Par WATERHOUSE GRAHAM. Jacobean Salute pourrait être interprété comme une symphonie miniature. A l'origine, une partie considérable du matériau thématique était destiné à cornemuses écossaises, qui est pourquoi les tuyaux basse bémol majeurs sont toujours audible dans certaines parties. Les glissandi des cordes, par exemple, sont destinés à montrer comment les tuyaux sont soufflé à travers. Le mot…

This ?Suite' is not one of my 'epic' instrumental concertos such as the concertos for cello, violin or oboe, but a substantially smaller-structured series of dance forms arranged into a suite. Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here, only to reach the surface, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom.Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal …

for piano. Par LARCHER THOMAS. Smart Dust' devices are tiny wireless microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) which are able to sense everything from light to vibrations. Thanks to new developments in silicon processing, these 'motes' are no larger than a sand grain even though they are provided with sensors, circuits, wireless communications and a power supply.

Par EBB FRED / KANDER JOHN. First performed in 1975, Chicago has become a true classic, and no other show better portrays decidedly questionable human characteristics.

Mathias' Sonatina, originally composed in 1953 but revised in 1986, is a slighter yet more approachable work. A considerable amount of straight repetition renders the music easily assimilable.

Any violinist who hears the name Sitt nowadays will probably just think of the author of studies and exercises that have long been a familiar feature in instrumental lessons. Of course the Prague violinist, music teacher and composer Hans Sitt (1850-1922) made a significant impact on methods of violin teaching, but he also wrote a whole series of other works worth listening to: concertos for violi…
