Si Scriabine est aujourd'hui avant tout connu pour sa musique de piano mystico-visionnaire, il composa dans ses jeunes années aussi une ravissante pièce de musique de chambre, la Romance pour cor et piano. Grâce à sa partie de cor pas difficile d'un point de vue technique et son accompagnement de piano tout à fait charmant la Romance est un morceau de concert plein d'effet déjà pour des élèves. Etant donné que l'oeuvre ne fut pas imprimée du vivant du compositeur, l'autographe représente la seule source pour notre édition, laquelle est parue en collaboration avec la moscovite Valentina Rubcova, spécialiste de Scriabine. / Cor Et Piano

Six Pieces for Piano Op. 51 was commissioned in 1882 and destined for the bourgeois salons, using popular dance types: minuet, polka, 3 waltzes and a romance. / Piano

Gaspare Spontini, composer and conductor, was celebrated for his operas in the late 1700s and early 1800s, although he also composed several pieces of vocal chamber music at the same time. The chamber repertoire was composed with the amateur performer in mind: the tessitura of his melodies falls mostly within the medium/high range and does not call for any special techniques. This does not, however, diminish the artistic value of his chamber music- indeed, it is a body of work of great interest and beauty. Each piece was written for a single voice accompanied by the piano or the harp - the two instruments most commonly found in salons of the time - and in a variety of forms: bagatelle, barcarole, chansonnette, romance, stances, stances élégiaques, élégie, strophes, Lied, romanze, ariette, melodici accenti, duetti and duetti notturni. In addition to a selection of compositions for medium-range voices - proposed here in the original tonic key - this book also includes the most celebrated and significant of Spontini's compositions. / Voix Moyenne(s) Et Piano

As with many seemingly simple works a good level of technical ability and musicianship is required to create a performance worthy of the music.The piece is known by many names Spanish Romance Romance de Espana Romance of the Guitar and Study in E by Rubira. Similarly the authorship is unsettled though Miguel Llobet is one of the names to which the piece is credited. The earliest known recording was a wax cylinder made sometime around 1900. Whoever wrote Romance Anonimo it is a lovely piece beloved of audiences and Guitarists alike.

Quelques mois seulement après le parachèvement de sa Sonate pour violoncelle op. 6, Strauss composa une autre œuvre pour cet instrument: une Romance pour violoncelle et orchestre, qui resta non publiée de son vivant. Selon le manuscrit autographe, cette composition fut terminée le 27 juin 1883, et Strauss en réalisa lui-même également la réduction pour piano. Cette Romance passe pour l’une de ses œuvres de jeunesse les plus mûres, mais, malgré quelques exécutions publiques du reste bien accueillies, données par le violoncelliste solo de l’Orchestre de la cour de Munich Hanuš Wihan, alors très renommé, elle resta longtemps dans l’ombre de la Sonate pour violoncelle. Ce n’est qu’après la première publication posthume de l’œuvre en 1986 que cette pièce exclusive et singulière fut redécouverte par les milieux musicaux – et la voici maintenant aussi dans notre édition Henle Urtext très appréciée. / Partitions classique / Cordes / Violoncelle / HENLE VERLAG

uit: Vier Volkskantates-Romance from the DandelionsCantata on verse by Miloslav Bures A cantata for mixed a cappella choir and soprano solo set to a text by Miloslav Bures. The work is part of a cycle of four vocal pieces which Martinu wrote to texts by this poet (The Opening of the Wells Romance of the Dandelions Legend of the Smoke from Potato Fires and Mikes of the Mountains). These works have in common simplicity of melodic line and harmonic treatment clear tonal grounding in each piece structure of form and central motifs; they are also a testimony of the composer's love for his native country and the Vysocina [Highlands] region. This edition is based in compliancewith the composer's wishes on the performance of the work by the Czech Choral Society. The sung text and forewords are printed in Czech English and German.

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Camille Saint-Saëns composed this Romance, Op. 51, in 1877, originally in the key of D major for cello and piano. The form of the piece is relatively simple, opening with a lyrical melody over a repetitive and somewhat rhythmic accompaniment. The middle section modulates to the key of the flattened 6th scale degree (B-flat major), using this to arrive at the dominant chord, in which there are some pseudo cadenza-like moments. Following this, a return to the opening melody with a slightly modified accompaniment, and subsequently a brief coda. To better accommodate the bass clarinet, the entire piece has been transposed up a half-step from the original version into a morecomfortable key of E-flat major. Additionally, for much of the piece, the solo part has been lowered by an octave, as to make the piece generally more accessible to students. Should there be a desire to hear the piece more in the range of the original version, one could simply play it on a standard B-flat clarinet to achieve this effect. Though only about four minutes in length, this relatively short vignette captures much of the true essence of Saint-Saëns, not only through the harmonic progressions and accompanimental figures used, but also demonstrating his gift of turning a 'simple' melody into something extraordinary.

The Romance for a melodic instrument and Piano was a very popular genre in French salon music of the nineteenth century. Saint-Saëns also wrote several such pieces for Violin Cello and Horn. His only Romance for Flute was composed in 1871 shortly after the Société nationale de musique had been founded. It was premiered in this new forum for Piano music and chamber works a year later too. In spite of its brevity the piece contains numerous harmonic and melodic refinements which rapidly made it popular among flautists both in the original setting with Piano accompaniment as well as in the later orchestral version. The Henle Urtext edition is the firstcritical edition of this piece which is also very popular with learners of the Flute.
