Toccata-Etude

Les Six Etudes ont été écrites de 1996 à 1998 et revues pour leurs versions finales en 2012,Elles sont dédicacées à Pascale ROUET, Sylvain HEILI, Aude SCHUMACHER, Pierre PERDIGON et François MENISSIER, Elles constituent des microcosmes singuliers contrastant les uns avec les autres, qui peuvent être joués en tant que suite ou séparément,Les six pièces s'inspirent librement de la musique française, allemande et italienne du XVIIe siècle, en reprenant un certain nombre de traits caractéristiques des formes musicales de cette époque : durée relativement courte de chaque pièce, registration presque unique, virtuosité sans difficulté, abstraction placée au service d'épanchements émotifs et sensibles, aspect essentiellement rhétorique, refus de la lourdeur harmonique au profit de lignes mélodiques travaillées et ornées, Etude 1 : Toccata 3'15''Etude 2 : Anamorphose 3'15''Etude 3 : Récit de Tierce 4'30''Etude 4 : Per Elevazione 4'Etude 5 : Sur la Quinte 3'Etude 6 : Stylus Fantasticus 3'30'' / Orgue

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.

Difficult Passages. Par THURSTON FREDERICK J.. Difficult Passages / Niveau : Difficile / Etude / Clarinette

Intended as pedal keyboard solos these organ pieces cover the range C1-F3. The first Étude-Caprice  Scherzando is a bouncy piece in arch form. The declamatory style of the second  Mesto forms a striking contrast: bass and treble registers set out distinct motives as though dialoguing in a play. In the second part of this movement a new motive  tenebroso is developed over a swaying ostinato in the lowest register. The third piece Giocoso is a badinerie (banter) with a Stravinskian theme. The last Étude-Caprice  Alla russa juxtaposes three strophes in toccata style.

F-Major Op. 54-Beethoven?s Sonata in F major Op.54 was written in 1804 just after the highly virtuosic ?Waldstein? Sonata and before the 'Appassionata? Sonata and has unjustly stood in the shadow of its predecessor and successor ever since. Its two movements are characterized by the friction between traditional form and creative abandon. While the opening movement marked ?In Tempo d?un Menuetto? plays with Baroque gestures and a sharply contrasting metrically distorted ?Trio? the toccata-like ?Allegretto? fluctuates between etude and sonata form. The unusual construction of the sonata caused perplexity even with notable critics who found themselves at a loss unable to recognize themaster. As such the work remains somewhat an insider tip until today a treasure to be discovered.For his new Urtext edition the world-renowned Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has examined meticulously all available sources and presents a reliable musical text.
