Debussy

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

Claude Debussy's Douze Etudes (Twelve Studies) for piano were written during the summer of 1915, a period in the composer's life filled with intense creativity. This scholarly edition, edited by Dr. Stewart Gordon, has been carefully researched from autographs and first editions. Discrepancies between sources are mentioned in footnotes. In prefatory matter, Dr. Gordon discusses Debussy's playing, pedaling considerations, and articulation issues. Also provided are detailed analyses of each study's structure, a chart of metronome marks corresponding with recorded performances of the Etudes by famous pianists, and a glossary of the French terms used throughout the Etudes. Additionally, valuable performance recommendations, helpful fingering, and pedaling suggestions are offered in this comprehensive edition. / Piano

?Ich glaube ohne falsche Eitelkeit dass diese drei Stücke sich gut machen und ihren Platz in der Klavierliteratur einnehmen werden ? zur Linken Schumanns oder zur Rechten Chopins ? as you like it? schrieb Debussy im August 1905 selbstbewusst an seinen Verleger Jacques Durand. Die ?Images? verzaubern durch irisierende Klangfarben und schillernde Harmonien ?nach den neuesten Entdeckungen der harmonischen Chemie? getragen von einem im zweiten Heft durchgehend auf drei Systemen notierten virtuosen Klaviersatz.Zum 150.

French pianist, arranger, composer and conductor, Jean Michel Defaye (b. 1932) entered the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of ten years old. His successful compositions and arrangements were mainly for brass, In the Style ofDebussy, composed in 2002 for Trombone and Piano, being no exception. With a typical performance lasting about five minutes, Defaye's In the Style of Debussy reflects the compositional techniques of Claude Debussy by use ofchromaticism, evocative melodic passages, spread chords in the accompaniment and a calm nature. Defaye's passion to explore a variety of preceding composers is clear with In the Style of Debussy being a part of a series whichexplores the music of many great composers. For all aspiring trombonists wishing to vary and expand their repertoire, In the Style of Debussy by Jean Michel Defaye is essential. / Partitions classique / Cuivres et percussions / Trombone / LEDUC

Debussy composed this work in summer 1880 in Fiesole Italy when he was 18 years old. At the time he was the musical travelling companion of Nadescha von Meck Tschaikowsky’s famous patroness. Most of the autographmaterial was thought to have been lost and was only discovered over 100 years later in 1982 in the estate of Debussy’s pupil Maurice Dumesnil. When Henle published the first edition in 1986 the music world welcomed theTrio with open arms. Ensembles rushed to play it and numerous recordings followed. Although formal conventions prevail the work displays a melodic freshness as well as inflections and phrases that are typical ofDebussy.

After several single pieces and several smaller Piano cycles in 1910 the recently composed Préludes Premier Livre was published. The title draws on a traditional form following Chopin?s example. In additionDebussy discreetly characterized his Préludes by dispensing with titles but giving the pieces programmatic directions at the end of each Prélude. This first volume became an immediate success and even today is consideredto be the epitome of Debussy?s Piano artistry. Some of these more substantial pieces are also within reach of those who do not intend to become concert pianists.

This single edition it is number 10 in the first volume of the Préludes (HN 383) of 1910 shows the extent of Debussy?s imagination as he conjures up the old city of Ys that has sunk into the sea. Debussyenjoyed playing this piece himself and also left behind a recording on Piano roll. This gives important insights into his tempi. The term prélude reminiscent of Chopin makes clear the return to traditional forms which the nowestablished composer was slowly embracing once again. The programmatic title as with all of the Préludes is only given at the end of the piece thus underlining its passing significance.

The piece comes down to us in an array of sources, and several important ones are drawn upon for the first time in Bärenreiter’s new scholarly-critical edition. Most of the currently available editions are based on the first edition from 1895 which, however, contains many engraver errors. When the corresponding orchestral parts are also taken into consideration, countless discrepancies are revealed. Bärenreiter’s Urtext edition incorporates readings of a printed copy of the score from c. 1908 which shows corrections and emendations by the composer. These important changes, found in no other source, include metronome markings, different pitches and additional notes, as well as added tempo and articulation markings, which all subtly enhance Debussy’s finely sculpted work. There is even a breath mark added to the famous solo flute passage which opens the work. - Scholarly critical edition with many corrections in the score and orchestral parts - Clear presentation of orchestral parts in an enlarged format, 25.5 cm x 32.5 cm

Following the recent publication of the full score and performance material to Debussy’s “La Mer” (BA 7880), Bärenreiter now presents the study score edition of this “impressionistic” masterpiece. The new scholarly-critical edition draws on several important sources previously unavailable to musicologists, resulting in an array of new readings and corrections. In addition, there are many changes, especially in terms of articulation and dynamics. This new edition includes the famous “fanfare” in Movement III, clearly marked in small print and brackets. This fanfare was excised in the 1910 reissue of the work, but was reinstated by a number of great conductors who knew Debussy, i.e. Monteux, Münch, Mitropoulos and Ansermet. They felt that the excision was a misunderstanding and that the fanfare was necessary for the structure of the movement. And so, the Bärenreiter edition presents the revival of a performing tradition which is committed to the fanfare. - New Urtext edition with numerous corrections in comparison to other editions - Important sources which were previously inaccessible have been taken into account Edition no.: TP 780 ISMN: 9790006205455 Editor: Woodfull-Harris, Douglas Language(s) of text: French, English, German Product format: Study score, Urtext edition Binding: Paperback Pages / Format: XXVIII, 158 S. - 22,5 x 16,5 cm

Piano Works Volume I-To mark the 150th anniversary of Debussy?s birth in 2012 Henle are proud to present a tribute to his piano solo works in three volumes available as a paperbound or a clothbound edition. As a publishing house whose main focus ison piano music it was important for Henle to give a special place to the works of Claude Debussy the innovator of piano style. Thus since the early 1980s they have steadily been publishing single editions of all of Debussy?simportant works for the piano. Henle's editor Ernst-Günter Heinemann has worked closely with the French Debussy scholar François Lesure to present Debussy?s elaborate music in high quality Urtext editions. Beginning with the'Danse bohémienne' from 1880 all of the single works from Henle's catalogue have been drawn together in these three volumes arranged according to their date of composition. And as a little 'encore' Henle have included thePrélude to the cantata 'La Damoiselle élue' in volume I. Each of the three volumes contains true highlights for the piano. But the short and lesser known works also offer a glimpse at the modern classical composer Debussy from adifferent angle. In addition each volume contains a helpful glossary with all of Debussy?s often very vivid performance instructions translated into English and German. Bon anniversaire Claude Debussy!
