This third solo album for piano, Go Your Own Way, is dedicated to the eternal question of which path to take in life. Twelve very emotional New Age pieces for piano take the pianist and the audience on a musical journey during which each of them follows his heart and his inner voice. The road of life is often rocky and paved with tears. And yet, everybody should take it as a fighter and leave his own mark. This requires courage and confidence in order not to despair or be broken. The bottom line of all this is that the way is the goal and that everybody has to go it. These expressive compositions are highly nuanced like piano playing, exciting, rich in contrast and exploring boundaries like life: melancholy and lamenting, comforting, affectionately soothing, motivating, confident, breath-taking, and passionate.Twelve very emotional New Age pieces for piano take the listeners on a musical journey during which each of them follows his heart and his inner voice. Expressive compositions: melancholy and lamenting, comforting, affectionately soothing, motivating, and passionate.

John La Montaine's Twelve Relationships for Piano Solo consists of twelve short canons: Bold and Plain, Teasing, Plaintive, Bittersweet, Wayward, Saucy, Entreating, Piquant, Brooding, Spirited and Jubilant. It was originally composed in 1965. A canon is the strictest form of composition, in which two or more parts take up in succession exactly the same musical subject. Each of the canons in Twelve Relationships is at a different interval. That is, the second entrance of the subject begins on a different note in each canon, and that note is always different from the first entrance. Twelve different intervals are utilized in the twelve canons. Each of these canons is strict in its succession of intervals from the first note to the last. The first canon is at the octave and therefore in one and the same key. All of the others at different intervals, since they are strict, are simultaneously in two different keys. There is no other known set of canons so composed. The title Twelve Relationships may be understood in two senses. One refers to the form, the intervallic relationships mentioned above. The other refers to the content, that is, to the psychological relationships that are implied by the titles of the individual canons and which form the musical substance of the pieces. Jocelyn Mackey (Pan Pipes, music critic): Twelve Relationships contains twelve two-part canons with titles like, Plaintive, Sprightly, Saucy, Brooding. The first, Bold and Plain, is composed with imitation at the fifth, while a different interval is used in each of the other eleven. Just as the Well-Tempered Clavier contains preludes in each possible key, each possible interval of imitation is used in this set of canons. Amazing contrapuntal skill..

As well as 20 organ sonatas and seven collections of stand-alone organ pieces with opus numbers, Rheinberger composed a whole range of smaller works for organ methods or organ collections for his favorite instrument, mainly at the request of colleagues and friends. They are ideally suited for mass and organ lessons.This organ volume brings together twelve compositions Rheinberger wrote for different occasions and at various points during his career. Included in the collection are seven short pieces in different keys that date from the early 1860s. Rheinberger wrote these at the request of his teacher Herzog and others for several organ collections of “easy, performable†pieces – and they are rewarding pieces for liturgical use. The works without opus numbers (WoO 10, 37, 56, 70) can no longer be regarded as early works. The Fugue in F minor WoO 10 of 1867, with its tendency to translate counterpoint into expressive chordal writing, already displays many characteristics of the late Rheinberger, the Canzonetta WoO 77 is a late work from autumn 1899, whereas the Romanze WoO 70 is a second version of no. 1 of the Miscellaneen op. 174 in the easier to play key of C major.Separate edition from Supplementary Volume 3 of the Rheinberger Complete Edition.

Twelve Astrological Preludes were written over a period of roughly two years and several were broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night as well as in other concerts. Aquarius was written in 1994 as a filler to apopular BBC solo piano series of the time called At the Piano. It was named Aquarius for programming purposes and as Elms left the studio the producer called after him 'Only eleven to go' and so Twelve Astrological Preludes cameinto being.The preludes, which run in the usual cycle, are based upon two melodic strands and there is one piece in each of the twelve major keys. The character and style of each prelude alludes to certaincharactertraits of its particular birth sign and each piece bears the initials of a friend born under that particular sign. Each prelude is prefaced by a printed description of some of the general characteristics deemed to beassociated with that sign. These are, of course, generalisations! Some preludes show a little deference to some of my favourite 'masters'.Elms has recorded Twelve Astrological Preludes for the Herald label and they areavailable on the CD Moody Moves together with other pieces of his chamber music including the piano sextet from which the CD takes its name.

This work, composed in 1971, was intended for professional performers. It was written with post-Webern, free twelve-tone technique; its sound is characterized by frequent use of all twelve notes in the construction of the harmony, and by wide spacing of dissonant intervals or the crowding of them into dense blocks. These short character pieces contain a great variety of gestures and emotions, ranging from witty playfulness through violent -Sturm und Drang- behaviour that shatters every framework, to mournful lamentation and hope of hymnic redemption.

Die kurzen Charakterstücke beinhalten viele Gesten und Emotionen, die von der witzigen Verspieltheit über das aggressive, jegliche Rahmen zersprengendes Sturm und Drang-Verhalten, bis hin zum Trauerlied und der hymnischen Erlösungshoffnung reichen.
