The Alexander Variations

(Homage to Haydn). Par GOEHR ALEXANDER. My piece is subtitled ‘Homage to Haydn’. Why? Because it is modelled on Haydn’s Variations in F minor/major. But modelled does not imply pastiche or imitation. From Brahms onwards (if not before) there are countless examples of pieces modelled on others in a variety of ways. To do this does not imply a closeness to the original, rather inevitably a distance from it. I don’t know whether a listener would be the wiser for knowing the original. In any case a composition must stand on its own feet. Alexander Goehr / Date parution : 2016-11-20/ Répertoire / Piano

One of the least known of the great Russian pianists of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, Alexander Siloti (1863-1945) was one of the most influential and progressive. As a concert promoter, he introduced the music of dozens of composers to the Russian public in the famous Siloti Concerts of 1903-1917, including Albeniz, Debussy, de Falla, Delius, Elgar, Enesco, Mahler and Schoenberg. A student of Liszt (and one of the teachers of Rachmaninoff), Siloti is a central figure in the development of the great age of the piano virtuoso. As with many of his colleagues, transcribing and arranging existing music for the piano was a major part of Siloti's activity, and since he madeno recordings, his published transcriptions are one of the few existing keys we have to his musical taste and philosophy. In an extended biographical essay, Dr. Charles Barber explores this issue and writes cogently about the style and influence of this remarkable man. The Alexander Siloti Collection is dominated by Siloti's remarkable transcriptions and arrangements of the music of J.S. Bach, notable particularly for their pianistic character and faithfulness to the unique genetic code of Bach's design. Some of the Bach works included are: Prelude in B Minor, BWV855a, Gigue from Suite in Bb Major, Chaconne in D Minor, the Organ Preludes in E Minor and G Minor and the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565. Music by Gluck, Mozart and Chopin is also contained in this generous compilation of pianistic wizardry. This addition to The Master's Collection is likely to be one of the most talked about piano folios of the year.

Les deux concertos pour piano de Glazounov appartiennent au genre du concerto symphonique, qui rend néanmoins très grandes exigences sur le soliste. Avec ses harmonies modernes intéressants, le Piano Concerto #2 opus 100 (1917) est sur le même niveau que le populaire Concerto pour violon opus 82. ' Dans ce concerto Glazounov a fourni un exemple brillant de sa compréhension de la variation thématique. Il nous dit qu'il se classe parmi les plus grands.

Score-Rossano Galante's The Redwoods for Orchestra.The Redwoods was commissioned in 1998 by the North Tonawanda High School Band under the direction of Norman Alexander.Thiswork inspired by the beauty power and majesty of the Redwood - the most remarkable of trees - begins with a heroic-romantic Trumpet melody accompanied by Woodwind arpeggios punctuated by Brass rhythms. After a transition theopening melody is followed by the rich lush main theme (m.29) which is stated by the Horns and Woodwinds.After the main theme has undergone variations in orchestration a new section follows (m.65) with the upperWoodwinds playing a second delicately stated theme reminiscent of a music box. The new theme is heard just once more (m.73) but played in a heroic manner by the Trumpets and Trombones in juxtaposition of the original 'music box'statement.The main theme recapitulates in a similar heroic manner (m.82) and as each theme returns it is heard with a change of instrumentation and accompaniment. After the final thematic statement a Brass fanfare bringsus to the end of the piece which culminates in a grand climax.

Henrik Wiese once again draws on his wealth of experience as a flutist and pedagogue: with his book “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“, he has compiled a total of 207 audition excerpts in a carefully edited and clearly arranged compendium. In alphabetical order, it contains standard passages from orchestral works of various genres throughout music history, both common and less frequently requested. This up-to-date collection is a reliable companion and indispensable for optimal preparation for international auditions of all kinds at the opera, with symphony or chamber orchestras.
Easy-to-read, uniform and modern layout make the edition convenient to use. The critical report and chronological list of audition excerpts for quicker stylistic classification make the editor a comprehensive coach for flutists. Numerous other tips and remarks gained by Wiese from his practical experience and exchange with colleagues and students complete the book. International demand is fulfilled by the texts being in three languages (German, French, English), thus making “The Piccolo & Alto Flute Audition“ the equivalent of the already established edition “The Flute Audition“.
