Fantasia (CLEMENTI)

SKU: CA.1039412

ISBN M-007-25220-5. Key: C minor. German/English. Text: Christoph Kuffner.

In a mixture of cantata and concert piece, Beethoven set a hymn to art in his Choral Fantasy. The work, about 20 minutes in length, is often seen as a precursor to the Ode to Joy in the 9th Symphony. After a piano introduction, a dialog between piano and orchestra develops in the space of just 400 measures, before the soloists and chorus enter for the last 200 measures. (If necessary, the solo parts can be sung by members of the chorus or a semi-chorus.) In the main section, headed Finale (beginning with the double basses and celli), the theme from Beethoven's early song Gegenliebe (WoO 118, also used in the Ode to Joy) is presented, varied and finally used in the March in F major. The main source of the Choral Fantasia for the edition is the first edition of the parts, published in 1811 and corrected by Beethoven; alongside this an English edition of the parts published by Clementi (1810) has been consulted for comparison. The edition contains an English singing version in a translation by Natalia Macfarren from the 19th century. Score and part available separately - see item CA.1039400.

Hungarian-English-German-French.

This is a sequel to the highly successful Child Prodigy Composers volume. In this second volume, the majority of the pieces are works recommended for pupils in the upper music school classes, and indeed some can be used successfully in secondary level teaching as well. Here too, most of the compositions were written before the age of 14 - it is amazing what highly developed piano technique some of these young composers already possessed at the age of 13 or 14!In addition to Muzio Clementi's A flat Major Sonata, the Allemandes by Carl Maria von Weber, Schubert's surprisingly mature C minor fantasia, the prodigiously talented Clara Schumann's two polonaises, Mussorgsky'sbrilliant polka, a sensitive waltz by Scriabin and Borodin's showy (but not difficult) four-hand polka, this volume also contains works by a Hungarian composer: the hitherto unpublished mazurkas by Ern Dohnányi, written around ages 11-12.

Dies ist die Fortsetzung der Erfolgsausgabe Wunderkinder als Komponisten (EMBZ14773). In diesem zweiten Band sind mehrheitlich Werke für die höheren Klassen der Musikschulen vertreten, manche Stücke können auch in der Mittelstufe eingesetzt werden. Bemerkenswert ist, dass ein Großteil der Werke mit unter 14 komponiert wurden. Verblüffend, über welche Klaviertechnik ein Teil der dreizehn-vierzehnjährigen Komponisten schon verfügten!Neben der Sonate in As-Dur von Muzio Clementi, den Allemanden von Carl Maria von Weber, der überraschend reifen Phantasie in c-Moll von Schubert, den beiden entzückenden Polonaisen von Clara Schumann, der brillanten Polka von Mussorgsky,dem sensiblen Walzer von Skrjabin und der effektvollen, aber nicht allzu schwierigen Polka für vier Hände von Borodin, erscheinen auch in diesem Band Werke eines ungarischen Komponisten - die Erstveröffentlichungen der im Alter von elf und zwölf Jahren entstandenen Masurken und Scherzandi von Ern Dohnányi.
