Piano Sketches Duets 2 is a fantastic collection of new pieces for exploring the art of duet playing. Suitable for students working at the 'easy' or 'intermediate' technical level the book features a range of appealing and accessible styles from the evocative 'Autumn in Paris' to the spirited 'Tarantella' and Bach-pastiche 'Rumba for Johann'. As well as being great fun to play these pieces offer pianists an adventure in texture melody and harmony and will help to develop good ensemble playing.

This collection provides a historical selection of 40 original Piano pieces which have been influenced by extra-musical incidents or ideas: It begins with scenes from nature describes the fascination of rain portrays the figure of the shepherd wanders to 'moon' 'sleep' and 'dream' and concludes with the theme of 'movement' which is visible and audible either at sporting activities and in technical devices or on travels.It is quite fascinating to see that composers such as Burgmüller or Grieg Beethoven Debussy R. Schumann Tchaikovsky Villa-Lobos Satie Couperin Martinu Mendelssohn or Mussorgsky and many others see and musically describe the same themes quitedifferently.ContentIn the Woods: - Burgmüller Awakening in the Woods (from: 18 Studies Op. 109)Daquin Rondeau 'Le Coucou'Tschaikowsky The Lark's Song (from: The Seasons Op. 37a)Janácek The Barnowl has not Flown Away!

The fate of Bohuslav Martinu's String Trio no.1 which dates from the turn of 1923 and 1924 and was lost until 2005 is somewhat remarkable. The trio is the first work which Martinu created in Paris after becoming the private pupil of Albert Roussel and was probably performed twice in Paris during 1924. It had its Czech premiere in February 1925 and Martinu requested his friend S. Novak to make sure that they didn't lose the scores of the things they played because he did not have any sketches or copies.Precisely that which Martinu feared then occurred - the sole existing version of the trio was lost; it was not until the autumn of 2005 that the autographof the trio (the score and parts for the viola and cello - the violin part is still missing) was found at the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen thanks to the searches of the Bohuslav Martinu Institute and it is after this autograph that this edition has arisen.

In the autumn of 1974 György Kurtág began to copy selected pieces from the series Games into a music notebook for Zoltán Kocsis who had been his student in earlier years and who, even today, is one of its most authentic performers. Kocsis played from this notebook in the first public performance of Games in 1974. The gradually expanding series of piano pieces also appeared in print in the course of later decades- however, since then he has used this collection - expanded over 32 years since by Kurtág - whenever he plays pieces from Games in concert. Since the time of this 1974 concert, as he writes: I didnt know that the spiral notebook I received at the premi?re would later become, as it were, my permanent companion. That I would take it with me from Japan to Canada, from Australia to Iceland, travelling to the worlds most prominent concert halls, surviving fire damage, flood, transport catastrophes, theft attempts, forced landings and so on, and that - well beyond the intention of its being copied with love - it would include works and sketches for which this notebook would become the principal source. The manuscript gives a glimpse into Kurtágs workshop from the viewpoint of both performers and musicologists. The former can understand more from Kurtágs handwriting about the composers intentions than from the printed score. The musicologists, however, can study the historical origins of the works: some works can be found here in more than one version, others appear in a version different from the printed score. The publication is accompanied by a booklet and a CD supplement. The booklet contains Kocsiss own personal preface, as well as András Wilheims essay providing information about the collection and the pieces contained therein. On the CD we hear 11 works performed by Kocsis, from a recording made in 1982 which has not previously been commercially issued. This edition has been published for György Kurtágs 90th birthday.

Dating from the Autumn of 1828 Schubert's 10th Symphony is arguably the composer's final creative endeavour. Using Schubert's extensive piano sketches - substantially complete for movements two and three and containing the principle material for the movement - the renowned Schubert scholar Brian Newbould has realised the work as Schubert himself might have done. The editor's judicious and sensitive realisation born out of a life-long study of the composer's workings has resulted in a fascinating and rewarding addition to the symphonic repertoire. The 10th Symphony offers a unique insight into the startling pioneering style of Schubert on the threshold of his fourthdecade.
