In 1959, Richard Lane was twenty-six years old and he wrote his first of eleven piano sonatas. At the time, he had just finished serving in the US Army as a musician and was selected to be an inaugural member of the Young Composers Project, which was sponsored by the Ford Foundation. As part of this project, Lane was assigned to compose music for the secondary level (public schools) in Rochester, New York, where he previously graduated from the Eastman School of Music. In 1959, Lane composed twenty pieces, seven of which were for the Rochester public schools, ranging from choral and orchestral works. The remaining thirteen pieces which Lane wrote at this time were vocal and instrumental solos, as well as other orchestral and choral works, and one opera. Of the twenty pieces, three of them were for solo piano, including the Piano Sonata 1.

“Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn was best known for his contributions to the French Mélodie, however his other works have never gone amiss. His The Distraught Nightingale Poems for Piano represents the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music was a magical art and his instrumental compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Suitable advanced pianists, the first volume of Hahn's The Distraught Nightingale Poems provides pleasant and evocative performance pieces, incorporating a range of expressions, rhythms and other musical features.”.

They are suitable for sight-reading and are especially good for practicing the use of the right pedal. Ifthe one or the other piece is then transposed into other keys in a courageous and experimental way or taken as a starting point for one's own improvisations, the purpose of the collection is more than fulfilled._____________ <> Zhi Zai Wei Er Tong , Qing Nian He Cheng Ren De Gang Qin Xue Xi Ti Gong Feng Fu Duo Yang De Ji Chu Xing Jiao Cai .

More and more people are looking for a way to offset the demands of everyday life by making music. Particularly welcome are pieces that often evoke poetic, meditative moods and are good for the soul through their simple harmonies. The majority of the pieces in this book arose from this premise. They also explore the multi-faceted expressive possibilities of the piano as well: they can convey exuberance, comfort, joy, longing, compassion, mourning, anger and ecstasy, but also mystical moments. Short programmatic annotations in the musical text, along with the titles and the music on the audiotracks, awaken inner relationships that infuse more spirit into ones playing. And the possibility of expressing feelings while playing can also be a motivation to expand ones own piano-technical resources.,,Dans la selection de Michael Proksch, tout est propice a l'improvisation, plus classique que reellement jazz. Le CD joint donne une bonne idee.(Pianiste).

Bagatelle was commissioned in 2016 by bass trombonist Jonathan Warburton as a companion piece to Pledge (2010). The piece is in A minor, and opens with a determined march-like theme shared by both instruments. The following section uses an ascending Dorian mode scale as its primary motif, before merging this theme with the opening march melody. The bass trombone and piano share equally important roles in the work. The piece is titled Bagatelle, as it is a short and unpretentious work. Shane Lamb's new work Bagatelle for Bass Trombone and Piano challenges both performers with different colors and expressive moods. About 4 minutes in length, this work is very appropriate for advanced intermediate performers. The range is modest and there is a muted section as well as a rubato cadenza-like section for the soloist.

'Romanc e for violin and piano is a short, reflective piece that exploits the lyrical qualities inherent in the combination. Originally written for a very young but talented violinist, Romance travels through numerous moods andcolours within a continuous musical development of the opening material. At first gentle and reflective with increasing dramatic outbursts outlined by the violin sforzandi and parallel sixths in the piano writing, numerous shortsolo passages in both instruments culminate in a fiery climax. Quickly subsiding into the calmer yet now more melancholy strains of the earlier stages of the piece, the ending is somewhat incomplete. This seems to suggest acontinuous turn of events alluded to in the music.'

A true Grand Duo for cello and piano to provide a much needed connection between the first sonatas for this combination -- by Beethoven -- and the later 19th century repertoire. Eberl's heroic style provides a masterly alternative to the over familiar works, with the balance of power between the two players scrupulously maintained throughout, and ingenious formal innovations. The Rhapsodie finale in particular, with sections in varying metres and moods, resolves in an elegant Pastorale, an entirely new format for this combination. The composer thoughtfully provided an adaptation of the cello part for violin containing many differences which will be of interest to players of both instruments; both string parts are included in this publication.
