Par ANDERSON LEROY. Leroy Anderson\'s \'Sleigh Ride\' is a holiday favorite, and this setting for advanced piano duet gives it a fresh twist. It begins with Anderson\'s jingling melody and some musical banter between the primo and secondo players, and then launches into a series of variations that take the listener on a journey through a variety of styles---from gently swirling, impressionistic arpeggios to a triumphant coda with brilliant, virtuosic passagework. Audiences will enjoy a number of other musical surprises along the way. / Ensemble Music, Miscellaneous, Scores / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Per Pianoforte A Quattro Mani (O Due Pianoforti). Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

for piano four-hands-The six pieces in Gabriel Fauré's Dolly suite were inspired by the young daughter of the composer's friend Emma Bardac. The girl was born in 1892 and called “Dolly” on account of hersmall delicate figure. These pieces were composed mainly for Dolly's birthday or the New Year and reflect the world as experienced by the growing child from a lullaby to a temperamental dance. The suite was notmeant to be taken too seriously as shown by the subtle allusions to his own music and that of others. Despite their simple basic structure these pieces which soon became popular contain numerous harmonic and rhythmic subtletiestypical of the French composer – “children’s music” that is also well suited to adults.  

Enthusiasm thrives when students share musical experiences with others. This book provides many such opportunities as young pianists friends and parents take part together in playing these simple enjoyable duets. Each duet isbased on a tune from Kinder Keyboard (by Robert Pace). Through playing a secondo part along with the original melodies students revisit and expand upon concepts and creative activities from Kinder Keyboard whilelearning about playing musically rhyhmically and creatively by listening to a partner as well as to oneself.

Par LIANG LEI. I was fascinated with the Chinese landscape painter Huang Binhong (1865-1955), particularly with the albums the artist painted when he was nearly blind from cataracts. The image that inspired this composition was a detail taken from the painting. The detail was reconstructed by high-resolution scanning, and it reveals an intricate world hidden within the paintings' brushstrokes. It draws us into the landscape of microscopic elements - a fiber in the rice paper, or the trace left by a single hair in the brush. Will you come to my dream? is about discovering such a world, and the moment when we lose ourselves in the landscape together. – Lei Liang / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Piano 4 Mains

Instrumentation : Pf/4hCrossing Borders is a new progressive series of volumes designed to introduce the developing pianist to a broad range of popular music, including jazz, blues, rock and pop. Most of the pieces are original, written by Remo Vinciguerra, and the series as a whole is intended to be used as a lively and entertaining parallel to the standard classical training. The rhythmic, melodic and harmonic fingerprints of a wide range of popular styles are gradually introduced, yet a classical spirit or framework can also be recognised in much of the music. In accordance with the relative freedom typical of popular music, many interpretative decisions, especially concerning dynamics and pedalling, are left to the players. Tempo indications are for guidance only, and need not be taken too literally.

Alec Rowley (1892-1958) was an English composer organist and teacher. As well as his frequent Piano recitals and broadcasts he gained renown through his large-scale works performed at the Promenade Concerts but most of his compositions are miniatures and small-scale works appropriate for amateur forces. Having studied at the Royal Academy of Music he later taught at Trinity College London for nearly forty years. Badinage is a work for Piano Duet. It takes its name from a French word meaning a humourous or jovial conversation. Rowley often performed duets with Edgar Moy and published severalvolumes in this genre.
