24 Pieces For Piano. Par WOLF PETER E.. Péter Wolf (a doctoral graduate of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest) has composed a number of large-scale compositions in recent years which have had success at the hands of distinguished performers: these include two piano concertos as well as concertos for oboe, clarinet, and violin. By entitling his newest set of pieces for piano Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, the composer was able to simultaneously indulge in wordplay based upon his surname and give a tip of the hat to German baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach. The work's likeness to Bach is not limited to its title - the manner in which a piece has been written in both major and minor keys for each tone of the chromatic scale is blatantly inspired by Bach. In the preface to this publication, Wolf offers the following insights: ''I think I managed to find expressive titles. The first piece, Epiclesis (a prayer for inspiration, patience, and support), was heard from above: I was able to work continuously and without inhibitions. The works could be born in every key, until the last one, the Epilogue, was completed. When I finally finished inscribing the pitches of Bach's name, I admit, a little shiver went through me.'' Of the character pieces, all were completely new with the exceptions of one being previously written and another whose theme Wolf borrowed from one of his own stage works. Wolf-temperiertes Klavier is recommended for advanced pianists who wish to push the boundaries between musical genres, as well as classical musicians interested in the harmonic language of jazz. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Piano

Edited From The Sources And Provided With Fingerings And Notes On Interpretation By Christian Ubber. Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. The polonaises are regarded as one of the most important genres in the compositional oeuvre of Frédéric Chopin, some of them even as some of his most popular compositions. Their spectrum ranges from early works which can even be played by advanced beginners (e.g. Polonaise in B flat major) to demanding concert literature. The new edition of Wiener Urtext Edition is based on all relevant sources: autographs, copyist's copies, engraver's copies, first editions, as well as copies of Chopin's pupils used in their lessons. The edition's preferred main sources are each of the last published first editions which not only contain the last revisions but also provide comfortable, more transparent performance instructions. This is illustrated by the famous Polonaise in A major Op. 40/1 which is presented in the versions of the German and French first editions. Of some early polonaises second versions are included./ Répertoire / Piano

'There is a remarkable force to all of Ornstein's music—a burst of energy a frenzy and a passion which are ever refreshing to the tired musical ear.'—George GershwinThis original anthology is the first single-volume edition of the works of American avant-garde composer Leo Ornstein (1893 2002). Characterized as a futurist and ultra-modernist Ornstein created daring dissonant works that excited both admiration and contempt. A steadfast follower of his own musical instincts the composer retired from his career as an internationally renowned pianist in the 1920s and continued to compose in obscurity for another half-century. Ornstein founded aPhiladelphia-based music school enjoyed a renaissance of popularity in the 1970s and completed his eighth and final piano sonata at the age of 97.These sixteen compositions span eight decades and demonstrate a remarkable diversity of styles from lyrical to atonal. Contents include Three Moods Impressions of the Thames Impressions of Chinatown A Long Remembered Sorrow A Morning in the Woods and other works. Aaron Copland declared a performance of Wild Men's Dance as the most controversial moment of his young life and as recently as 2002 The New York Times pronounced it 'a shocker.' Many originally published from 1914 to 1925 these pieces were long out of print until their return in this unique edition which is sure to captivate intermediate to advanced level pianists and all fans of avant-garde music.Dover Original.
