral arrangement.

Jon Lord’s Sarabande was composed during 1975 and released as a solo album the following year. This new revised edition of the composer’s 2010 concert version represents the first appearance of the work in print in anyform. Lord intended it for his own use in live performance, as a companion to his celebrated Concerto for Group and Orchestra. It is a brilliant showpiece for the combined forces of rock band and orchestra, takinginspiration from the keyboard suites of J.S. Bach. This new full score is edited by Jon Lord’s long-time musical collaborator, the conductor Paul Mann, and makes use of many previously unavailable sources including themanuscriptscores of the original version and a copy of the score corrected in consultation with the composer following the 2010 premiere. It can therefore be said to represent as closely as possible Jon Lord’s final thoughts onthe work. Jon Lords Sarabande werd gecomponeerd in 1975 en het jaar daarop uitgebracht als soloalbum. Deze nieuwe, herziene uitgave van de concertversie die de componist zelf in 2010 vervaardigde, is de eerste editie op papier dieooit van het werk is verschenen. Lord gebruikte de basisversie zelf bij live optredens, wanneer hij het werk uitvoerde naast zijn gevierde Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Het is een geweldig stuk voor een combinatie vanrockband en orkest, ge nspireerd op de klavecimbelsuites van Johann Sebastian Bach. Deze nieuwe partituur is bewerkt door dirigent Paul Mann, met wie de componist op muzikaal gebied al jaren samenwerkt. Er zijn veelvoorheenontoegankelijke bronnen voor gebruikt, waaronder de handgeschreven partituren van de originele versie en een partituur die na de première in 2010 is verbeterd in overleg met de componist. Daarom kan worden gesteld datdeze bewerking de laatste gedachten van Jon Lord over dit werk zo nauwkeurig mogelijk weergeeft. Partitur und Klavierauszug der Sarabande können käuflich erworben werden. Das Einzelstimmen-Set ist ausschließlich Leihmaterial.Auskunft über Leih-Bedingungen und Preise erhalten Sie auf Nachfrage.

Die überarbeitete Ausgabe der Konzertversion des Komponisten aus dem Jahr 2010 erscheint hiermit zum ersten Mal in gedruckter Form. Lord hattediese Version für seine eigenen Live-Auftritte gedacht, alseine Art Ergänzung zu seinem berühmten Concerto for Group and Orchestra. Das Werk ist ein brillantes Paradebeispiel für die vereinte Kraft von Rockband und Orchester und wurde von denSuiten J. S. Bachs inspiriert. Dieseneue Ausgabe der Partitur wurde von Paul Mann, Jon Lords langjährigem musikalischem Freund, herausgegeben. Sie basiert auf zahlreichen bisher nicht zugänglichen Quellen wie dem Manuskript der Originalversion undeiner Kopie der inAbsprache mit dem Komponisten korrigierten Partitur nach der Aufführung im Jahr 2010. Es werden somit Jon Lords letzte Gedanken zu diesem Werk so genau wie möglich dargestellt. Sarabande de Jon Lord fut composé en 1975 et sorti comme disque solo l’année d’après. Cette nouvelle édition révisée, basée sur la version de concert du compositeur de 2010, est la toute première version publiée de l’œuvre.Lord l’avait conçue pour accompagner son Concerto for Group and Orchestra lors d’interprétations en direct. Un morceau virtuose qui combine les forces de groupe de rock et d’orchestre, inspiré par les suites pour clavier deJean-Sébastien Bach. Cette nouvelle édition complète est éditée par le chef d’orchestre Paul Mann, collaborateur musical de Jon Lord depuis longtemps. Elle se repose sur de nombreuses sources qui étaient indisponiblesauparavant,comme le manuscrit de la version originale, ainsi qu’une copie de la partition corrigée en consultation avec le compositeur après la première de 2010. Par conséquent, cette édition est sans doute une représentationaussi précise que possible des dernières réflexions de Jon Lord sur cette œuvre.

From Stage Flop to Concert FavoriteThe story of Alphonse Daudet's drama L'Arlesienne to which Georges Bizet composed several pieces in 1872 focuses on the story of love and suicide and was inspired by true events. The musical drama had flopped at its premiere, but the suite that Bizet arranged shortly afterwards from its stage music enjoys great popularity to this very day. After Bizet's death, his friend Ernest Guiraud put together four more movements of themes and motives by Bizet for a second suite establishing a musical connection to Provence und Arles especially in the outer movements, the Pastorale and the effective Fandarole. With this edition, Breitkopf & Hartel continues its successful collaboration with Eulenburg.

The piano series entitled Games, written from 1973 onwards, was conceived as a piano method. As the years went by, the series lost its didactic character, at it came to be seen as a document from Kurtág's workshop, offering a key to his grander symphonic, chamber and vocal works as well.Tenth volume is divided into two parts: In the first half, earlier, hitherto unpublished pieces line up from Suite, written in 1943, to the 1980s, providing insight into the development of Kurtág's musical language. The second half includes pieces composed between 2002 and 2011. The movements, often aphorismic in their briefness, hide associations with various aspects of European music history.Many of them are hommage or in memoriam pieces, or subjective personal messages to friends, colleagues, and beloved family members - and thereby to all music-loving people. This publication is printed on high quality, durable paper made from renewable raw materials in an environmentally friendly way.
